Government and BMC hospitals were limping back to normalcy, after the resident doctors’ strike called to protest attacks by patients’ relatives, when another incident of an assault last night put all on edge with security across hospitals tightened. While hospital gates remained shut for all except ambulances and vehicles carrying patients, guards and policemen were deployed to man all entry and exit points.
