The Medical Dialogues team had last reported about an incident of doctor assault where an on-duty casualty medical officer was brutally beaten by the patient due to a delay in providing the treatment. Following that, a young man was arrested for allegedly assaulting a doctor doing emergency duty at CIMS (Chhattisgarh Institute of Medical Sciences). Dr. Anshul Bhowmik was the casualty medical officer in charge of the casualty ward of CIMS. The incident took place when a young man came around 11.15 pm and showed the OPD slip and said that he had ear pain. Due to being delayed in the treatment, he started creating a ruckus in the ward. Then Dr. Anshul asked him to keep calm. As a result of this, the young man got upset and started beating the doctor and even tore his clothes. After that, the young man ran away from the hospital.
