The doctors feel that after tending to her for the past 11 days and being familiar with the gut-churning case, they should have been part of the team accompanying her to Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital. Finally, only one doctor from Safdarjung, ICU in-charge Dr P K Verma, went along.
In fact, Safdarjung officials conveyed this to the government, but their proposal was shot down on Wednesday afternoon, with the government deciding to involve private hospital Medanta Medicity: a call supposedly taken by home minister Sushilkumar Shinde which has raised eyebrows.
Sources told TOI that the medical superintendent (MS) of Safdarjung Hospital Dr B D Athani visited Shinde's residence on Wednesday afternoon carrying passports of six experts from the hospital for a closed-door meeting that was attended by Intelligence Bureau chief Nehchal Sandhu, home secretary R K Singh and joint commissioner of police Vivek Gogia.
The six-member Safdarjung team was to include surgeon Dr Rajkumar Chajera, who conducted the first surgery on Nirbhaya after she was brought to the hospital on December 16, Dr P K Verma and Dr Ranju Singh who were monitoring her round-the-clock in the intensive care unit, gynecologist Dr Rekha Bharti who was the specialist on call and two nurses who have been by her side all through.
The Safdarjung doctors were stunned when the government asked cardiovascular surgeon Dr Naresh Trehan to put together a team from Medanta to accompany Nirbhaya to Singapore.
"We found it strange that the team from Safdarjung Hospital which knew Nirbhaya's condition best was sidelined. In fact, it was after much discussion that even Dr Verma, who knew Nirbhaya's condition best, was taken on board," a health ministry source told TOI.
Asked why Medanta was suddenly brought into the picture, Dr Trehan told TOI, "We have a special team of doctors trained in critical care to conduct emergency evacuations on air ambulances. That's why we were brought in."
The government was mulling over the option of shifting Nirbhaya outside India since Monday night on the "basis of an intelligence report that a fatal conclusion to her life could see the national capital in turmoil". Nirbhaya was finally shifted on Wednesday night.
Dr M C Mishra, chief of AIIMS trauma centre, was also supposed to accompany the medical team to Singapore. "But he backed out at the last moment. This delayed our schedule by two hours. The air ambulance was originally scheduled to depart Delhi at 9.30pm. It took off finally at 11.30pm," a health ministry official said.
