In a shocking incident from Guigang, China, an 82-year-old woman undergoing eye surgery faced a horrifying assault when the surgeon allegedly punched her multiple times in the head. The distressing event, which unfolded in 2019, was recently brought to light after being shared on Chinese social media platforms.
The patient, speaking a local dialect, reportedly faced challenges understanding the surgeon’s warnings and was intolerant to the administered local anesthesia. Dr. Ai Fen, known for her role in alerting the public about the initial Wuhan Covid outbreak, shared the surveillance footage on Weibo, causing the video to go viral.
Here’s the video:
The hospital released a statement acknowledging the patient’s intolerance to anesthesia, citing surgical complications. The doctor, facing an emergency, reportedly treated the patient roughly to avoid potential infections in the sterile surgical area around the eyes.
The woman sustained bruises on her forehead, as reported by local authorities. The hospital issued an apology to the elderly patient and provided a compensation of 500 Yuan (₹5,800). However, the woman’s son claims she is now blind in the left eye, though there are no medical reports directly linking it to the incident.
