Really difficult issue. However, I would support the doctor as its his duty to tell the truth to patient. One should remember that DR did not say those words on street or in public that the patient should feel offended. High time these patients also learn to respect Drs and their advice.

Absolutely true. The Doctor must tell the truth and the patient must respect it. Such patients should not be allowed to visit the doctors if they don't want to hear the truth about their health. The department that is investigating is also misusing the public money for a worthless cause.

I watched this interview yesterday night. To me, doctor seemed fair enough. As Mr. Rajendra rightly pointed out 'he did not make any comment in public' and thus no reputation of the patient lost. Plus doctor's behaviour and talking method was well known, that implies patient knew in advance to expect some hard talks. I personaly may not agree to one/two selective statements ... but then it was part of medicine ... and you don't expect medicines to be sweet ... Do you?

Doctor's liability
Hi all,
I would say doctor was just paying his duty and being honest with patient.
SACH HAMESHA KADWA HOTA HAI.. so its hard to digest.
I know my gyne just stoped practicing OB becuase of too much insurance and afraid of being sued. She is the best doctor I ever had.
also I would like to mention some doctors how careless they are and this gujrati doctor who was practicing in Portland, OR known as 'Doctor of Death' because he killed 14 patients just because of his carelessness.
He run to India and practicing well there
.
So, really depends on what kind of attitude doctor has for patients.

Having been in this profession for long time, I know many stories of Drs and patients. Drs in India can be very rough at times with unreasonable or even reasonable patients. Here are two incidents I wish to mention;
1. My wife was a gynaecologist and had extensive experience in dealing with female patients who were often accompnied by their mother-in-laws. Most of the time these MILs will start telling the problem of their DIL and will not let them speak. My wife used to be very hard with them all and often used to kick them bluntly out of chamber so that she can talk to patient directly. We used to laugh a lot when my wife used to ask the M.I.L if she was pregnant of the her D.I.L...
I remeber quite a few of patients of my wife who used to say that if they go by her tone, they would never visit her. However they were getting relief only because of her treatment, so they had no option but to visit her.
2. There was one retired army Dr in Shamli very blunt but extremely competent. Often young ladies used to keep quite and their M.I.L used to give history. He used to kick them out saying that he does not treat " Be-bolte dhan ( Danggar)" and she can take her D.I.L to some vet for treatment....hahahah...
There are so many hilarious stories and one can go on for ever...

The one bit of information I did not gather was the exact wording and tone used (possibly to allow for a sensational headline). There is a big difference between "You need to lose weight for your health" and "you are a fatso." I think all of us know the difference. If a doctor crosses the boundary of professional behavior and compromise their integrity with unethical treatment, they do need some training and slap on the wrist, no matter how accurate their assessment may be.
In a democracy the rights of the individual are always stressed. However, there is definitely some "drag" on the system when frivolous accusations occur. Not every form of government is perfect. Hopefully the authorities in this case came to an appropriate decision given the facts. Comes with the territory when the pursuit of liberty is protected by law.
