Man attacks nurses in surgery fallout

Source: Xinhua | September 24, 2013, Tuesday | Print Edition

Three nurses, including a pregnant woman, were injured in a knife attack following a plastic surgery dispute in central China’s Hunan Province yesterday.

A man, aged about 20, attacked the nurses around 9:30am at the plastic surgery department of the Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Academy of Chinese Medicine in Changsha as he believed the beard implant surgery he received there four months ago was a failure, according to a statement issued by the hospital.

The victims’ injuries, mostly to the head and face, are not life threatening, the statement added.

According to the hospital, the man visited his doctor yesterday and complained that he bore a red mark near his lips and was not satisfied with the surgery result.

Although the doctor replied that the mark was just due to follicle inflammation and that it took about six months to a year for the surgery to take effect, the aggrieved man went on a rampage when the doctor left to check other patients, the statement said.

Police are hunting for the suspect.

The National Health and Family Planning Commission of China condemned the man’s act via its official microblogging account on weibo.com yesterday.

“We hope the police, with the help of the hospital, can arrest the criminal as soon as possible, and take effective measures to ensure the safety of medical practitioners,” it said.
