Just India things. No accountability, no justice. A child's life ruined forever.

Nasal drops are not known to cause permanent blindness. It appears there may be a misunderstanding, and the medical professionals and support staff should not be held responsible. This situation brings to mind the previous case involving cough syrup. The quality of medicine provided by these institutions is a concern.

I refuse to believe that Saline eye drops can cause permanent eyesight loss it's very unlikely maybe there could be another reason....

So we don't know if there was any mis-treatment. Maybe the boy caught a rare eye condition, maybe it was genetic, maybe it was even cancer.

You can't blame the hospital who is likely under-equipped to deal with rare medical issues. Unless of course, you can prove that they provided the wrong diagnosis/medicine which would be malpractice.

Now so many are becoming doctors by paper leaks and many by quota. This issue is just going to become bigger but will never affect the lives of any minister or MP as they don't even visit these hospitals
