Resident doctor dies after suicide attempt, accuses HoD Pharmacology of harassment
Resident doctor dies after suicide attempt, accuses HoD Pharmacology of harassment in last breath
In an unfortunate incident, a resident doctor at SN Medical College, Jodhpur, who allegedly committed suicide after consuming a sulphos tablet on Friday, sadly passed away during treatment at SMS Hospital on Saturday night.
After his death, the family members of the deceased, a 3rd-year postgraduate student in Pharmacology, refused to accept his body on Sunday, alleging that he was subjected to mental harassment by the Head of the Pharmacology Department. It has been reported that the professor’s alleged constant pressure and toxic behaviour over his thesis caused him severe stress and emotional distress.
Demanding an action and investigation against the professor, the family staged a sit-in protest outside the hospital, and the resident doctors of Jodhpur's SN Medical College and Jaipur's SMS Medical College also joined them in solidarity at SMS hospital's mortuary, where the body of the deceased was kept.
