Haryana: A doctor from the civil hospital, Jind has been suspended by the state Health Minister Anil Vij for allegedly slapping a patient's kin. The matter came in light when a video of the alleged incident went viral on social media.
According to recent media reports, the patient's father first visited the nursery with his one-month-old infant for the treatment. The on-duty nurse referred him to the emergency unit saying that in the nursery, they only treat the infant below 25 days. When the father reached the emergency unit and asked the on-duty doctor to treat his sick infant, the doctor referred him to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGI), Rohtak.
The father alleged that even when requested the on-duty doctor to provide first aid to his son, as Rohtak was too far and his son needed urgent medical attention, he denied any help. Bhaskar reports that the father then tuned his mobile camera on and asked the doctor to repeat his words, after which the doctor allegedly snatched the phone and slapped him. Then, the doctor allegedly asked him to leave the hospital.
