Kuwaiti Citizen Fined KD2,000 For Insulting A Doctor
The Misdemeanor Court has imposed a fine of KD2,000 on a Kuwaiti citizen for insulting a doctor at Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital, reports Al- Seyassah daily. The Public Prosecution had earlier charged the citizen with insulting the victim, who works as an emergency doctor at Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital, as he grabbed the stethoscope that the doctor was wearing around her neck.
Case files indicate that when the doctor examined the accused, the latter asked if he could speak to her alone. Then, he told her that he took a dose of crystal meth. She then reassured him that his condition was stable, but she was surprised when he shouted angrily: “Shut up!” He also assaulted her and grabbed her stethoscope.
Attorney Elaf Al-Saleh, representative of the Kuwait Medical Society, submitted a surveillance camera recording of the incident, in addition to the statements of witnesses. After the issuance of the ruling, Al-Saleh pointed out “it is unfortunate that the assault on doctors is no longer an anomaly, as it has become a widespread phenomenon, up to the point that many of the victims requested transfer to other workplaces after they were insulted and assaulted in front of their colleagues.” She promised to continue filing such cases and demand compensation for damages.
