Mumbai: Female Resident Doctor Abused By Patient, Family Members At Sion Hospital

The patient, who was in an inebriated state, abused the female resident doctor in the early hours of Sunday.

A female resident doctor was allegedly assaulted by a drunk patient and his relatives at Mumbai's Sion Hospital on Sunday morning, said a doctor from the hospital. The incident comes amid outrage over the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee medical student at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. 

The attack on the female resident doctor in Mumbai took place at around 3:30 am, said Akshaya More, General Secretary of Sion-MARD and BMC-MARD. 

The patient arrived after midnight with his 7-8 relatives and was involved in an assault before coming to the hospital, More told news agency ANI. 

"... The patient arrived in casualty after midnight in an intoxicated state with 7-8 relatives. He was involved in an assault before he came to the hospital, and had injury marks on his face... Owing to his injuries, he was given an ENT reference around 3:30 am," More said. 

The on-call resident doctor on duty in the ENT department, where he was given reference, was a female. When she undressed the wounds to examine them, the patient started abusing her verbally.
