A recent incident has come to light where a brain-dead patient's body was left unattended for 2 days due to a dispute between AIIMS and GMC. The patient's organs could have been donated, but the delay caused by the dispute led to their wastage. This incident highlights the need for better coordination and communication between medical institutions to ensure that organ donation can take place smoothly. The dispute between AIIMS and GMC has been attributed to 'ego' issues, which is unfortunate given the critical nature of organ donation. The incident is a wake-up call for the medical community to prioritize the well-being of patients and their families over institutional interests.
