Times of India | 10 July 2025
Kolkata: Trinamool Congress on Wednesday condemned the conduct of Uttarpara MLA and actor Kanchan Mullick after he misbehaved with a senior doctor at the School of Tropical Medicine (STM).
Mullick lost his temper while waiting for professor Mehebubar Rahman, head of tropical medicine, who was attending to a child in the OPD. Mullick had accompanied his wife and mother-in-law for a BP check and adjustment of diabetes medication".
He started instructing me even as I was checking the discharge papers of the patient and other reports. Even as I tried to convince him that I needed to go through some investigative report to adjust the medicine dosage, he started asking what my name was and mocking me. I have never come across any patient party misbehaving with me like this in my entire career," Rahman told TOI.
STM director Subhasish Kamal Guha said Rahman's complaint had been forwarded to Swasthya Bhawan. "We will act per the health department's guidance," he added.
Trinamool spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said, "This is unfortunate and undesirable. The doctor was with another patient. The person (MLA) should have some patience to wait for a few minutes. Why this rush in a hospital? This is not right".
