Video shows Bhind district hospital doctor writing prescription with shoe on patient's bed

A video from the district hospital in Bhind has surfaced in which a doctor is seen placing his foot, shoe on, on a patient's bed while writing a prescription. The video is only four seconds long and is said to be from November 4.

The doctor seen in the video is Dr Vineet Gupta, who is posted at the hospital. He had gone to the ward to see patients. During this, he placed his foot, with the shoe on, on a patient's bed and wrote the medicine on the prescription slip in that position.

After the video surfaced, questions are being raised about the doctor's conduct. Patients admitted to a hospital are already struggling with illness and suffering. In such a situation, the doctor's behaviour is not being seen as appropriate in terms of respect for the patient.

Dr Gupta gave his explanation on the video. He said he had back pain during the ward visit and the shoe came to rest on the bed by mistake. He said it was a normal thing.

Dr Gupta said, "Serving patients is our duty, and we follow our duty." He also said that some people were after him and were trying to humiliate him by exposing small matters.

Dr Vineet Gupta has been in controversy before. Recently, a case of the death of a girl at his private hospital came to light. The administration then took action and had his private hospital shut down. With the video of his foot, shoe on, on a patient's bed in the district hospital now out, he is in the news again.
