Female Doctor 'Assaulted' By Patient's Relatives At Delhi's Hedgewar Govt Hospital

A female doctor was allegedly assaulted verbally as well as physically by a patient's relatives at the Delhi government-run Hedgewar hospital here on Friday.

The incident allegedly occurred at the hospital in Karkardooma in the morning.

The doctor who was "assaulted" was unreachable as her mobile phone was switched off. One of her colleagues said she is traumatised due to the incident.

A resident doctor told PTI that a 70-year-old man was brought to the hospital in a critical condition. He was suffering from high blood pressure, paralysis on one side of his body, breathing difficulties and chest pain that had persisted for three days.

The patient was attended by the female doctor, who promptly suggested an ECG for further evaluation.

However, the patient was allegedly not cooperative during the procedure and insisted on consulting a heart specialist, leading to his referral to the Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, the resident doctor said.

He added that an ambulance was dispatched to take the patient to the GTB Hospital, along with a member of the hospital's staff due to the man's critical condition.

"Unfortunately, during the journey, the patient's condition worsened and he died. The ECG conducted at the GTB hospital showed no sign of life," the doctor said.

When the body was returned to the Hedgewar Hospital, the patient's relatives allegedly subjected the on-duty female doctor to verbal abuse as well as physical assault, leaving her traumatised, the resident doctor said.

The relatives of the patient allegedly beat up the female doctor with footwear and manhandled her, he added.

According to the resident doctor, no action has so far been taken by the hospital management in this regard.
