Patients get away with misbehaving with the healthcare staff, even in private tertiary hospitals that have tight security. Imagine what might be happening daily in a government community health centre.
A man named Shraddhyeya Gaur recently misbehaved with the staff at a Community health centre at Seoni-Malwa in Madhya Pradesh. The incident took place on April 28.
The man had visited the community health centre to seek treatment for his daughter, who was having loose motions and vomiting. The patient was also showing symptoms of nausea and indigestion.
However, due to some issues over the treatment, Gaur got into an altercation with the doctor and the nurse. Gaur also abused them. The Block Medical Officer lodged a complaint on Saturday morning.
Gaur has been arrested under Section 151 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
