Viral Video of Doctor Lying on Patient's Bed to write Prescription Sparks Outrage
Jhansi: A shocking incident at a Community Health Center (CHC) in Mauranipur has gained media attention after a video went viral on social media, showing a government doctor unusually treating a patient. The footage captures the doctor lying on a patient’s bed while writing a prescription, facing away from the patient as she explains her condition.
In the viral clip, the doctor remains in a reclined position, his face turned towards the wall, while the woman patient sits beside the bed, describing her health issues. Instead of sitting up and engaging with her directly, he listens while nodding and writes the prescription without making eye contact.
