Just weeks after two doctors were attacked at a civic hospital in Dombivli, Maharashtra’s medical fraternity is once again on edge after an orthopaedic consultant was allegedly assaulted by a patient’s son at Bhanujyot Hospital in Kalyan.
The incident, which took place late Saturday night, was captured on the hospital’s CCTV cameras and has since gone viral on social media. Footage shows the doctor explaining the patient’s treatment and addressing the son’s queries when the conversation reportedly turned into a verbal dispute. After leaving the doctor’s chamber, the patient’s son allegedly returned within minutes and assaulted the doctor. The doctor has been identified as orthopaedist Dr Yogendra Jaiswal, who was verbally abused and beaten up after he objected to the son’s use of informal, disrespectful language during the consultation.
Speaking about the incident, Dr Harbada, the owner of Bhanujyot Hospital and a consultant physician, said the doctor had patiently examined and treated the patient, who had come in with complaints of back pain.
