Agitated interns ransacked four rooms including the rooms of Emergency Department and the director of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) in protest against 'assault' of a colleague by a patient's attendants on Friday night. The interns also beat up patient's attendant Rabbi, seriously injuring him. Eight-month-old Labbi, daughter of Abdul Gani of village Kaltapara in Gouripur upazila, was admitted to the MMCH at around 10:00pm on Friday but she was not given any treatment after two hours of her admission, said her relatives. As Labbi's maternal uncle Rabbi went to the interns' room and requested them to take necessary steps for her treatment, serious altercation followed. The intern doctors caught Rabbi, took him to the Doctor's Club and beat him mercilessly. Critically injured Rabbi was admitted to MMCH. Later the intern doctors ransacked four rooms of MMCH. The hospital authorities took quick initiatives to settle the matter with the intern doctors. When contacted, MMCH Deputy Director Dr Siddiqur Rahman claimed that the intern doctors were attacked first and later they beat up Rabbi, the patient's attendant. Following the initiative taken by authorities, the intern doctors joined their work shortly, he said. The MMCH authorities lodged a case with Kotwali Police Station after the incident. Police arrested Rabbi.
