ITANAGAR, 2 Jun:<\/strong> A video of Itanagar Capital Region Deputy Commissioner Talo Potom berating a doctor at a vaccination centre has surfaced on social media.<\/p>\n Potom, who was recently inducted into the Indian Administrative Service and made the deputy commissioner of ICR scolded a medical officer at the urban primary health centre here after a couple was turned away from the centre for not registering online.<\/p>\n The doctor in the video is seen clarifying that she was not aware of the new guidelines which allowed walk-in registration but that did not stop the DC from humiliating the doctor.<\/p>\n Sources informed that the DC’s remark on the medical officer has created discontentment among the doctors and the health workers who are working round the clock on Covid-19 duty.<\/p>\n “Scolding a doctor in front of the media and public, when she clearly said she didn’t know the new guideline is very demoralising and disappointing,” said a senior doctor.<\/p>\n Another health worker said, “blaming our health department for last-minute changes in decision to cover 25,000 doses in three days is really uncalled for and such irrational orders will lead to a mad rush for vaccination and high chances of virus transmission.”<\/p>\n This daily could not get a reaction from the Deputy Commissioner Talo Potom, but he reportedly apologized to the health department’s principal secretary after being called out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ITANAGAR, 2 Jun: A video of Itanagar Capital Region Deputy Commissioner Talo Potom berating a doctor at a vaccination centre has surfaced on social media.
