Intern at Seoul University Hospital involved in 'Patient and Colleague Sexual Harassment' Returns After 3-Month Suspension
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] An intern at a university hospital in the Seoul area, who was suspended for three months for sexually harassing female patients and colleagues, has recently returned to work, sparking controversy.
According to the medical community on the 31st, Intern A at a certain hospital in Seoul was suspended for three months last September during the obstetrics and gynecology training process for repeatedly sexually harassing patients and nurses.
It is known that A touched specific parts of a female patient's body who was waiting under anesthesia before surgery. However, the details of the sexual assault were not confirmed and thus were not reflected in the disciplinary decision.
A reportedly returned to the hospital earlier this year after completing the three-month suspension, citing reasons such as "potential issues during face-to-face consultations with female patients."
