Patient Struggles Amidst Doctors' Strike Following Tragic Incident

A 47-year-old patient from Raipur faced challenges accessing treatment at AIIMS Delhi due to a doctors' strike protesting the rape-murder of a doctor in Kolkata. The protest disrupted services, affecting many patients like her and a 34-year-old from Uttar Pradesh, highlighting the strike's significant impact.

A 47-year-old patient from Raipur traveled to AIIMS Delhi for treatment of severe chest pain and breathing difficulties, only to return home without care as doctors continued their strike over the rape-murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata.

A hospital staff member told PTI that only patients with prior appointments were being treated, while a few resident doctors still attended to some cases in certain departments.

A 34-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh's Rampur also faced difficulties due to the strike, unable to receive timely medical attention.

The strike, led by over a thousand resident doctors, is in response to the brutal incident in Kolkata, demanding safety and justice.
