A driver allegedly prescribed medicines to patients at Kanshi Ram Joint Hospital and Trauma Centre in Kanpur while the emergency medical officer, Dr Ramkesh, was attending a court hearing on Monday. A video of the incident went viral, showing the driver seated beside the doctor's chair, calling patients, asking about ailments, and writing prescriptions. He told some patients to buy medicines from outside.
Hospital chief medical superintendent Dr Piyush Mishra said he sought an explanation from Dr Ramkesh and warned that an FIR would be registered if an outsider was found prescribing again. Dr Ramkesh acknowledged the driver wrote a prescription and said he had removed him for acting on his own. Kanpur Chief Medical Officer Haridutt Nemi ordered an inquiry. The health department will examine duty arrangements and whether any other staff were involved.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same facts without editorial spin, making this a uniform straight-report story. The key question for the inquiry is how an unauthorised person gained access to the OPD and whether duty protocols during a doctor's absence were followed. The health department's findings, expected after the doctor's explanation is reviewed, will determine if systemic lapses or individual negligence led to the breach.
