- Viral video exposes security lapses
Bhopal: A disturbing incident of assault between hospital staff and a patient’s family has come to light at Hamidia Hospital in Bhopal. A video of the altercation, which reportedly occurred around 10 PM on Thursday night, is now circulating widely on social media, raising serious questions about the hospital’s security and overall management.
Reports indicate that a young man brought a patient to the hospital on Thursday when a dispute with a staff member escalated into a physical confrontation. Onlookers attempted to intervene and de-escalate the situation. The emergence of this video has sparked widespread concern and criticism regarding the hospital’s operational efficiency and patient safety.
Hospital management remains silent amidst repeated incidents
This isn’t an isolated event. There have been several previous instances of Hamidia Hospital staff and employees allegedly assaulting patients’ families. Despite complaints, the hospital management has been criticized for failing to take decisive action. This latest incident, occurring late at night, also reportedly caused distress to other patients admitted at the hospital.
While top hospital officials state that an investigation into the video is underway, the public’s sentiment suggests a larger issue of mismanagement. Citizens are voicing concerns about the prevailing “dictatorship” within the hospital, from parking areas to the inner wards. Many are demanding transparency regarding the exact cause of the fight and accountability for those involved.
