Rats Attack Paralysed Man

It took a patient being bitten by rats in the Intensive Care Unit of a hospital in Jodhpur to trigger a clean-up drive. At the city's MDM Hospital today, workers were seen cementing holes through which the rats entered the ICU. Floors were given a good scrubbing, and tiles that had fallen off were slapped back on.

A 70-year-old paralysed man on ventilator in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a government hospital here was allegedly attacked by rats who nibbled on his ears, nose, lips and cheeks while hospital staff slept, hospital sources said.
