New Delhi: A fake doctor posing as an Associate Professor from AIIMS has been nabbed from Safdarjung Hospital today.
The revelation came after the said fake doctor came to the Orthopedic department of the hospital, asking the resident doctors not to discharge an admitted patient. He informed the doctors that he is an Associate Professor at the AIIMS Trauma Centre, showing an ID card as a proof.
Dr Balvinder Singh, Assistant Professor, Orthopedics Department, Safdarjung Hospital, the treating physician of the said patient informed Medical Dialogues, " This gentleman posing himself as an Associate Professor at AIIMS, came to us telling us not to discharge an admitted patient. During our discourse, we had an inkling that this person was not medical practitioner and we began cross-questioning on basic questions on Medicine and Orthopedics. Upon our questioning he panicked, confessing that he is not a doctor but an impersonator. We immediately called the police and informed the MS."
