hi,
I am from vadodara. recently few days ago one general surgeon was beaten
very badly by dead patients relatives and other gunndas. no one was there to protect oour surgeon.this is high time that we should think for ouor protection. kindly give your suggestion inthis regards.

that's terrible...guards are usually posted in the hospital for this. Did the beating take place outside?

it is a must that country wide law regarding this issue should emerge, I guess all the assosiations we have must respond to issues like this & take the issue to higher stages where action can be taken precisely, above all, I wonder when the MCI is intended to be so strict in certifying why can it protect us, I do understand that the issue we are talking about is a bit fragile in nature, but then it can make a big difference if a law against this behaviour is applied..doc saves lives & who the **** saves him.
