Ask victims as Lady Hardinge College docs say they won't join work till demands are met
Ask victims as Lady Hardinge College do
Sitting outside the Out Patient's Department (OPD) of Lady Hardinge Medical College and Sucheta Kriplani hospital, 67-year-old Shankar Prasad was a worried man. He had come here to get his daughter treated but due to the ongoing strike of the doctors, there was no one to look after her.
"These doctors do not think about us before going on strike. This hospital is centrally situated and a large number of people come here for the treatment. Will they let a person die just because of their strike?" asked Shankar.
He was not alone. "We have been waiting for the doctor for the last two hours but nobody is there to look after us," said Anita Sharma, 33, who had come to the hospital for treatment.
The strike by resident doctors of Lady Hardinge Medical College and Sucheta Kriplani hospital entered the third day on Sunday. With OPD being virtually shut down, the patients are facing a tough time but the doctors are refusing to call off the strike.
"We will not call off the strike until the administration takes some serious action against the accused employee who had beaten our colleague on duty. The administration is not ready to take any action against him. Last year also, a similar incident had happened but we did not pursue that case but this time we will not leave it," said Dr Rajiv, President, Resident Doctors Association.cs say they won't join work till demands are met
