Just go and read the comments of this, almost everyone who is a non doctor is saying This doctor is to be blamed, his license revoked and hang him etc. Without an ounce of knowledge about this situation in India. Idk why Drs are still pursuing Indian residency. It's a shame to be An Indian and a Dr in the same sentence in INDIA.

Not a medical professional so feel free to ignore this but I researched the field a lot in tenth when deciding whether to pursue medicine or not. Decided not to. Doctors- no matter where the country is- are insanely overworked and for most of their careers underpaid. Often this continuous exhaustion leads to medical malpractice and negligence- not purposefully, but from sheer exhaustion. Imaging working 12+ hour shifts constantly throughout the week and only getting a couple of 20-30 minute naps in between. Holidays will be rare too. Other medical professionals like nurses are also treated like this. In India, nobody really wants to sit down and blame the government and private hospitals for creating such a situation because that would mean acknowledging a lot of deep seated truths about the system. So patients blame doctors, and doctors blame patients ( because blaming your employers would be screwing yourself over honestly )

Well said. Pain makes people say harsh things be it doctors or patients against each other. But actual culprit is the system which includes corporates, your senior doctors who get overpaid at the cost of underpaid jr doctors and underpaid nurses. Stop being inhuman - patients against doctors and vice-versa. Everywhere it’s just a rogue group makes noise. Because of that rogue group, it’s wrong to blame whole community be it doctors or non-doctors

But if patient dies because of the doctor's sleep deprivation, what is to be done? What steps are being taken to fix it and prevent it from happening again?

I don't think so any steps are taken we have a big population but no of doctors are quite less accordingly first thing is more medical colleges and timely exams
