Protest against the recent incident of violence against a doctor in Kolkata
Doctors and students representing the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and Tamil Nadu Government Doctors’ Association (TNGDA) protested against the recent incident of violence against a doctor in Kolkata, here on Friday.
Paribaha Mukherjee was brutally attacked by a violent mob at NRS Medical College. President-elect of IMA (Madurai chapter) V. N. Alagarvenkatesan said that doctors should feel secure in order to properly execute their duty. “The police outpost here functions effectively. If there is better security or police force to weed delinquents out in hospitals, we will feel secure,” he said. R. Rajendran and R. Balaji Nathan of TNGDA said, “Protect Doctors” was key theme of the protest.
Dr. Nathan said, “If a death occurs within the first 30 minutes, it cannot be because of the doctor because they give their heart and soul to ensure that the patient is alive. Doctors should have the confidence to ensure that they can attempt resuscitation. If they fear attack from attenders, it is possible that doctors may retract in fear,” he said.
