Doctors and nurses at the Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar continued their protest for the second consecutive day on Saturday, leaving majority of the patients in limbo.
On the other hand, the situation has been made more complex because the relatives of patients have also started protesting.
The protesting doctors and nurses are demanding security for themselves after a doctor was beaten by relatives of an accident victim who passed away at the hospital a few days ago.
The incident occurred on Thursday when an accident victim was brought in to the hospital and doctors, despite putting in their efforts, were unable to save the life of patient.
Doctors have demanded security and registration of a case of attempted murder against those who attacked their colleague.
Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses are attending to those brought in to the hospital’s emergency department. However patients in other wards are suffering, due to which their relatives have now started to protest against the doctors.
