A patient's family has alleged that trainee doctors at Cooper hospital conducted the cataract surgery, which they botched up, causing loss of vision. The hospital authorities have refuted the allegation. Police have started a probe based on a complaint letter sent to the BMC chief.

Ramila Purshottam Waghela, 58, from Andheri’s Sahar Road was admitted to Cooper hospital on May 31 for surgery in the right eye. 
 
“The next day [June 1], trainee doctors conducted the surgery, and she was shifted to the ward. Her dressing was removed the following day, and she could not see. My mother also complained of severe pain in the eye and head, and started vomiting,” said her son Mahesh Waghela.
