It was an alert pharmacist who reported a nurse to a
patient's family when she came to the store to sell stolen medicines. If not
for 33year-old Yogesh Maru the theft of medicines prescribed to a 75-year-old
patient admitted to UN Mehta hospital's ICU would have gone undetected. It
could have possibly complicated the patient's health condition had her family
not found out that medicines meant for her were being stolen and sold off.
Maru, who has been working at Dev Medical Store near
the hospital for three years, could have simply bought back the medicines from
the accused nurse. But he suspected something fishy about the whole thing and,
like a dutiful citizen, promptly reported the matter to the patient's son.
