Kolkata doctor shoulder dislocated by kin after death of patient
Even though the sudden suicide of Dr Archana Sharma had shook the entire medical fraternity and voices were raised demanding justice, violence against doctors has not stopped and the latest act of violence was faced by the doctors and staff of Howrah District Hospital after the death of a critical patient.
Around 3-4 doctors were physically assaulted by the families of the late patient and the on-duty medical officer Dr Nabarun Majumder suffered most. The shoulder of Dr. Majumder got dislocated and he will not be able to join work for around 3 months. Another doctor, Dr. Pramit Basu received injury in his head. The culprits also vandalized the hospital and damaged the medical equipment including the ECG machine.
