In a bizarre fit of rage, one of the assailants bit a resident doctor on duty, while others were attempting to attack them with rods
New Delhi: While the Medical organisations are preparing a white paper on violence against doctors and creating awareness across all stakeholders on the issue across the capital, reports of instances of doctors being beaten up at government facilities keep pouring in on almost a daily basis.
The new instance of violence has been reported from Lady Harding Medical College/ Kalawati Hospital, where a mob of around 20-30 people attacked three resident doctors on duty and destroyed hospital property. The mob attack came after a three year old child was brought to the hospital in critical condition with ?encephalitis . The patient was in critical condition when admitted to the hospital, and the doctors on duty duly explained the situation to the family. Unfortunately, despite all efforts, the patient did not survive.
