Yet Another Doctor Assaulted by Patient Kin, Once more Doctors call it a Strike

New Delhi: The resident doctors attached to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital (DDU) were recently seen resorting to an indefinite strike after a resident doctor was assaulted by patient relatives during a night duty.
The incident took place on Thursday, when a woman patient was admitted to the hospital with a suspected poisoning. While waiting outside when their patient was being treated, her husband, Sunil, and his brother got into an argument and began verbally assaulting a woman doctor over the delay in her treatment. Soon, the argument heated up.
“The brothers told the police that they were objecting to a delay in treating their family member who was hospitalised because of suspected poisoning. The doctor, however, claimed that they turned aggressive despite the patient being attended promptly,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (West), Vijay Kumar informed the Hindu.
When the Station House Officer (SHO) of Hari Nagar police station reached the spot, the clash between both the parties was at its worse. The authorities found the entrance closed and several patients waiting outside. Following the incident, the cops deployed there took them to a police booth at the hospital.
