Karwar, Jan 4: Ananthkumar Hegde , the Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Uttara Kannada has created ruckus at a private hospital and assaulted three persons including two doctors in Sirsi town in his own constituency.

akhegdeThe reason for the violent behaviour of the five-time BJP MP and hardline Hindutva leader was that the treatment for his mother had allegedly been delayed for some time as the doctors were busy in treating other patients.

Lalitha, Hegde's mother, was taken to TSS Hospital at 7 pm, soon after she tripped and fell. Dr G V Madhukeshwar, orthopaedician, examined her. He said she had suffered a fracture, and went to perform an operation on another patient.

Lalitha was made to wait for hours in the outpatient department. The MP, who came to know about the delay, arrived at the hospital at 11 pm.

He entered into an argument with Dr Madhukeshwar, Dr Balachandra and Rahul, a hospital staffer. He then flew into a rage and assaulted them. All three sustained injuries. The incident was caught on camera, and posted on YouTube.

Members of the Indian Medical Association submitted a memorandum to the assistant commissioner in connection with the incident.

Dr Kailash Pai, president of the local unit of the IMA, said, “The duty doctor responded suitably to the patient. It was not proper on the part of the MP, who is in a responsible position, to behave in that manner. Such incidents lower the morale of the doctors.”

Bipolar disorder is a Condition Characterized by extreme shifts in Mood, energy and behavior.. this syndrome is mostly acting without their knowledge.. may be this is the reason Mr. MP Reacted after his mother got delay in treatment... out of this he has a history of hatred over minorities and Dalit.. but Voters must think before voting such personality.poor Doctors may be did not have proper security system in the hospital

Mangaluru, May 17: Former health minister U T Khader demanded that the authorities carry out a scientific analysis of the five deaths that occurred due to Covid-19 in Dakshina Kannada. 

“The number of fatalities vis-à-vis the number of positive cases in the district is worrying, and the district administration and health department should not take the matter lightly. Lapses, if any, in dealing with the co-morbidity factors should be addressed, lest it become a major health challenge,” he warned.

Addressing reporters on Saturday, Khader, said only carrying out such types of analysis will help the health department combat the spread of the novel coronavirus in the future. “At present, the only data available with the health authorities here and in the state war room, is the number of people tested and number of positive cases,” Khader said.

“Any strategy to combat Covid-19 must be built around scientific analysis of causes of how the disease is spreading and to do so, concrete efforts must be made to find the source of the cluster at the First Neuro Hospital in Padil. A analysis of reasons that caused the deaths, will also come in handy for the authorities to prepare suitable advisories for the people, who in turn could take informed decisions,” Khader noted.
