Sharing the video and the photo of the patient with huge swelling in his eye, NCMIndia Council For Men Affairs posted on X (formerly Twitter), "Meet Dr. *** working with District Hospital Mahoba, UP who ended up beating a patient named *** with his shoes because he requested him to not prescribe those costly medicine which is not available with the hospital Pharmacy. This is surely not what one can expect from his Doctor.? Dr. *** claimed in his defense that the Man was asking Rs. 200 from him to buy a liquor bottle and was misbehaving with women. But we can not see any woman there. It is so easy to bring gender card in every dispute."
