500 Patients Left at the Mercy of One Doctor,

Bhopal: The Civil Hospital in Byawara is struggling to provide adequate medical care to its patients. The hospital's system is in disarray, and the patients are suffering as a result. The situation is so dire that 500 patients are being treated by a single doctor, and emergency services are non-existent.

According to eyewitnesses, the hospital's OPD is chaotic, and patients are not receiving timely treatment. The doctors are not available during their scheduled duty hours, and the emergency services are being handled by a single doctor. This has led to a lot of inconvenience to the patients, who are forced to wait for hours or even return without receiving treatment.


On Friday, Dr. Tanvi Chauhan, a lone female doctor, was handling the OPD duties. The situation was so critical that even the hospital's administration was unable to intervene. The patients were frustrated and helpless, and the hospital's system was on the verge of collapse.

The hospital's doctors are not taking their duties seriously, and the situation is further complicated by the absence of senior doctors. The hospital's administration is aware of the situation, but it seems powerless to take any action.

Doctors' Status

* Dr. Rakesh Gupta: On court duty
* Dr. Komal Dangi: On night duty
* Dr. Sourin Datta: On leave
* Dr. Sharad Sah: Adjusted duty
* Dr. Sandeep Narayan: Day duty
* Dr. R.K. Jain: Sonography
* Dr. J.K. Shakya: On leave
* Dr. Brijmohan Gupta: Half-day duty
* Dr. J.U. Sheikh: Meeting in Rajgarh
* Dr. Tanvi Chauhan: Morning duty
* Dr. Tarunima Patel: On leave
* Dr. Rinku Sharma: Cesarean
* Dr. Jatin Sen: Night duty

The hospital's administration has failed to implement the protocols set by the health department, which has led to this crisis. The protocols dictate that doctors should be available 24/7, but in Byawara, this is not the case.

Strict Action Will Be Taken

The hospital's administration has assured that strict action will be taken against the errant doctors. The administration has also promised to take steps to improve the hospital's services and ensure that patients receive timely treatment.

"We will take strict action against the doctors who are not taking their duties seriously. We will also take steps to improve the hospital's services and ensure that patients receive timely treatment," said Dr. Sourin Datta, the in-charge Medical Officer of the hospital.

The hospital's administration has a lot of work to do to restore the faith of the patients in the hospital's services. The patients are suffering, and it is the responsibility of the hospital's administration to ensure that they receive timely and adequate medical care.
