The week that has gone by has been a very traumatising and painful one for the entire medical and para-medical fraternity of the country. I say this because of the two very serious incidents we saw of hoodlums attacking the very same hospitals and doctors who were treating COVID cases amid some very steep odds, simply because they failed in saving two of their patients. While one incident happened in distant Assam, the second one occurred much nearer home in Tarikere, a small town in Chikmagalur District. Both the attacks were murderous because of the extreme brutality that has gone into them.
