MRI centres in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar are now under police radar after a woman in her complaint claimed misleading medical report by a renowned pathology lab. According to the woman, who had got her ovaries removed earlier, she had visited the pathology for an MRI, the report of which showed her ovaries 'fine and without any swelling'.
Shocked over the report, the woman along with her husband approached a police station, claiming a city-based renowned pathology lab is doing fraud with patients.
"I had got my ovaries removed a few years back. Then, how come they are fine and shown in the MRI report? This is fraud," the victim stated in the complaint.
She also alleged misbehaviour by the path lab staffers after she objected to the report.
According to Gulzar Mirza -- the victim's husband, also a journalist with a Hindi daily newspaper in Muzaffarnagar, "When I complained about the report, the staff offered to conduct an MRI again, but I refused. When I tried to shoot the heated argument of the staff on my mobile phone, they snatched my phone and pushed and dragged me. They also misbehaved with my wife."
The Civil Lines police have now started an investigation into the matter.
Commenting on the complaint and the incident, Chief Medical Officer of Muzaffarnagar said, "We are going to launch a checking drive to verify the unauthorised MRI centres across the district.
