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

Bengaluru, Aug 6: No private hospital in Karnataka can turn away a patient without attending to him or her, irrespective of the Coronavirus status, an official has said.

"Private medical establishments shall not deny treatment and admission to any patient approaching the establishment irrespective of the fact that such patient may or may not be suffering from Covid-19," an official from the state Health and Family Welfare Department said on Wednesday.

Likewise, no private hospital can insist on a patient for a Covid-19 test report, said the official invoking the Disaster Management Act.

"The establishments also cannot insist for Covid test report," he said, directing all private hospitals to strictly abide by their responsibilities.

According to the department, it is the duty of every private hospital to provide first aid and take lifesaving steps when any patient approaches it.

"It is the duty of every private medical establishment to provide first aid and take lifesaving measures to stabilise the patient," he said.

The department also invoked statutes from Karnataka Medical Establishments Act 2017, under sections 11 and 11 (A) to drive home the message.

The directives assume significance at a time when several cases of private hospitals denying admissions and fleecing patients across the state have emerged.

"It has been noticed that some of the private hospitals are refusing treatment and admission to emergency patients, causing distress and this has resulted in complications, leading to death in certain cases," said the official.

The district authorities have been directed to take action on the erring hospitals as the department reiterated the responsibilities of private medical establishments.
