I suppose YOUR doctor could have done better...

November 16, 2005NEW DELHI -- A woman died in a Calcutta hospital after ants ate one of her eyes as she was recovering from a cornea operation, media reports said Tuesday.
Gauri Chakraborty, 55, had complained of terrible pain after the operation at a state-run hospital, but a nurse told her it was normal and left her unattended, her son Soumen told the Press Trust of India news agency.
He said that when her bandage was removed the next day they found big black ants nibbling at her eye, PTI reported.
"She died a ghastly death. We don't even know the reason of her death," Amitabha Kar, Chakraborty's son-in-law, told PTI.
Local Health Minister Surjya Kanta Mishra demanded a report of the incident from the hospital authorities. In response, the hospital superintendent said an inquiry committee has been set up, PTI reported.

I would have figured the tell-tale trail of ants would have made someone suspicious!

"C'mon Doc! It REALLY hurts! Could you at least take a look?!"
