Stage protest demanding better security a day after attack on junior doctor
Around 50 doctors at the Government General and Chest Hospital, Erragadda, boycotted elective duties for six hours on Monday in protest against an attack on their colleague the previous day. They resumed duty after hospital superintendent Mahaboob Khan assured to improve security measures. Second year post graduate student Krishnan Namboothiri E. on Sunday alleged that six attendants of a 52-year-old patient, suspected to be suffering from COVID-19, attacked him. They were provoked when he asked the patient what medicines she was taking for hypertension, Dr Krishnan said, adding that the attendants told him that he was supposed to know better.More Related News
