It was not business as usual for the city's Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital (Sion Hospital) on Monday, as the medical professionals decided that they had enough of the 'hooliganism' that patients' relatives have been indulging in for the past week. A swarm of police personnel guarded the hospital premises as doctors went on strike following an attack on a young medical professional on Saturday. Resident doctor of the hospital's medicine department, Dr Rohit Kumar was badly thrashed and abused by the relatives of a 60-year-old woman, suffering from renal problems, after she died while undergoing treatment.
