π Doctor sent on leave for rude casualty behavior
A female medical officer was placed on mandatory leave after her rude behavior towards a patient went viral. The incident occurred at the Kottarakkara Taluk Hospital when a patient with fever and pain sought help. Video footage showed Dr. Rekha Krishna aggressively telling the patient his fever was not an emergency on September 01, 2026. Public backlash followed when she dismissed the patient's wife's concerns about a heart condition with a mocking tone. The Health department's vigilance wing is now investigating the matter. π
