Rajasthan Shocker: Lab Attendant Conducts ECG After Watching YouTube Tutorial; Video Goes Viral

Jaipur: A viral video of a lab attendant allegedly performing an ECG scan on a patient while a watching YouTube clip at Jodhpur's state-run hospital has surfaced on social media, prompting the administration to launch an inquiry.

In the video, family members of the patient are seen raising objection saying conducting the scan without proper knowledge could kill him, to which the attendant said he had no other option as there was no staff.

The helper is also heard saying that the lab technician has gone home on Diwali leave. Everything has been installed in the right place and the machine will do whatever work it needs to do, he added.

After the video surfaced, Principal BS Jodha of the attached medical college said necessary action will be taken after investigating the matter and the video.
