All You Need To Know About Al Maragha Doctor Incident With The Governor
A few days ago, a video of a doctor being scolded by Sohag’s Governor went viral on social media platforms, leading to a public outcry.
In the video, a doctor was seen being heavily reprimanded by the governor for presumably denying a child treatment without an entry ticket- which is mandatory for treatment in Egyptian public hospitals.
The video depicted the governor yelling “What are you doing at your desk? you will be referred to investigation. You have no conscience or feelings.”
Quickly after the video went viral, social media users came to the doctor’s aid, arguing that she followed proper procedures and did nothing wrong.
