A Twitter user Rights of Medicos said: “A single case of violence brings down the morale of hundreds of doctors. It's a matter of shame that 75 percent of doctors in India have to face at least violence of some form. People really need to learn to show some gratitude towards their saviors. #StopViolenceAgainstDoctors.”
