Health Minister, K K Shylaja, suspended the woman yesterday after a video purportedly showing her behaving rudely with patients and bystanders, went viral.
The suspension is on the basis of a preliminary enquiry. After a detailed probe, further action will be taken, the minister said in a Facebook Post.
The Idukki District Medical Officer (DMO) has been asked to file his report on the incident.
"Government hospitals have to be totally patient-friendly.. Those creating hurdles in government's efforts to achieve this goal, will not be spared," she said.
The video has garnered 1,948,0833 views.
