SEREMBAN: The Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital (TJH) will probe a claim that a patient was discharged when he was not medically stable, says its director Datuk Dr Zaleha Md Noor.
She said a committee which would include specialists would be set up to probe the case after it went viral on social media.
"We view this issue seriously and will call for a meeting with the complainant to get a better picture of what happened.In the message which went viral, a woman claiming to be the patient's wife alleged that her husband, who had been in a coma and admitted at the hospital for more than three weeks was discharged by doctors although his condition was not yet stable.
She claimed that doctors had been planning to discharge her husband for days, saying that he didn't need specialist care any longer despite him still being in a coma. She claimed that her husband finally started breathing on his own last Thursday and again doctors said that he could be discharged as the hospital needed the bed for other patients.However, he suffered a seizure as they were nearing their home and he had to be rushed to the emergency department at the Jelebu Hospital.
The woman, who has a four-month-old baby, said doctors at the Jelebu Hospital said her husband's condition had since worsened and that he was not as responsive as when he was wheeled in.
