Another report of doctors' assault has come to light. This time the case has come from D.Y Patil College, in Mumbai. The attack took place late evening on 19th November, 2015.
Two Resident doctors, one of whom is identified to be Dr Rajat Khandelwal with the Medicine Department at DY Patil, were coming down the stairs post completing their evening rounds, when they were attacked by 4 men. These were the relatives of one patient, Suresh Mhatre, a cardiac patient who was admitted in the ward and had been advised an ultrasound. The doctors pointed out that since the vitals of the patient were stable, ultrasound could be deferred till morning, post which the attendants got angry and began attacking these doctors. The hospital staff immediately rushed to the rescue of the doctors, but they have sustained minor injuries
