Another case of aggression against doctors occurred in Tashkent. Three residents of the capital brutally beat two doctors right in the hospital. One of the doctors lost consciousness and fell into a coma. A criminal case has been initiated on this fact.
The incident took place on July 27 around 07:20 in the emergency department of City Clinical Hospital No. 1. A 27-year-old man living in the Sergeli district was brought to the hospital accompanied by two friends. The patient was immediately examined by the on-duty traumatologist, who diagnosed him with numerous cuts on both forearms, chest, and the front wall of the abdomen, as well as hemorrhagic shock of the 2-3 degree.
The patient’s condition was assessed as severe, and he was given first aid, after which he was hospitalized in the microsurgery department. During the preparation for the operation, the patient began to behave aggressively, hit the microsurgeon in the face, and insulted him. Attempts to calm the patient were unsuccessful, and he began to brutally beat the doctor.
After this, the doctor called the internal affairs authorities to report the incident. Because of this, the patient’s friends attacked him again and beat him. They also attacked the on-duty surgeon who came to the operating room to perform the surgery. As a result, the surgeon lost consciousness and fell into a coma, after which he was hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
The initial medical examination revealed that the injured doctor had a closed head injury, a moderate brain contusion, a closed fracture of the left lateral wing of the 3rd lumbar vertebra, abrasions on the skin of the forehead, and a torn right lip corner. Thanks to the treatment provided, the patient’s condition somewhat improved, and he regained consciousness.
The condition of the second doctor is currently satisfactory, but his head injury and severe deterioration of his mental state require further treatment in the traumatology department.
The Ministry of Health has taken this incident under special control. Law enforcement agencies are conducting a pre-investigation check on this fact, and a criminal case has been initiated under Article 277 (hooliganism) of the Criminal Code. All three attackers have been detained.
