Bhopal: A doctor in a government hospital in Madhya Pradesh resigned after he was allegedly yelled at by some Congress leaders, including former minister PC Sharma following the death of a patient.

Meanwhile, Sharma claims that he did not speak rudely to the doctor and got involved because the patient was a member of his Assembly constituency.

Videos of the incident went viral on social media.

In one of the videos shared on Twitter, Dr. Yogendra Shrivastava says that "a patient came to us at 12.30 with SPO2 33% he was immediately given the primary treatment and his relatives were made aware of his conditions. We informed them that our ICU is full and we can’t admit him here... and then this happened all in a span of 1 hour".

"After the patient's death, a few outsiders came in and started misbehaving with me. I am mentally agonised, I don't want to do this. I don't want to receive such abuse, I have resigned": he adds in an emotional outburst.

The video is shared by user Ritika Pandey who claims to have been at the spot when the incident took place. In this purported video, MLA PC Sharma and former Congress corporator Yogendra Chouhan shouting at Dr Yogendra Shrivastava.

Government JP hospital civil surgeon Dr Rakesh Shrivastava told news agency PTI, "Our senior doctor Yogendra Shrivastava has resigned after some politicians misbehaved with him. A patient in a critical condition was admitted to the trauma ward this morning. Dr Yogendra told his family his condition was too critical. During treatment, he died, following which some politicians misbehaved with the doctor".

Reacting to the incident, CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan tweeted: "Saddened by the incident, a senior doctor has resigned. We live in a civilised society and right now it is the time to stand together. Creating furore was neither in public good nor right in the fight against Covid-19."
