Doctor locks herself after tiff with junior who alleged harassment, Nair hospital orders inquiry
The present case sparked panic in the hospital after a senior doctor allegedly accused of ragging juniors, locked herself in her room on September 12. The medico did so fearing serious consequences after the junior doctor told her that she would move a complaint against her.
Mumbai: In wake of an altercation between two female doctors from the ENT Department of BYL Nair Hospital, a probe has been launched to verify whether the incident was a misunderstanding or harassment. During the tiff, when the junior doctor told the senior medico that she would file a complaint against her with high authorities, the senior doctor panicked and locked herself in her room.
With this, it has once again become a cause of concern for the civic-run hospital as a few months ago 26-year-old Dr Payal Tadvi, a second-year post-graduate medical student hanged herself in a hostel room on May 22 after facing casteism by her senior colleagues.
