An Indian doctor has been caught in viral footage be@ting up a patient with breathing problems after he asked to be spoken to with respect.

The doctor at Indira Ghandi Medical College in Shimla (IGMC), northern India, was accused of physically ass@ulting the patient during the altercation on Monday.

According to Mail Online, the victim, Arjun Panwar, had visited the hospital for medical tests after experiencing breathing difficulties.

Mr Panwar said the doctor started speaking to him in a rude manner without any provocation, before an argument broke out when he complained about the behavior.

According to the patient, the doctor then started hitting him.

‘I had just undergone a bronchoscopy and was struggling to breathe. When I asked for oxygen, the doctor questioned my admission status,’ Mr Panwar said.

‘I requested that he speak to me with respect, but he became confrontational.

‘When I asked if he spoke to his family in such a manner, he claimed I was getting “personal” and began hitting me,’ he added.

Following the incident, a large crowd gathered at the hospital demanding action against the accused doctor.

The Shimla IGMC hospital administration has now set up a three-member inquiry committee.

Dr Rahul Rao, Medical Superintendent of IGMC Shimla, said the committee is investigating the matter and will submit its report imminently, adding that a police report has also been filed against the doctor.

Jake Paul has confirmed he underwent surgery for a broken jaw following his knockout loss to former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on Friday night in Miami.

The much-hyped bout, streamed on Netflix, ended in the sixth round after Joshua landed a crushing right hand that sent Paul crashing to the canvas at the Kaseya Center. The punch effectively ended the fight and, as later confirmed, broke Paul’s jaw, New York Post reported.

Speaking immediately after the fight, Paul admitted he believed his jaw was broken. Hours later, he took to social media to confirm he had gone under the knife.

“Just got out of surgery. Everything went smooth,” Paul wrote. “Lots of pain and stiffness. I have to eat liquids for seven days. Two titanium plates on each side. Some teeth removed.”

He also thanked the medical team at Miami University Hospital for their care.

Despite the outcome, Paul managed to last longer than many expected. He evaded Joshua for the first four rounds and even landed a few shots before tiring badly in the fifth round, where he was knocked down twice. Two more knockdowns followed in the sixth, forcing the referee to stop the contest.

The loss leaves Paul facing a recovery period away from the ring, while Joshua moves on with renewed momentum after the win.
