LAHORE: The Young Doctors Association got Out Patient Departments (OPDs) of government hospitals closed in Lahore on Saturday, yet again adding to the woes of patients travelling from distant places.
The sighs of patients and hardships faced by their caretakers did not seem to thaw the cold attitude of the so-called saviours of the society as they forced closure of the OPDs demanding rollback of Central Induction Policy.
These medics not just quit work at OPDs themselves, but also forced staffers handing check-up slips to patients out of the departments. The patients, who had come from far-flung areas and villages, kept groaning and crying for help, but to no avail.
The young doctors warned of shutting down the emergency wards if the government failed to meet their demands.
The relatives of the patients question as to what kind of messiahs they are, who have quit their occupation, and made protests and demonstrations their routine.
They demanded the government to restrict protests and demonstrations at hospitals.
