## Transcript

Don't have any safety. We don't have bouncers at night, especially when we do the night duties. We are alone. We have the very less staff. So it becomes very difficult sometimes. Anyone can walk up to us, threaten us, scream at us, punch at us, throw our BP apparatuses at our heads. It has happened multiple times. We. We watch watch watch. Das speed speed. Here, we don't have facilities to stay to sit. We don't have washroom differently for girls. Basically, we don't have doctors duty room different for females. It's a common everybody can use it. Patients use it. So we basically demand our own waiting rooms, rest rooms, at least.
