Angry mobs are attacking doctors at hospitals in India

In Mumbai several medical professionals have been subjected to attacks by citizens for the lack of timely treatment. These attacks and even strikes by workers are calling for better health care laws and security in emergency rooms and intensive care units. Some groups of doctors have gone as far as purchasing fire arms in order to protect themselves. Many of these groups would ideally like a nationwide law that demands better ways to curb workplace violence in health care facilities The issues these facilities face include delay of treatment, over-crowding, and accusations of negligence and abuse. Even though doctors are overworks (some working 18-20 hours a day), expectations of these facilities have risen and people all want the same treatment and quality. Doctors are frustrated that people are blaming them for the issues that have come about.
