who graduated from the Madurai Government Medical College in 2018 has ended up begging on the streets with a group of transgenders as she was sacked from a hospital after undergoing sex change surgery.
The doctor was among a group of transgenders who were rounded up by police recently following complaints that they were begging on the streets in the city and troubling passersby.
Police inspector G Kavitha said she didn’t believe the doctor at first. “We checked her documents and spoke to doctors from Madurai Medical College, who confirmed the story. We were told that the doctor, who was a male in college, was brilliant in studies. It has been 20 days since I met her. She is now staying along with a transgender in the city,” she said.
The inspector said that after working in a city hospital as a male doctor for a year, she underwent a surgery and became a woman. As a result, she lost her job. She needs to get her certificates changed so that she can start working as a doctor again, Kavitha said. She also wants to do post-graduation, the inspector said.
“We are ready to help her as a student of our college. After he completed his house surgency, I heard he was undergoing sex reassignment surgery. After that I did not know what happened,” Dean of Madurai Medical College and Government Rajaji Hospital Dr J Sangumani told TOI.
The police and medical lab owner are setting up a clinic for the doctor in Madurai, They’ve already got her a stethoscope and a doctor’s coat. Police sources said the doctor was a bit upset with all the publicity after her photo in the new coat and with the stethoscope went viral on social media.
Inspector Kavitha said the doctor’s family had disowned her because she underwent sex change surgery.
