[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] A controversy has erupted after an intern doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department of a large hospital in Seoul was accused of repeatedly touching the body parts of a sedated female patient, and it has been reported that the intern has been subjected to training cancellation. However, it is reported that the medical license has not been revoked.

According to the medical community on the 8th, the hospital held a medical staff education committee meeting on the previous day (the 7th) and decided to cancel the training of intern A.

Accordingly, the medical training that A has undergone at the hospital so far will be invalidated. However, since medical licenses are issued by the government, the decision regarding cancellation must be made by the government.

A is suspected of repeatedly touching the body parts of a patient waiting for surgery while working as an intern in the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department in April last year. At that time, A was disciplined with a three-month suspension by the hospital and returned to work, which caused controversy.

Meanwhile, on the 1st, a post urging the revocation of the intern's medical license was also posted on the Blue House National Petition Board.

The petitioner claimed in a petition titled "Intern in the obstetrics and gynecology department of a large hospital who committed perverted acts on a sedated patient - Petition for hospital disclosure and revocation of medical license for public safety" that "'A doctor who can legally see and touch a woman's perineum at any time' was the perpetrator. He is more dangerous and chilling than Jo Joo-bin."

He said, "Many women undergo obstetrics and gynecology examinations at least once a year. However, this intern brutally trampled on trust from the start," adding, "The perpetrator was a 'doctor' who works risking human lives at the hospital before being a man, yet he committed perverted acts to satisfy his desires in a place where everyone was present."

He continued, "If this doctor becomes a specialist, only victims will be produced. He will also move to other hospitals," and "Trainees with similarly abnormal mindsets will think, 'Is it okay to do that?'"

Then, the petitioner added, "This incident is not limited to women. There is no law that men should not suffer such things," and "To allow people to visit hospitals with peace of mind, for public safety and the right to know, I petition for hospital disclosure and the revocation of the perpetrator intern's medical license, and for disciplinary action to prevent re-acquisition."
