A female attendant in the casualty department of Government Medical College Hospital (MCH) in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, suffered a head injury after the cap of an oxygen cylinder flow meter burst and struck her forehead. The hospital said the incident happened around 1 a.m. on Friday, February 6, 2026. No one else was hurt. A hospital spokesperson said the attendant is fine now and added that she probably did not handle the equipment properly, which caused the accident. This is not the first time such an incident has happened at the MCH. Last May, a 21-year-old anaesthesia technician was injured when an oxygen cylinder flow meter detached improperly and hit his forehead.
