Kanpur Hospital Orders Probe After Driver Allegedly Examines Patients, Prescribes Medicines
A video showing a man identified as the driver of emergency medical officer Ramkesh allegedly examining patients and prescribing medicines at Kanshi Ram Joint Hospital in Kanpur while the doctor attended a court hearing has prompted an official inquiry. Hospital authorities have formed a three-member committee to investigate how the driver accessed the OPD, the number of patients attended, and whether prescriptions were issued. The driver has been removed, and a complaint has been filed. The doctor has been asked for an explanation, with further action possible based on the inquiry.
