Bhubaneswar, Jan 20 (PTI) With super specialist doctors treating dalit
rape victim of Pipili in Odisha sceptical about her complete recovery
due to part functioning of her brain, authorities of SCB Medical
College Hospital in Cuttack today decided to try music therapy for her
cure. "After consultations with Dr Bhabani Shankar Das, former
director of National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences
(Nimhans) and super specialists in AIIMS, Delhi, we have decided to
take help of the music therapy in order to bring back normalcy in the
victim," hospital superintendent D N Mohapatra told PTI. Claiming that
treatment given to the 19-year-old girl had been appreciated by
experts of AIIMS, Delhi, the hospital superintendent said a senior
doctor from VSS Medical College Hospital in Burla, has been hired to
start music therapy. As the girl, according to her parents, was fond
of music while active, the 13-member super specialist team of the SCB
Medical College Hospital in Cuttack, decided to try the music therapy.
"We hope the girl will respond to the new method of treatment," the
superintendent said. Among the choices made for the treatment of the
girl, the hospital authorities have decided to play devotional songs
dedicated to Lord Jagannath and Lord Shiv in slow pitch, they said
adding they were hopeful of the girl's recovery. "Besides, voices of
her parents and close relatives will also be played to activate her
brain cells which remained dormant for some days," he said. more
