Ahmedabad horror: On-duty Doctor brutally stabbed by patient, 2 attendants for insisting on filing an MLC
Doctor Stabbed
Ahmedabad: In a horrific incident, a 25-year-old on-duty medical officer at Lokhandwala Hospital in Dariapur was brutally stabbed by a knife in the left side of his chest by a patient and his two attendants inside the hospital premises, after a dispute over filing a medico-legal case.
After sustaining severe injuries in his chest area, the doctor was rushed to the trauma ward of the Civil Hospital in Asarwa for emergency treatment. He is currently conscious and stable.
The brutal attack happened while the doctor was examining a patient with multiple injuries brought in by two unidentified men. The doctor informed them that the case required police intervention and advised them to seek treatment elsewhere due to the unavailability of a surgeon. However, the two attendants got angry over this and started an argument with the doctor.
