A mentally retarded patient who was being treated at the psychiatric ward of the Peradeniya Teaching Hospital died today after a fellow patient of the same ward tried to overpower him by covering him with a bed sheet.

Police said the victim had lost control and acted violently after his condition worsened, when the others had tried to bring him under control. (JAL Jayasinghe and Shane Seniviratne)

Where were the doctors in the ward? Were they on a fast-unto-death campaign?

How a such thing happened in a hospital? Where are the doctors, nurses, attendants and other hospital who are looking after the ward? What were they doing? Its a big puzzle for us.

Like in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (film).
For those who are ignorant doctors and nurses are not at patients bedside 24/7 anywhere in the world.

Not strange at all!! Imagine the victim as the SL public who are being overpowered by the COL and gettling strangled to death?

Recommend a pay cut for the staff at the hospital...
