Medico Brawl over Pathology report: 3 Surgery Resident Doctors suspended
Ahmedabad: Three General Surgery resident doctors of BJ Medical College Hospital were recently suspended after they got into a spat with the medicos and technicians of the Pathology Department over alleged discrepancies in a pathology report of a patient. The altercation reportedly turned violent leading to fight and vandalisation of the hospital property.
Agitated over the suspension and expulsion from the hostel of the three doctors, the medicos of the General Surgery Department staged a protest outside the administrative office of the city-based civil hospital.
This came following a scuffle that erupted between the doctors attached to Surgery and Pathology Departments on December 3 (Tuesday) around at 6 in the morning when the doctor from the surgery department allegedly highlighted some flaws in a pathology report of a patient. The row soon turned serious and violent ending up in a fight including the counter window on the pathology lab allegedly being smashed.
