Mysuru: The recent cases of 18 youngsters succumbing to heart attacks in Hassan has sent panic waves among people who have been storming Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovasular Sciences and Research in Mysuru for the health check-up. The number of outpatients has increased with more than 1,000 people rushing to the hospital on a daily basis.
People are seen standing in long queues as early as 7 am and an hour later the number increases by five times. The increase in the number of outpatients has led to increase in work pressure not only for the doctors, who are attending 80-100 patients everyday but also to lab technicians who are testing blood samples and conducting other tests on the patients.
