Caught on camera: GMC Srinagar 3rd year PG medico slapped by patient's attendant

In a disturbing incident, a third-year postgraduate resident doctor from the Medicine Department at Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital, affiliated with Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar, was allegedly brutally assaulted by a patient's attendant following the patient's death. CCTV footage from the hospital's emergency ward, which has gone viral on social media, shows the attendant slapping the doctor inside the ward.

Sources told Medical Dialogues that the doctor, originally from Bihar, is physically handicapped, and the impact of the slap was so severe that he almost collapsed on the ground after being hit.

The incident took place on Tuesday when a patient was brought to the emergency department of GMC Srinagar by an attendant. At the time of arrival, the patient’s blood pressure and pulse were unrecordable. Despite doctors performing CPR and making every possible effort, the patient could not be revived. Later, the attendant returned to the ward and physically assaulted one of the doctors involved in the treatment.
