A viral video from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, has exposed a horrifying breakdown in patient care.

The parents of an 11-year-old boy suffering from a serious spinal condition were left with no choice but to push his stretcher themselves between MY Hospital and the Super Speciality Hospital.

In the sweltering heat, the mother was seen repeatedly soaking a scarf in water to keep her son cool as they traveled nearly a kilometer.

While hospital authorities claim this was a result of confusion regarding documentation rather than medical abandonment, the incident has rightfully triggered widespread public anger. A

dministrative action, including salary cuts and the termination of the security in-charge, has been initiated, but the question remains: why must the most vulnerable among us pay the price for systemic neglect?
