Members of the Resident Doctors’ Association (RDA) of Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI) have threatened to suspend non-emergency services at the college-attached hospitals if immediate action was not taken against those who caused ruckus at the COVID-19 ICU ward in K.R. Hospital on Sunday night and verbally abused doctors and nursing staff attending to critically-ill patients. Barring duties at the COVID-19 ICU ward and the emergency ward, all non-emergency services, including out-patient services and surgeries, would be withdrawn from Tuesday if the people behind Sunday night’s incident were not booked immediately, said RDA Vice-President Shivananda after staging a protest against the incident on Monday. The resident doctors staged the demonstration in protest against the alleged attempt to assault doctors and submitted a memorandum to the dean and director of the MMCRI listing out their demands for implementation. Police visited the hospital and enquired about the incident.
