DMCH doctor 'assaults' patient
A senior doctor of the surgery ward at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) allegedly assaulted a patient in the hospital yesterday.
Ariful Haque Chowdhury Ripon was admitted to the DMCH on June 29 following a road accident.
The doctor pulled Ripon off his bed, slapped him and discharged him from the hospital after an altercation between Ripon and a female internee doctor over dressing his wounds on July 17, the hospital sources said.
Ripon's wife Dilara Chowdhury told The Daily Star that, following the feud, Ripon was being deprived of getting stitches he was scheduled to have yesterday.
DMCH Director Mustafizur Rahman told the reporters that the discharge letter had been withdrawn.
The doctor could not be contacted for comment.
