Ajmer: Two on duty resident doctors attached to Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JLN Medical College), Ajmer were brutally assaulted by a mob following the death of a patient. The incident triggered the medicos who protested against the attack, and held candle march demanding immediate arrest of the culprits.
The victim doctors were first-year residents who were rushed to the emergency ward as they suffered internal bleeding and grave injuries during the attack.
"The resident doctors will not suspend the emergency or other work considering the interest of the patients. However, if the accused are not arrested within 24 hours, the doctors will consider going on strike", informed Dr. Rohan of FAIMA.
Dr. Devraj Rao, Ex-President RDA Ajmer told Medical Dialogues, " Both the doctors received serious injuries. One of them is still admitted to the ICU and catheterized. He also received injuries in his private part. I highly condemn this act of violence against the hardworking doctors who leave no stones unturned to save people".
Dr. Rohan, on the other hand also added, " All the resident doctors in the country are overburdened due to pandemic and the NEET PG exam which was supposed to take place on December also got delayed which forced them to take up double duties. If these kinds of incidents keep on taking place where the responsibility of the death of a critical patient is aggressively placed on a doctor and the doctor is being assaulted by the patient's kin then none will be willing to attend a critical patient. Thus it will have a negative effect on Healthcare as doctors will be scared to take critical patients and will refer them instead. FAIMA highly condemns the incident and we demand the immediate arrest of the accused."
