Doctors allege abuse over missing medicines

New Delhi: Doctors of a private city hospital on Monday alleged that they were abused and manhandled by the relatives of a patient over medicines, which they claimed, had gone missing. An FIR was registered against four unknown people, including a woman, Friday, police said.

 According to the complaint, three people came to the casualty department of Jaipur Golden Hospital Friday and started arguing with the doctor on duty. 

"They said they had left medicines at a particular place three days ago when they had come to admit their patient but now the medicines were missing. We tried to explain that as the duty staff has changed, it could not be traced immediately and that it will look into it and they will be informed," a doctor claimed. 

The people then started abusing the doctor and thrashed him. Another doctor came to his defence and they beat him up too, the doctor claimed.
