Female Doctor caught on camera slapping patient’s father, sparks widespread outrage

A shocking video from Sola Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad has gone viral, showing a heated altercation between a female doctor and a patient’s father, identified as Ashik Haribhai Chavda. The incident, which took place on October 26, has triggered widespread outrage and demands for disciplinary action.

The Confrontation Caught on Camera

In the viral clip, the doctor dressed in a yellow kurta with a stethoscope around her neck can be seen arguing with Chavda, who had brought his daughter for treatment. The exchange reportedly began when Chavda started recording the interaction on his phone.

Visibly irritated, the doctor can be heard saying, “Put your mobile down.” When Chavda questions her, she abruptly steps forward and slaps him. A nearby security guard watches but does not immediately intervene.

Following the slap, the doctor refuses to treat the child, accusing Chavda of misbehaving. “I will not listen to anyone because you are misbehaving with me,” she asserts in the video.

Some users argued the video highlights rising insensitivity in healthcare, while others urged caution, noting that the clip might not capture the full context.
