A allegedly official medical prescription associated with SSKM Hospital, a premier government super-specialty medical institute in Kolkata, West Bengal, has sparked intense debate after going viral across social media platforms. The image of the document drew widespread attention due to two extraordinary lines written under the clinical diagnosis and doctor's advice sections. In the column designated for clinical notes, the slip reads 'Wife Bite, Last Night', indicating a medical record of a domestic incident from the previous evening. Immediately following this, in the section reserved for medical advice, the document states 'Keep Distance From Wife', instructing the patient to stay away from his spouse. The prescription also lists names of certain medications. Following the widespread circulation of this image, hospital authorities initiated an internal review to investigate the matter.
Details of the Viral OPD Ticket and Social Media Reactions
The viral image reportedly shows an Outpatient Department (OPD) ticket from the Physical Medicine Department at SSKM Hospital. The photo began circulating rapidly on social media platforms on Tuesday. Dates and additional administrative details visible on the prescription indicate that the OPD ticket was allegedly issued on the preceding Friday. The unusual medical notes quickly made the prescription a major topic of discussion online. As the image gained traction, several doctors associated with SSKM Hospital alerted the administration, seeking clarification on the origin of the document and attempting to identify the medical professional who purportedly authored the note.
Hospital Internal Verification Finds No Matching Records
Prompted by inquiries from medical staff and the growing public attention, the SSKM Hospital administration launched an immediate verification process to confirm the document's authenticity. Administrative officials examined the official OPD entry logs and patient registries for the Friday in question. However, the comprehensive search of the hospital's official records yielded no trace of any such prescription or patient registration. The complete absence of a matching record in the hospital's database has deepened the mystery surrounding the document, raising significant doubts about whether the viral image represents a genuine medical prescription issued by the hospital or a fabricated piece of content created for social media attention.
Police Complaint Filed at Bhabanipur Station for Cyber Investigation
To determine the exact origins of the document and address potential misrepresentation, the SSKM Hospital management lodged a formal complaint with the Bhabanipur Police Station in Kolkata. The hospital administration has specifically requested a cyber crime investigation to trace the digital trail of the image. Law enforcement officials will focus on identifying where the photograph originated, who manufactured or altered the prescription ticket, and which accounts were responsible for disseminating it online. As of now, the identity of any doctor who may have written the note remains unverified.
Investigation Continues Into Authenticity and Origin
The central question surrounding the incident remains whether the prescription marked with 'Wife Bite, Last Night' was genuinely issued at SSKM Hospital or if it is a manufactured photo designed to go viral. Because official OPD logs show no corresponding entry, hospital authorities stress that the document cannot be considered an authentic SSKM medical prescription at this stage. Police investigators, alongside cyber crime experts, are continuing their efforts to trace the initial uploader and ascertain the full facts behind the viral post.
