Tensions mount at SN Medical College after PG medico's suicide: Resident doctors demand HoD's ouster, faculty urge fair inquiry
The tragic suicide of a resident doctor from SN Medical College has sparked tensions on the campus, with the resident doctors demanding strict action against the HoD Pharmacology and faculty members seeking an investigation into the allegations.
On June 15, the Resident Doctors’ Association (RDA) submitted a memorandum alleging that the medico took the extreme step due to mental harassment and continuous pressure from the Head of the Orthopaedics Department over his thesis. The RDA claimed that the doctor had made serious accusations before his death and demanded an immediate removal of the HOD, along with a high-level independent inquiry.
Similarly, the association, in its latest official press release, also threatened to stage a protest and symbolic strike, stating that if no action was taken by June 17, all resident doctors would observe a symbolic work boycott on June 18 from 8 AM to 10 AM, affecting OPD, ward, and elective OT services.
