As a child, I saw doctors as heroes-respected, brilliant, and noble. I chose this path with pride. But today, as a doctor, I find us fighting just to be safe, to be heard, to be treated with dignity. It’s heartbreaking to see what this profession has come to.
If a corporator thinks it’s okay to beat up a doctor, then the next time there’s a pothole in a road in his area, is it okay to beat him?
Asking for several friends
Kohli proves you can be a joru ka ghulam and a mumma’s boy at the same time without any complication when you know how to handle relationships properly
🚨UPDATE: The doctor involved in this incident is currently fractured and bedridden!
🙏 Sharing the doctor’s version. The version that third-grade, TRP-hungry journalists like @ShivAroor conveniently refuse to show. Journalists who have sold their credibility to peddle shameless, one-sided bullshit and jingoistic noise. Please share with all because no one else will!
➡️ I dare him to share this version and publicly apologise for calling the doctor a thug. If he doesn’t, I will assume this thug journalist is also a coward --> someone who would quietly smile, nod, and say thank you even if a stranger abused his father and mother and then hit him.

❌ This DID NOT START with violence from the doctor!
It began with continuous verbal abuse by the patient, including explicit abuse directed at the doctor’s mother and family.
➡️ Despite this, the doctor repeatedly tried to calm the patient down and de-escalate the situation.
✅The doctor has been working here for over 8 years and has treated 5,000–7,000 patients. He clearly states that no patient has ever behaved like this before.
🚨The situation escalated only after the patient:
1. Continued abusing the doctor and his parents
2. Picked up an IV stand and attempted to assault the doctor
3. Pushed the doctor violently, resulting in a fracture of the hand and severe back pain
☠️ After this, the patient called 200–250 people, who entered the ward, created chaos, vandalised hospital property, shouted threats, and turned a hospital into a place of fear.
🚨 Before virtue-signalling from studio chairs and Twitter threads, ask yourself one simple question:
Would you say the same thing if this doctor were you or your brother, your sister, or your parent? If this answer is yes, very sorry to know that the wrong sperm won the competition! 👎🏽
For years, we have seen videos of doctors being assaulted, and the armchair intellectuals remained silent. Many even mocked the doctors’ plight instead of raising their voice.
Now one video emerges where a doctor refuses to get beaten up and takes action to safeguard himself, and suddenly we have people giving us gyaan. Sorry, we do not need it.
Every doctor has the right to defend himself or herself.
Our resident doctors, who work day in and day out, often in emergencies and in pathetic conditions, are not punching bags.
To those who think they can hit a doctor, Fuck Off!
The reason why most doctors are not condemning that IGMC incident is because we didn’t see any outrage for countless incidents of violence against doctors.
So, we have been - do hell with the moral high ground.
Becuase that same moral high round is dropped at the drop of a hat when violence is against doctors.
I do not expect the general public to understand why the vast majority of doctors are choosing to side with the IGMC resident.
All of us have seen violence, and the constant threat of violence, so closely during our internship and residency that it becomes deeply personal for each one of us.
We will support and trust our resident doctors unless there is very strong evidence to the contrary.
I am also proud of our medical fraternity. When an issue impacts one of us, we almost always unite and keep our differences aside.
This is not arrogance or any so called superiority complex, as some are trying to label it.
It is simply that those who have worked on the frontline understand how difficult the conditions are, and we share a strong sense of brotherhood with our residents and interns.
I am sure RDA, IGMC and medical fraternity across the country will take steps to protect the dignity of the resident doctor.
Doctors pass the NEET-UG exam to enter MBBS.
They give hundreds of exams to complete MBBS.
Doctors crack the NEET-PG exam to enter MD/MS.
They again give hundreds of vivas and exams to complete MD/MS.
Doctors again clear the NEET-SS exam to enter MCh/DM.
They again give hundreds of exams and vivas to complete MCh/DM.
So, doctors can’t be third-rate.
They don’t have to bootlick politicians to become doctors, unlike some journalists who do so for trash journalism.
The harsh reality for doctors in India:
1.Born → Crack NEET-UG → Complete MBBS → Unemployed
2.Prepare for NEET-PG → Clear MD/MS → Unemployed again
3. Do Senior Residency for 3 years → Unemployed once more
Whether you accept it or not, job stability is practically non-existent in the medical profession in India.

Dear whoever it may concern
This is how your doctor rest while in 36hr duty , on the floor by the cornor wall !
Believe me if your doctor has a bed for himself in a govt set up , he would have given up that too just to admit 1 more patient ..
It's not doctor vs patient, it's us against this broken system, unresponsive govt !

Honestly, I’m just sick and tired. Everywhere I look, antibiotics are handed out for everything. It’s becoming exceedingly rare nowadays to see prescriptions without antibiotics.
Flu gets a 3rd-gen ceph + doxy,
Dengue gets Pip-Taz,
Asymptomatic bacteriuria gets quinolones,
Venous ulcers get linezolid.
It’s not about patients “demanding” them. Convincing people not to take antibiotics is actually easy, and I’ve done it for 15 years without a fuss.
The problem is us. Prescribers. Is it a skill issue or zero accountability? And no one to call it out.
Doctors blame pharmacists, but the prescriptions I see are mostly from doctors of all strata. ERs, DMOs, recent pass-outs, experienced practitioners, literally everyone.
We desperately need strict regulations. Because antimicrobial resistance is not a far-off theory, it’s already here.
