Meanwhile, some sections of the public have started demanding the expulsion of this ill-mannered doctor.

Sharing this video on Facebook, Nabajit Borthakur, an Assam journalist, wrote: "Himanta Biswa Sharma sir, strict yet peaceful punishment must be meted out to this person. Thanks to your efforts to uplift the health department, people are now flocking to Government health centres. But you should not let the entire department suffer for few such ill-mannered doctors. Such ill-behaved doctors should be de-registered."

It remains to be seen whether the Assam Finance Minister, Himanta Biswa, will take action against the rude Jorhat Medical doctor, but this incident presents a rather shocking picture of the healthcare personnel in Assam.
