Days after resident doctors resumed work following an 11-day nationwide protest in response to assurances from the central government that security forces at all hospitals will be increased up to 25%, an on-duty junior resident doctor recently became the subject of violence after he was allegedly abused and slapped by a patient and his attendants at Dr Hedgewar Hospital in Karkardooma.
According to the police, the patient became violent after he felt pain when the doctor was addressing his wounds.
