Video: Young doctor quits on first day, alleges patients were kept in ICU unnecessarily for profit: ‘Keep them for…’

A young doctor’s first day at a private hospital turned into a story that is now trending online. She resigned immediately, saying she could not work in a system where patient care seemed to take a backseat to profit. Her video has gone viral, prompting discussions across social media about ethics in healthcare and how some hospitals operate.

Allegations of unnecessary patient admissions

In her video, the doctor shared that she was asked to admit nearly every patient, even when it was not medically required. She also claimed that patients were sometimes kept in the Intensive Care Unit longer than necessary, apparently to increase hospital bills.

She further stated that critical decisions about admissions and treatments were reportedly controlled by a senior doctor, even in cases where hospitalization might not have been needed.

Ethics over salary

Disturbed by these practices, the young doctor chose to resign immediately. She said, “No salary or position is more important than patient safety and medical ethics.” Her decision has been widely praised online for putting patient welfare above personal gain.

Social media reaction

Her video quickly went viral. Many people applauded her courage and honesty. One user wrote, “You proved the true meaning of the oath, to protect the sick, not the ill-intentioned.”

Others expressed frustration at what they see as systemic issues in private healthcare. A comment read, “Sab chor hai, corrupted hai, pharma company se paisa khate hai.”

Some users also called for stricter oversight, saying, “Unethical practices in hospitals are on the rise and require immediate national advisory @MoHFW_INDIA.”

Need for ethical hospitals

The incident has sparked discussions about creating ethical alternatives in healthcare. One user noted, “There is space for an ethical hospital, possibly doing far better business than these profiteers.”

Others criticized the profit-driven approach in private hospitals. A user wrote, “Hypocrite Oath is a hypocrisy! The biggest modern-day scam is healthcare. Most private hospitals chase mega profits at any cost; every doctor has targets. They even manipulate emotions, making patients feel guilty for not spending more.” Another comment added, “Most of them know how to instill fear and manipulate patients.”
