Surat: In a shocking incident, a resident doctor from the surgery department at the trauma centre of Surat New Civil Hospital has alleged misbehaviour by a heavily intoxicated patient, who was brought in by ambulance for emergency treatment. The situation escalated following a heated confrontation that broke out between the Casualty Medical Officer (CMO) and resident doctors, ultimately leading to a strike. The resident doctors who joined the strike claimed that instead of ensuring their safety, the CMO joined in a blame game with the resident doctors over the incident. Soon, a large number of resident doctors from the surgery department gathered outside the CMO’s cabin. Following the incident, hospital superintendent Dr Dharitri Parmar and other medical officers rushed to the spot.
