Doctor's Safety In Danger


Excerpt from the Harian Metro :
"Doktor berusia 31 tahun yang diserang penjenayah dalam kejadian itu dibenarkan pulang selepas menerima rawatan kesan pergelutan dengan penyerangnya.
“Doktor berkenaan dapat mengecam wajah lelaki yang menyerang dan menyamun telefon bimbitnya,” katanya.
Dalam kejadian jam 7.15 pagi Jumaat lalu, doktor berkenaan yang bertugas syif malam terlena ketika berehat di bilik khas di hospital itu apabila suspek menyerang serta menumbuk mukanya dan kemudian melarikan telefon bimbitnya.
Pergelutan antara doktor wanita yang hamil tujuh bulan bersama penjenayah berkenaan didakwa tidak disedari pengawal bertugas.
Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, Kamal berkata, dalam tempoh enam bulan pertama tahun ini, hanya lima kes ragut dilaporkan berlaku di kawasan HKL berbanding 10 kes sama dilaporkan tahun lalu."

  • I am appaled at this case, not only is the average doctor under mental stress, but we are also open to assault, theft and physical abuse. After working in various GH's I know that the safety of doctors, especially female doctors are at risk. Our on call rooms are not safe, people walk in and out, our valuables are stolen, peeping toms are all over the place. However what is more worrying are the cases of molestations of doctors. I'm sure you haven't heard of many because all of these cases are swept under the carpet. Suddenly the victim will get whatever transfer they want, nothing is done as we await for a more sensational story to happen. What is your story?
