Govt Doctor allegedly treated by Unqualified staff on Rajdhani Express, Charged Rs 350 without bill

Dr. Divya further claimed that although no official receipt for the service was provided, she received a bill for the medication via a messaging app. "Even after repeated persuasion, I was not given a bill for the so-called doctor's visit," she said. The North Central Railway is yet to issue an official statement regarding the matter. However, the episode has sparked debate about the need for strict protocols, accountability, and trained professionals to handle passenger health emergencies onboard trains.

However, at Kanpur Central station that night, she discovered that she was attended by a technical staff member instead of a qualified medical practitioner. She told the Daily, "He administered an antibiotic, despite my symptoms being clearly related to gastric discomfort. When I identified myself as a senior medical professional and questioned the treatment, he remained silent but still insisted I pay Rs 350 for the visit and an additional Rs 32 for the medicines."
