Chennai doctor stabbed 7 times by son of cancer patient, Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin orders inquiry

In a harrowing incident, a Tamil Nadu government doctor was stabbed seven times at a Chennai hospital on Wednesday morning by a young man whose mother was being treated for cancer by the same doctor. The man was also a patient attender at that hospital.

Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian said that the doctor, an oncologist, is also a heart patient and suffered injuries to his upper chest and head. The Minister added that the doctor is in the Intensive Care Unit, or the ICU, but is in stable condition. Reportedly, a senior doctor said that his colleague has a pacemaker and was cut on his forehead and back, as well as behind his ear, and was also hit on his stomach. 

The young man who stabbed him has been arrested. The gruesome attack took place in the OPD, or outpatient department, of the Kalaignar Centenary Hospital in the city’s Guindy neighbourhood. The young man reportedly suspected the doctor had prescribed incorrect medication to his mother, a cancer patient.

The 26 years old accused tried to escape after stabbing the doctor but was caught and handed over to the police. He used a small knife hidden on his person, but insisted there was no security lapse, the Health Minister said. 

Meanwhile, Chief Minister MK Stalin has ordered an inquiry and promised medical aid, as well as providing assurances such an attack won’t happen again. Taking to X, the Chief Minister said that the service of doctors is laudable and it is their responsibility to ensure their safety.

He added that the selfless work of our government doctors in providing treatment to patients regardless of the time is immeasurable. He further assured that the government will take measures to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.

This incident once again questions the safety of healthcare workers at their workplace, an issue that shook the nation after the rape and murder of a doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital.
