A Louisiana doctor is accused of wasting five crucial minutes while a young child in her care was drowning right in front of her.
Sukanthini Subbiah, 48, was arrested by the Orlando Police Department on Wednesday and charged with first-degree aggravated manslaughter of a child for allegedly allowing seven-year-old Khushil Bandi to drown.
At the time of the drowning on April 10, Subbiah was visiting her mother in Orlando, Florida, with her son, who is also seven years old and was identified as DJ by police, according to an affidavit reviewed by the Daily Mail.
While Subbiah was in town, her son became friends with Khushil and his twin sister, who lived in the neighborhood, according to sworn statements the doctor gave to police.
Subbiah said that she went with her mother and DJ to pick up the neighbor's kids and go to a pool near their home with permission from the twins' mother.
The group arrived around 6.20pm, and the three children immediately jumped into the pool, Subbiah said. Shortly after, the doctor noticed Khushil had been underwater for '45 seconds or so,' she told police.
Subbiah said she then told the other two seven-year-old children to retrieve Khushil, but they told her the water was too deep. She then requested help from another man at the pool, who jumped into the water and pulled out an unconscious Khushil.

Kids who are drowning present very differently than people think they do, or how it is presented in film. It’s very easy for someone who is not familiar with how drowning looks to not realize that someone is drowning.
It’s not obvious.

This story has little to do with her qualifications as a physician. It’s a case where a bystander may have had a legal duty to help. Fascinating case.
“Louisiana doctor Sukanthini Subbiah.”
Yeah, right.
She needs her medical license pulled.
This is why these foreigners don’t belong here. Their morality is different.
Unless the kid has gills, five minutes under water should be a large clue - even to a doctor.

Being underwater for 45 seconds should be a clue, however.Waiting another 5 minutes takes it to the next level.

I don’t see in the quoted text where she wasted any significant amount of time.
I think a child can hold his breath for close to 45 seconds.
Female doctors do the same thing, just about every day in most cases, by not telling people to simply stop or greatly cut down carbs if they’re diabetic. They instead watch their patients bodies degrade, as they endure the horrific complications of over the years and finally die 10 years early (on average).
Come to think of it, so do male doctors (in the vast majority of cases).
[[by the way, cutting out carbs was the ONLY treatment for diabetes before Insulin was available...think about it]]

Indians have no fear of death or dying. Indeed, they welcome it, knowing they'll be reincarnated back as anything other than an Indian.
And of course being Indian, the natural reaction to seeing another Indian drowning (a fate that frequently visits Indians) is to stand aside and film the event on their iPhone. At any rate, they might've been different castes which would explain her reluctance to assist.
With no regard for your personal safety...you jump into the pool. Period!
There are two types of diabetes, as I understand things [I’m not a doctor].
Before insulin became an available drug, Type I diabetes (childhood onset typically) eventually became lifeless as I understand things.
Type II diabetes (until recently having only an adult onset), the far more common type, comes in large part from the diet.
Type I - infected(?) pancreas
Type II - overworked pancreas
When I saw her name my first thought was maybe she didn’t grow up in a helper culture. But taking someone else’s child to a swimming pool brings more responsibility. Not a lackadaisical reaction where you shift your responsibility to someone else.
“by not telling people to simply stop or greatly cut down carbs if they’re diabetic.”
I think doctors are currently taught to be non-judgmental. Someone can be obese, smoke, take drugs, or engage in risky sex, and the doctor may not say anything.
That said, I did get a sales-job about my “vaccine hesitancy.”
That’s pretty much right, maybe exactly right:
Type 1 is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks the beta cells in the pancreas.
Type 2 is basically due to burnout (actually, near-burnout) of a healthy pancreas as it attempts to provide more and more insulin to the body’s increasingly resistant cells (think opioid-addicted people, they need constantly-increasing quantities because their bodies become resist to the drug).
For a long time when Insulin was available, Insulin couldn’t be measured as it was a tiny amount. That changed in the 1960s when methods were devised that measured Insulin, and it became quite clear that the difference between the two types were huge (as we’ve stated). But the one thing that didn’t change was that zeroing-out carbs greatly reduced the need for Insulin (not completely, but damn close!). So, for both types, the medical community has had 60 years to get it right...and CHOSE not to.
The children immediately jumped into the pool .
I wonder if the kid hit his head when he jumped. Easy to do in the shallow end.
Is it safe to assume the child knew how to swim ? Not knowing how to swim would probably preclude them immediately jumping in.
Did she know how to swim? If you don’t know how, don’t take kids to a pool and expect other’s to save them. If you are the children’s parent don’t allow someone else to do this either. BTW wading into the Ganges doesn’t count as swimming.
