And he will as usual give at least two versions for the death. That must have been his PhD thesis.

-1+5#kayesenar2010-07-27 16:03

Who told you that he wrote a Ph.D. thesis. He has no dectorate degree.

He should definitely be able to solve this one....his specialty being post-mortem prognosis!!

lot of suicide now days fed up with new budget???

-1+15#ajith2010-07-27 14:19

Were the Nurses,attendants,doctors and the patients all sleeping during this time of suicide.
Well,we need Sherlock Holmes to investigate the logical reasoning.
Yet again a suicide just after a self immolation.
Is the government forcing its citizen on a suicide mission????.

Strange! Generally patients go to a hospital to cure themselves and escape death. Yet this particular patient had gone to a hospital to embrace death. Everything going in reverse gear now in this country.

The moral of the story is: if you want to succeed in ending your life, you may visit either the hospital or the police station.

Chintanaya is working now in poor people's stomach.

Is this another lover of the UNP ?

Aiyo Sirisena (Maithripala).

-1+3#Concerned2010-07-27 14:50

You mean to say the Colombo General hospital is a haunted place with no human being in that, so no body saw this person was trying to commit suicide?

-3+1#Top Srilankan2010-07-27 15:10

HOW old was this patient, hope this is not a boy who was killed by a pedophile doctor

-1+2#CW2010-07-27 15:22

Before blaming others find the cause. Did we not have patients commiting suicide before?

-0+3#Wasantha2010-07-27 15:23

It is natural that every patient expects considerable attention while being in a hospital.Once disregard by the loved one or the doctors & nurses, poor guys would become frustrated and lasting relief is attained to death. We cannot see anything wrong in his action in a banana republic.

Oh mother Lanka! what has happened to you...? All what we hear is negative.

-0+2#NN2010-07-27 16:21

"The patient was found dead in the 23rd ward of the hospital with saline drips still pinned to his arms."

Think it would have been very difficult for him to hang himself! Sounds like foul play!

-0+0#citizen12010-07-27 19:01

If he wanted to commit suicide, why do it in a hospital????
And why a sheet? Why not some pills?

If you see the quality of service ( personal care, attention and compassion) given by the Doctors, Nurses and attendants in Colombo National Hospital towards poor patients, this is not a surprise.

-1+0#Kira Kira2010-07-27 22:08

Have one nurse or attendant to look after each patient ,that will solve the unemployment problem. We already have
one govt. servant for every 19 people which is a world record.
