Andhra Pradesh: In an extremely bizarre incident, an orthopedician working with the Proddatur Government Hospital in the Kadapa district allegedly attacked the hospital superintendent with an injection containing HIV infected blood, while the senior was making rounds.
The incident goes back to Friday night, when Dr David Raj, apparently disgruntled by the Superintendent Dr K Lakshmi Prasad's behaviour towards him, attacked him with an infected injection. TOI reports that orthopaedician David Raju reached the chambers of Dr Lakshmi Prasad, the hospital superintendent, tried to attack him with a syringe containing the blood of an HIV patient. Luckily, a member of the staff noticed the syringe in his hand and helped Dr Lakshmi Prasad ward off the attack and the tainted blood spilled on the ground. Soon the orthopedician was apprehended by the hospital staff and police was called.
