Flirting with a Female Patient Who Had an X-ray Taken

[Asia Economy Reporter Nahana] A radiologic technologist working at a hospital in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, caused controversy by sending a text message saying "Let's date" to a woman who had an X-ray taken.

According to the hospital on the 5th, radiologic technologist A was confirmed to have sent a text message saying "Let's date" to a woman in her 20s, B, who came last month to have a chest X-ray taken.

A sent a message to B, who visited the hospital for medical treatment and had a chest X-ray taken, introducing himself as "the person who took the X-ray," and said, "I saw the number written on the chart and contacted you wondering if you have a boyfriend."

After receiving the message, B reported to the hospital, believing that the radiologic technologist had extracted her personal information such as her phone number.

In response, the hospital blocked the radiologic technologist's access to medical records and stated that they plan to take personnel action after investigation.

This is not the first time a hospital official has used personal information to contact a patient privately. In August last year, a doctor at a general hospital in Daejeon was fired after personally contacting a health screening patient who visited for a checkup, expressing interest in her.
