Viral Video: Bull strolls into UP hospital, feasts on papers, staff nowhere in sight
The clip, filmed at a Primary Health Centre in the district, captures the animal walking straight up to the doctor's chair, munching on papers from the desk. The hospital seems empty, with no staff around. The person behind the camera used the footage to highlight the sorry state of the healthcare system, where even cattle can wander unchecked.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav also posted the video on X, adding a Hindi caption that loosely translates to: 'The Chief Minister reached Chaupaya for a surprise inspection of the Health Fair, but the doctor hadn't even arrived. Someone asked, 'Bhaiya, when will the doctor come?' The reply was, 'Looks like the doctor will only come when the government changes.''
मुख्यमंत्री आरोग्य मेले का औचक निरीक्षण करने पहुँचा चौपाया लेकिन पता चला कि डॉक्टर ही नहीं आया।
किसी ने पूछा 'भइया डॉक्टर कब आएगा?'
तो किसी ने जवाब दिया, 'लगता है अब जब सरकार बदलेगी डॉक्टर तभी आएगा।' pic.twitter.com/Koe3EmE3Ui

Despite the uproar, the district health department has stayed quiet. The chief medical officer of Bahraich, reportedly aware of the incident, has neither addressed it publicly nor taken any visible action against the staff.
The episode has fueled online outrage, with users calling it a glaring example of negligence and lack of accountability. 'After Digital India, now Digital Doctor, a new era,' one person wrote. Another user said, 'Wow, I had a blast watching the video. It's been a while since I heard Bull News.'
It's not an isolated case either. Earlier this month in Bareilly, two bulls locked horns near a hospital, smashing a tea stall in seconds.

Rajasthan Teacher Dies As Hospital Delays Treatment Over Aadhaar
Last Updated: A school lecturer died at the Rajiv Gandhi General Hospital in Alwar, Rajasthan, after staff allegedly delayed treatment demanding an Aadhaar card A shocking case of alleged medical negligence has sparked outrage in Rajasthan after a government school lecturer died at Rajiv Gandhi General Hospital's trauma ward in Alwar. The family of the victim has accused hospital staff of delaying treatment by insisting on an Aadhaar card before administering any medical aid. The deceased has been identified as Umesh Yadav, a Hindi lecturer posted at Government Gandhi School, Mahal Chowk. A resident of Padisal, Yadav had just returned from appearing in the Patwari recruitment examination when tragedy struck. His car reportedly met with an accident near Naurangabad, leaving him critically injured. Relatives rushed him to the district hospital's trauma ward, but what they allege happened next has ignited anger across the community. Instead of attending to the patient immediately, hospital staff allegedly demanded Yadav's Aadhaar card before starting treatment. According to the family, they pleaded with the doctors to begin emergency care first and complete formalities later, but the staff remained adamant. Within moments, Yadav succumbed to his injuries. The incident triggered chaos outside the hospital, with grieving relatives staging a protest and accusing the administration of gross negligence. 'If the doctors had begun treatment without delay, Umesh could have been saved," the family claimed, demanding a high-level probe and strict action against those responsible. Yadav's sudden death has cast a pall of grief over his family and colleagues. He was preparing for his daughter's future and had been seen as a dedicated teacher in his community. The silence of the hospital administration, which has yet to issue an official statement, has only deepened public anger. view comments First Published: August 18, 2025, 17:11 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

UGC bans open and distance learning in healthcare, allied courses from current academic year
MUMBAI: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed all higher education institutions (HEIs) to stop offering programmes in healthcare and allied disciplines through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) or online mode from the July-August 2025 academic session. The order follows the recommendations of the 24th Distance Education Bureau Working Group meeting that was held on April 22 this year and was approved at the UGC's 592nd meeting on July 23. Representative pic (Getty Images/iStockphoto) The ban applies to courses under the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) Act, 2021. These include Psychology, Microbiology, Food and Nutrition Science, Biotechnology, Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics. According to the circular, institutions that already have the recognition to run these programmes will see it withdrawn by UGC. Colleges and universities have also been instructed not to admit students to such programmes from the 2025-26 academic session onwards. In cases where a programme offers multiple specialisations, such as a bachelor's degree in arts with majors in English, Hindi, History, Political Science, Philosophy, Sociology or Psychology, only the healthcare-related specialisation will be discontinued. Other non-healthcare subjects under the same degree will remain unaffected. The decision comes amid concerns over quality standards in professional training. Former Professor and head of the Psychology Department of the University of Mumbai, Satishchandra, said, 'The demand for psychology has gone up in recent years, leading to many private and public institutions offering it. But in several parts of the country, they have failed to maintain the quality of education. This decision will help check such practices.' Supporting the move, Vivek Belhekar, head of the Psychology Department at the MU, said, 'This is a welcome step that will benefit society at large. Clinical psychology requires rigorous practical training. As per the guidelines of the Rehabilitation Council of India, we need a 2:1 student-teacher ratio. Such training is not possible in the distance learning mode.' However, he also pointed to the challenge of limited seats available across the country. 'Considering the rising demand for clinical psychology, the UGC or the apex body must come up with a solution that allows public universities to expand opportunities, possibly through a structured online model,' he added.

HC directs dept to form new inspection team to tackle absenteeism, vacancies at SCB
1 2 Cuttack: Orissa high court has directed the health and family welfare department to take concrete and time-bound measures to tackle absenteeism, staff vacancies and ensure accountability among medical personnel in SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack. Taking note of persistent complaints that several doctors are skipping hospital duties to attend private clinics, a division bench comprising Justices S K Sahoo and V Narasingh on Thursday asked the department to form a new inspection team. "This team, which will include officials not below the rank of deputy secretary, is tasked with conducting surprise checks and submitting sealed reports periodically to the court," the bench specified in the order after taking note of an affidavit filed by Dr Goutam Kumar Satpathy, superintendent of SCB. The court has scheduled the next hearing for Sept 18, when a further compliance report is expected to be submitted. Appearing in virtual mode, Satpathy informed the court about the steps being taken to instil discipline and improve staff attendance. According to the affidavit dated Aug 12, the hospital has implemented the Aadhaar-enabled biometric attendance system to track the entry and exit of doctors and staff. The affidavit also cited a standard operating procedure (SOP) issued on Oct 5, 2015, which recommends the formation of an internal vigilance committee to monitor conduct across departments including OPDs, surgical wards, casualty units and diagnostic centres. Following the SOP, the hospital authorities have constituted three dedicated teams to carry out surprise inspections at least twice a week across OPDs, IPDs, ICUs and OTs. These teams report their findings directly to the medical superintendent for further action. The affidavit also highlighted staff shortage at SCB, revealing that 87 faculty posts are vacant. They comprised 15 professors, 33 associate professors, 16 assistant professors, and 23 senior residents or tutors. As per hospital norms, OPD doctors are expected to maintain duty hours from 9am to 5pm, with a one-hour lunch break. Emergency and inpatient services continue round-the-clock, including on public holidays. The regional diagnostic centre also functions 24x7 under the supervision of pathology, biochemistry and radiology departments, the affidavit stated.
