"I have age-related ailments and can't walk properly, but the doctor mocked me and screamed at my wife saying that as I take more time to walk and speak slowly, I should not be not visiting him as it wastes his time (sic)," the patient told HT.
The patient went to the hospital administration to complain about the incident. The patient alleged that the health centre responded late and also asked for the 'compromise' with the doctor.
