Senior Medical Officer Allegedly Urinates in Ward, Hospital Faces Questions Over Conduct
Tonk: A shocking incident has come to light from a government hospital in Tonk, where a senior medical officer allegedly urinated in front of patients, including women and their attendants, while in an intoxicated state, triggering outrage and embarrassment among those present.
Incident Inside Saadat Hospital Ward
The incident reportedly occurred around 10:30 pm on Monday at Saadat Hospital. According to eyewitnesses, the doctor entered Ward 20 in an inebriated condition, staggering and muttering incoherently, creating panic and discomfort among patients.
Alleged Obscene Behaviour in Presence of Patients
Eyewitnesses claimed that soon after entering the ward, the doctor allegedly removed his pants and began urinating in front of both male and female patients, as well as their attendants. The act reportedly left patients shocked, humiliated, and visibly distressed.
Doctor Falls After Losing Balance
After the alleged act, the doctor reportedly lost his balance, stumbled, and fell onto the ward floor. Patients tried to stop him and questioned his behaviour, but he allegedly failed to respond properly and continued muttering, remaining on the floor for some time.
Staff Accused of Inaction
Patients alleged that ward staff remained mute spectators during the incident and failed to intervene immediately. It was only after repeated appeals from patients that the matter was conveyed to hospital authorities.
PMO Intervenes, Doctor Taken Away
The information eventually reached Principal Medical Officer (PMO) Dr Hanuman Bairwa. Following his intervention, hospital staff brought a wheelchair, placed the doctor on it, and escorted him out of the ward before he was taken home.
PMO Confirms Intoxication
Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, Dr Bairwa confirmed that the doctor was intoxicated. He stated that the doctor had taken leave to go to Jaipur but returned the same day. “Coming to the hospital after consuming alcohol is wrong,” the PMO said, adding that the doctor is currently on leave and has not yet undergone a medical examination.
Questions Over Accountability
The incident has raised serious concerns about professional conduct, patient safety, and accountability in government hospitals. Patients and local residents have demanded strict action to ensure such incidents are not repeated and that hospital premises remain safe and dignified for all.
