Mayo’s two guards injured in clash with police
2016-12-18
[DAWN] LAHORE: Two security guards of the Mayo Hospital
...not the one in Rochester Minnesota, nor the one in Jacksonville, Florida, nor the one in Phoenix, Arizona...
Not cargo cult hospital naming -- I looked it up. Ours are named after Dr. William W. Mayo, who settled in Rochester, MN in 1864 and opened up a medical practice, expanded subsequently by his sons; by one ranking it is the top hospital in the the United States.Theirs was named after the then-Viceroy of India, a certain 6th Earl of Mayo, in 1871; the attached university is Pakistan's most prestigious.
Ask any graduate of a Pakistani medical school -- theirs is the one that was most prestigious in all the land...
were maimed in a clash with coppers at the emergency ward of the infirmary in the wee hours of Saturday.

A duty doctor said the coppers had brought one of their injured colleagues to the ward. "The patient was being examined when around a dozen coppers reached there and started making calls to their colleagues, causing inconvenience to other patients as well. The guards were asked to take them away as according to the SOP, only one attendant is allowed with a patient at the emergency ward."

Shahid, one of the injured guards, said the coppers were politely asked to leave the ward but they got infuriated and pushed him.

Another guard came to the rescue of Shahid but the coppers attacked him with fists and kicks. Other guards deputed outside the emergency and nearby wards also reached there and a scuffle ensued.

The hospital administration, on being informed about the situation, acted swiftly and approached some senior police officer who asked the cops to leave the place.

Mayo Chief Executive Officer Prof Dr Asad Aslam said a complaint had been lodged against the coppers involved in the brawl.

An official at the Gowalmandi cop shoppe said some of the suspects had been taken into custody.

#2  Yeah, can't imagine the folks in Rochester acting this way.

Too flippin' cold this time of year for that.

#1  And then there's the Mayo Clinic in Mayo. Not far from Shands. Pay by pig is still an option.
