All the hospital staff involved are obviously drunk and should be interdicted and sacked!

Look like these staff trained by the SLPP does not look professional at all including the Dr.

Typical SL attitude of looking at things. Dragging politics even when they get constipated.

Some folks act as they have witnessed this incident first-hand and passing judgement as to who is responsible. Amusing and way to go!

Even if the visitors were at fault, the manner the hospital staff behaved is unacceptable- period. They should have called the police to seek assistance for Harassment. Btw, there is no denying and obvious the hospital goons were drunk whilst on duty. They need to be sacked and serve their prison sentence in a hospital prison as attendants and cleaners only to be useful.

This is why I order to maintain standards, in all departments and services, there should be two states in one country.

The UNP thugs have history of making destruction on every sector.

Typical SL way of looking at things. Dragging politics even when you get constipated. Ha, ha,ha.

Sri Lankan people think that they know everything and, doctors and hospital staff should take action based on their requirements under their guidance. These peoples do not obey any rules and regulations of the hospital nor have any idea about how the healthcare system works. If found guilty, having access to free healthcare must be banned for life!
