Andhra Pradesh: Patient Attacks Woman Doctor, Bangs Her Head On Bed At Hospital
A junior woman doctor was attacked by a patient at Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS) in Tirupati amid a nationwide call for doctors’ safety in view of the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s hospital. The incident was captured by a CCTV camera in the hospital.
In the CCTV footage, the patient is seen violently grabbing the doctor by her hair and forcefully slamming her head against the steel frame of a hospital bed. The sudden assault causes immediate alarm, prompting other doctors in the ward to rush to their colleague’s aid. With swift coordination, they overpower the attacker, who is then removed from the scene.
