After receiving assurances from the BMC and hospital administration, doctors at Juhu’s Cooper Hospital called off their strike on Monday and resumed duties. However, the shock of Saturday’s assault still lingers among the medical staff — especially for Dr Prashant Bhadke, one of the doctors attacked during the chaos. Recounting the ordeal, he told mid-day, that in all his years as a doctor, he has never faced something like this and wishes this is the last time any doctor has to go through such horror.
Describing the incident, Dr Bhadke said, “Around 12-12.15 am on Saturday, a 57-year-old woman, Sajeeda Shaikh, was brought in with severe breathlessness by her son Samir Abdul Jabbar Shaikh and a female relative. I was attending to other patients, but seeing her condition, I immediately began treating her while asking my interns to handle the rest.The patient was gasping, her temperature was very low, and there were no vitals. We started warming her hands and checking her pulse oximeter, but her oxygen levels and pulse were nearly gone. We shifted her to the emergency room within seconds.”
