I went to #Islamabad #PIMS a day earlier and asked for rabies #vaccine, #rabies is a deadly virus and there's 100% chance a person will die if vaccination isn't administered on time. However, the person in the picture, at #PIMS's pharmacy,

told me very arrogantly to buy and administer the vaccine somewhere else. When I asked for his name, he hesitated, but when I insisted, he said I'm the director and there is no one you can go to and complain.

I requested him that I can afford the vaccine but what about those who may not afford the same, and that I am a citizen of #Pakistan and I am aware of my rights, thus let me lodge a formal complaint to the relevant department so the problem may soon be resolved.

He refused, in a very unprofessional and rude manner. I captured his pictures and told him that now I must go to the head of this hospital, and lodge a formal complaint against you and your staff as well. When I started walking,

he must have told his security staff in the meanwhile, to snatch my phone and delete the pictures. The staff was so unprofessional, they #attacked me from behind, there were three, or four persons maybe, and when I did not let them take my phone they hit me a few times

and unlawfully restrained me. I told my friend, who took me there, to call "15" @ICT_Police emergency helpline. There was one police officer present on duty, at the hospital, who did nothing and watched all this happen, like some spectator watching something amusing.

When the #Police arrived, after we made the call at "15", they met the hospital staff like friends meet, and talked with each another pleasantly, laughing. They did not bother to ask me, my friend, who made the call, or the witnesses present, a thing about the incident.

But rather the police and the hospital staff tried to convince me, on many occasions, and asked me to "let it go". I told them if you don't want to perform your legal obligations, I'll be nothing but obliged to submit an application under s. 22-A, CrPC, 1998.

After having a conversation in private with the police, hospital's security staff approached me and said "if you let it go, we'll administer you the #vaccination". I was shocked when I heard this. They had the vaccines available all that time — I can think of no reason

why a government #hospital, based in the Capital city, funded by our taxes, would refuse to administer a vaccine for such a deadly virus. If the #vaccine isn't administered on time, and once clinical signs appear, the #disease is nearly always fatal.
...

When I told them that I need the vaccine as soon as possible, he told the other guy standing beside him to take me to the #Emergency. They administered the vaccine. It seemed like they were trying to bribe me with something I had the right to be administered with.

After hearing this, the police said there is no need to lodge an FIR now. When I repeatedly told you must, it's your legal obligation to do so. The officer laughed at me and replied, "the problem has been resolved so there is nothing we can do".
...

I told him, that "the #security staff did attack me violently and even hit me a few times, they #unlawfully restrained me, in this instance, you have a clear legal obligation to lodge an FIR". He refused, again and again.
...

Even when all the people standing beside us, who witnessed the #incident, requested him to file the #report, he refused still. After after a few moments the police left. I presume the hospital's administration is rotten to the core.

The hospital staff is either negligently or intentionally making patients suffer. This must stop. I've collected contact details of many witnesses and other aggrieved citizens. They all had been victim of gross negligent and cruel behaviour of the hospital staff.
...
15/n

I have pictures of all those who attacked me and the person who gave the order. What they must do to those who may not speak for themselves, because of the fear that they might refuse to treat them. Many people there told that the staff is very cruel and rude.
...

There was a guy who told me that the staff threatened him, and told him that they will remove his mother from the ventilator and send her back home to die, he cried while tell me his story. All that because he asked the staff to visit his mother, she was in extreme pain.

Alas, this is the situation of the so called educated ones. We think education changes people, it makes us more humane, but not them I suppose. It was so saddening, their helplessness and suffering, not because of some disease
...

but due to the staff's obnoxious and cruel behaviour. I saw and heard about so much suffering and pain, all caused by those who ought to save us from the same.
...

The #corrupt leaders and the #rich, the corrupt #government staff at large, can afford treatments abroad, but where would the #poor majority go when the hospital staff at the #capital perform their duties so negligently and irresponsibly?
...
20/n

I was vaccinated because I spoke for myself but what about those who might have died because of such gross negligent behaviour?
Is this the Pakistan we want to build? If this happens at a hospital, what must be the situation of other institutions?
Speak for your self!
