Doctors ran inside the Doctor’s Duty Room for cover and the guards ran away. Around 1,200 resident doctors from New Delhi’s Lady Hardinge Medical College and its two associated hospitals went on a flash strike on Thursday to protest doctors getting beaten by the relatives of a patient. Two of the mob members were even inebriated,” said Dr Vikram Bhaskar, senior resident doctor, paediatrics department. When she died at around 5 am, her parents called up their friends and family and nearly 15 people barged into the paediatric ward and attacked three resident doctors on duty. However, even during this incident, the guards ran away and the few CCTVs that are present in the hospital were not working,” said Dr Ravider Chauhan, president of the resident doctors’ association at Lady Hardinge Medical College.
