If you are a physician: "Although the fall of a 2-year-old child from a height was entirely due to the parents' fault, it is unacceptable for the patient's relatives to impose this responsibility on our colleague and to use violence. PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY, which is one of the branches most exposed to violence in our country, is the least preferred department in TUS and has vacant positions. We ask our esteemed Minister, Mr. @drfahrettinkoca Which physician would want to become a Pediatrician in order to face million-dollar malpractice lawsuits and violence from patients' relatives, as well as an intense residency period? We wish our colleague who was subjected to violence in Samsun to get well soon and would like to state that we, as the Hekimsen family, will provide all kinds of legal support.”
Izmir Medical Chamber: “Our colleague at Samsun EAH Emergency Department, Dr. Ahmet Kurt's nose was broken by the patient's relatives. We wish our colleague to get well soon and say "Enough is Enough!" against violence in healthcare and terrorism in healthcare. we say!”
