On-duty doctor abused, slapped by patient, his attendants at Dr Hedgewar Hospital
Days after resident doctors resumed work following an 11-day nationwide protest in response to assurances from the central government that security forces at all hospitals will be increased up to 25%, an on-duty junior resident doctor recently became the subject of violence after he was allegedly abused and slapped by a patient and his attendants at Dr Hedgewar Hospital in Karkardooma.
According to the police, the patient became violent after he felt pain when the doctor was addressing his wounds. This led to an escalation of the situation, during which the doctor was reportedly slapped. Additionally, the patient's son and daughter, who were present at the scene allegedly abused the doctor and other hospital staff.
