Gynaecologist Slapped for Recommending Caesarean instead of Normal Delivery
Rajasthan: A gynaecologist working with the Sawai Madhopur district hospital recently became a recipient of physical abuse from an attendant of a pregnant patient, after the doctor suggested that the patient has to undergo a caesarean delivery whereas  the attendant kept on insisting the doctors to perform normal delivery.
The incident happened after the doctor informed the female attendant of the patient, that the patient who was in the Operation theatre would have to undergo a caesarean.
