Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss, who is a doctor, examined patients at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi on Wednesday and warned protesting medicos to end their strike or face termination of service.
The minister walked into the OPD at AIIMS around 9.30 am and examined the patients for about 30 minutes as a "symbolic gesture".
