Doctors cannot function under threat of being harassed, beaten up: HC
The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently opined that if the doctors always face the threat of being beaten up by the relatives of the patients, they wouldn't be able to function properly.
Such observations came from the High Court bench comprising of Justice Vikas Bahl while the court was considering a petition filed by a relative of a patient seeking dismissal of an FIR made by a doctor. The doctor had alleged that after the death of the patient the relatives of the patient created turmoil in the hospital, allegedly beat up the doctors and also threatened to murder the doctor concerned.
