Viet Duc Hospital student accused of molesting patient in X-ray room

Hanoi: A student at Viet Duc Hospital was accused by a patient's family of sexually harassing a 16-year-old girl while she was having an X-ray. The hospital confirmed "nothing happened" and invited the police to investigate.

On the morning of September 16, responding to VnExpress , a representative of Viet Duc Hospital said that they had asked this student to report the incident. The student was an intern at the hospital's Department of Diagnostic Imaging, not a technician, doctor or medical staff.

According to the student's report, on the evening of September 9, the 16-year-old patient was in a car accident and was taken to the hospital for an X-ray in room 103. There were 3 people in the room, including a technician (taking the X-ray behind a lead glass screen), an assistant student, and the patient.

During the X-ray, the practitioner assisted the patient in undressing for the scan. After the scan, the family outside loudly accused the practitioner of molesting the patient. Over the next few days, the practitioner received messages from the patient's family, so he reported to the hospital, claiming that "there was no molestation."

The hospital has provided information, exported camera data, and messages between the family and the student to the police. The hospital requests the police to verify, clarify the incident, and handle any violations.

On September 15, the police invited both sides to work. The students were present but the family and the patient did not come.

There has been no comment from the patient's family. However, on the evening of September 13, a social media account live-streamed a scene where a man claiming to be the patient's father went to Viet Duc Hospital to accuse a staff member in X-ray room 103 of touching the patient's private parts. The family was upset because their daughter was underage, had not received "proper handling", "not a single apology", and the student had turned off his phone so they could not be contacted.

At the end of August, a doctor at the Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital was also accused by a 21-year-old girl, a patient's relative, of suggesting "just for fun" that she provide cancer treatment drugs to her mother.
