Her reasoning? Stitches would go away an “ugly scar” on the kid’s face.

Regardless of the seemingly innocent final result, the boy’s household filed a criticism with the native well being safety committee. The district well being officer (DHO) responded by transferring the nurse to a different facility.
Nonetheless, as public outrage over the “lenient motion” gained momentum on social media, DHO Rajesh Suragihalli issued a show-cause discover to Jyothi on Jan 17 and later suspended her, pending an inquiry.
