Bahrain: Man dies after suffering broken leg
The Public Prosecution has begun investigating the case of a young Bahraini man who died after his leg got broken while playing football.
The victim was admitted to the emergency department at the Salmaniya Medical Complex (SMC) after he was injured. A doctor attended him and provided the necessary care, including x-raying his leg and splinting it, as per the statement, which added that the defendant returned the following day to consult with a specialised doctor as per the advice provided to him by the first doctor.
He was told that the splint will remain for one month and a half, and he didn’t x-ray it again. However, the deceased felt severe pain after one day and he visited the doctor again who just re-splinted it without examining it. The young man died while he was at the hospital after shivering before falling to the ground.
