King Edward Memorial Hospital in Mumbai concluded that remarks by an MBBS student in a viral comedy clip about a Rs 370 biryani were insensitive, according to an internal probe report released Friday.
The inquiry followed outrage over crowd-work video featuring Pranit More that mocked a patient’s food expenses during a hospital visit.
Dean officials recommended disciplinary counseling and public apology requirements rather than expulsion, citing academic stage and remorse expressed afterward.
Medical associations said humor targeting vulnerable patients undermines trust in public healthcare institutions.
More previously posted a video apology; the hospital said it will monitor compliance with professionalism codes during remaining clinical rotations.
