Arguments and Reactions
The nursing officer, on the other hand, responded by stating that the house surgeon was not her superior and that she was not obliged to address him as “Sir.” The house surgeon then countered by asserting his authority, claiming that the nursing officer worked under his supervision. The video also reveals discussions about the administration of an injection to a patient, with questions arising about who administered it and whether it was done correctly.
Need for Investigation
Given the severity of the incident, an investigation is necessary to determine who was responsible for any potential errors in administering the injection. The incident has sparked widespread debate about the appropriateness of the behavior exhibited by both the nursing officer and the doctors in such a reputable hospital.
Broader Questions
This incident has raised broader questions about the priorities within the hospital setting. Should doctors insist on being addressed as “Sir,” or should the focus remain on patient care? The public is questioning whether the emphasis should be on titles and formalities or on the well-being of the patients.
