The outpouring of grief and outrage of medical fraternity over the murder a young house surgeon, Vandana Das, while on duty continued on Thursday too, with medical students and doctors staying away from work and taking to the streets.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) had called for the continuation of doctors’ strike on Thursday also, as the enraged medical fraternity was in no mood to settle for just reassurances from the government.
With the Kerala Government Medical College Teachers’ Association and Kerala Government Medical Officers’ Association joining the strike call, doctors stayed away from work for the second day at all private and public hospitals, including medical college hospitals, in the State.
