In an unfortunate incident, a 65-year-old man allegedly had to pay with his life for the negligence of doctors in the famed Sassoon Hospital. On January 26, one Ramesh Vasant Gavali was admitted to a private hospital in Vishrantwadi after he fainted at home. He was asked to get an angiography done, as the doctors there suspected a blockage, and was directed to Sassoon Hospital.u00a0
