Daltonganj, June 24: Palamu Civil Surgeon Dr Anil Kumar prefers taking his morning walk in the corridor and emergency room to the open field on most of the days.
He took a detour to the MMCH early morning very recently when he found two resident doctors absent from duty during the period 7am to 9am.
This 2 hour period here is when doctors on duty do the vanishing trick most.
Again early morning if clean up is not done, the hospital looks a terrible mess.
Sharing his experiences of his recent early morning venture into the MMCH Daltonganj civil surgeon Dr Anil Kumar said “Two resident doctors who were to be on duty from 7am to 9am were found absent. It’s not at all desirable. I wish young doctors to be utmost dutiful.”
On dirt, dust and filth Dr Anil Kumar said “It was there. But I don’t know what our hospital manager does. An outsourcer is here and it is extremely sluggish so far cleanliness of the MMCH Daltonganj is concerned.”

On being asked if his early morning jaunt did serve any purpose to which the civil surgeon said “Words spread about his walking down in the hospital faster than expected and there were doctors on duty at 9am sharp the most rush hour of this hospital.”
DC Palamu Shashi Ranjan has also directed the hospital authorities to take utmost care of treatment of the passengers but at no cost of dirt and dust.
On being reminded that there is a perennial problem with water in the MMCH Daltonganj to which the civil surgeon said “I had my mid night stand up when boring work was on. We got a good level of underground water. Now it is piped in the MMCH Daltonganj.”
It is seen that either the pump fails or the pipe bursts in a year or two in the hospital so if the destiny of the MMCH Daltonganj will be any the same with the boring done recently to which Dr Anil Kumar said “Pump fails or pipe bursts when quality is compromised with. This situation arises when the water man offers you in hand but if your hand is closed the quality is bound to be of standard. Here it was done the same. Quality first and last.”
There is a wide spread feeling that MMCH is under the administrative and financial control of the medical superintendent but when any emergency or crisis erupts right from DC Palamu down to the common man starts looking for the civil surgeon and here the civil surgeon finds himself in a tight corner.
Commenting on this Dr Anil Kumar said “MMCH is for everyone. Here the medical superintendent and civil surgeon can’t afford to have any water tight compartment but a wedge between the two is created off and on.”
