Lucknow : A woman junior resident doctor at King George's Medical University (KGMU) was critically injured after falling from a threestorey hostel building on Tuesday morning. Around 8:15am, she was found severely injured at the girls' hostel and was rushed to the trauma centre, where she remains on ventilator support. The police officials claim that the fall may have been a suicide attempt, but final confirmation will depend on the ongoing investigation.
KGMU spokesperson Prof Sudhir Singh confirmed that the hostel provost was alerted by a guard about the doctor's condition. She was found in a semi-conscious state with severe hip inju ries, and police were promptly informed. Chief medical superintendent of the trauma centre, KGMU, Prof Prem Raj Singh, stated that the doctor suffered fractures in both hip bones but did not experience internal bleeding in vital organs. Senior trauma surgeons Prof Sameer Mishra and Prof Anita Singh are overseeing her treatment. An investigation is underway to determine whether the fall was a suicide attempt or an accident. Preliminary reports suggest dissatisfaction in the job could have led the woman to take such a step.

KGMU officials said that JR recently secured admission to the MD (Medicine) program for the July 2024 session after excelling in the NEET PG exam, and moved into the hostel just six days ago.
