Agra: Junior Doctors of SN Medical College clash with patients attendants
Advertisement
After alleging that a patient’s attendants at the SN Medical College threatened them with a gun, the junior doctors at the college have warned of a strike if an appropriate action is not taken against the accused.
The incident apparently turned in to a clash between the junior doctors and the attendants, resulting in the doctors demanding an immediate action against the culprits. However, after the police intervened and took immediate action against the accused, the doctors continued with their work.
This is a second assault incident reported at the college, within a short gap of one and a half months. In the previous incident, it was alleged that two junior doctors and one ward boy were brutally assaulted by a mob of 20 people following an altercation with a patient’s relative.
As a follow up action now, the college authorities are looking closely into the matter. The senior doctors have recently held a meeting to discuss steps on strengthening security and safety measures of doctors.
