New Delhi: A shocking incident has emerged from Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati, where a junior female doctor was assaulted by a patient at the Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS). This attack comes at a critical time, following a nationwide outcry for enhanced safety measures for medical professionals in light of the recent brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at a hospital in Kolkata.
CCTV footage reveals a patient's vicious attack on a doctor, where he brutally grabs her hair and slams her head into a hospital bed post. The sudden and violent outburst triggers an immediate response from nearby medical staff, who quickly rally to their colleague's defense. Through swift teamwork, they successfully subdue the assailant and escort him away from the scene. According to reports, the accused patient was drunk and unconscious, but when he woke up he attacked the junior doctor.
