Kerala: Lady Doctor attacked at Kottarakara Government Hospital
Kerala: A recent incident of a lady doctor attacked by the relatives of a patient has left the doctors infuriated. The rising number of such cases has only led to the Kerala Government Medical Officers Association (KGMOA) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA) demanding better protection for doctors in the state.
The reported incident happened at the Kottarakara Government Hospital. The doctors here are now demanding action against the relatives of the patient who attacked in the scene.
In the alleged incident, a nine-month pregnant woman-Shahida was admitted to the hospital, and reportedly died later. The relatives have alleged a case of medical negligence as they feel she was in a perfect condition when she was brought to the hospital. She reached the hospital on foot, as claimed by the relatives. As they alleged, she died because of lapse on the part of the lady doctor, who was in-charge of the OT at that time.
