The report, “Out of joint” (’Ground Zero’ page, September 15), was heart-rending. My grandfather had hip replacement surgery in 2013 but began his battle with agony and severe pain a year later. The ‘Ground Zero’ report has now given us clues about his deep suffering. Medical negligence is a reality in India largely on account of the rapacious nature of some systems in the medical field.
