SCB doctor, nurse attack patient’s kin again in OdishaCuttack: Relatives of a patient became the target of the ire of a doctor at SCB Medical College and Hospital again here on Tuesday.

According to reports, the kin of Sangita Sahu of Ramnagar area in Kendrapara district had admitted her to the Gynaecology department of the government-run hospital on Monday night. Sangita’s relative Arati Sahu called the medical staff on duty after Sangita’s condition deteriorated. She reportedly caught the hand of the duty nurse when she did not listen to her plea. Angry at this, the nurse allegedly attacked Arati and assaulted her. The on-duty doctor also joined the nurse in beating up Arati.

“They did not pay any attention despite my repeated requests. The on-duty doctor and nurse beat me up as I just touched one of them. After beating me, they told me to go and file a police complaint. We are frightened that they may do anything to us and the patient. So, we have decided to move to a private hospital in Bhubaneswar,” alleged Arati Sahu.

“We will definitely file a police compliant against the doctor and nurse seeking action against them,” she added.

Later, the kin of the patient walked out of the hospital and rested under a tree for sometime as they were scared following the incident. Then they shifted the pregnant woman to a private hospital in Bhubaneswar.
