Seven senior resident doctors handle the work of 20 to run the emergency medicine department round-the-clock at New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). The resident doctors are the first ones to get beaten up by the families and blamed by the administration,” he said. “The shortage forces us to depute a single senior resident for each shift. However, this year it is worse,” said Dr Vijay Kumar, president of the resident doctors’ association at AIIMS. The work pressure has forced the six remaining resident doctors to consider quitting from the premiere institute.
