With the suicide of the doctor at Nair Hospital still garnering widespread attention, it is important to pay attention to all the twists and turns as the case moves forward. Central to all the ensuing protests and statements emanating from the hospital is that a young life has been lost. Nothing should make us lose focus of that.

What is evident though is that, complaints have not been taken cognizance of or have been dismissed as trifling. While the onus may be with the authorities, it is evident there was not enough intervention at various levels while the doc was complaining about the harassment.
