Abusive nurse: "Pulled peyos, slapped and beat his feet"

Suspicion: Nurse at Hadassah Ein Kerem abused a young Haredi man who was injured in a car accident.

It is suspected that the young man was attacked when he was wounded, lying in a cast on his bed in the hospital after surgery, by a male nurse who was drunk.

The young man of 21, fell off his bike last Friday and was wounded. He was taken to Hadassah Hospital where he was diagnosed with a fracture, and on Sunday was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, for fusion surgery.

The analysis took place on Sunday night, where they spliced the pieces in his ankle and knee.

About 24 hours after surgery, the patient called four of his friends, and begged them: "the nurse is beating me, choking me, come quickly!" His friend Chaim, says in a conversation with B'Chadrei Charedim that when the call was made he was at the Kottel, and did not understand the urgency of the matter, "I was sure he was influenced by the atmosphere in the hospital, but still I called a common friend, to travel with him. During the conversation it became clear that he and two additional friends also received a phone call, when the patient complains of assault by a nurse."
"We all went out urgently," Chaim said, "On the way there we already rang the police. When we got to his room he was alone there in agony, he told us," He killed me, " we thought the sedative disrupted his mind , but a patient from another room came and quietly to tell us that he witnessed the nurse hit him. "

According to the patient he was hit on the wounded leg, slapped him and pulled on his peyos. Despite cries of pain, no one came to his aid. " Even worse, there was a nurse who heard we are coming and took him aside where he removed his hospital gown , and gave him money for a taxi , it retroactively became clear to us."

"We immediately started to look for him, and we found him in the parking lot of the hospital with civilian clothes on his way to the exit. Police arrived a short time later, and he was detained at the entrance to the hospital. He told the police "I am Russian, I can I drink when I want ", perhaps explaining the circumstances of the serious attack, "says his friend Chaim.

Jerusalem police told B'Chadrei Charedim that the suspect in his investigation changed his version and denied drinking alcohol. Investigation persists, and the nurse was removed from the hospital for five days.

Spokeswoman for Hadassah Medical Center responded to a query by B'Chadrei Charedim and said that "last night revealed a dispute between a nurse in the orthopedic ward and the patient in the ward. Immediately upon discovery of the debate department staff suggested the nurse immediately leaves the department. At the Department Exits he was detained by police officials ordered to the scene and taken in for questioning.
Director of the hospital division head and director of orthopedic department are looking into the case personally. From this morning are already taking steps to make sure this does not repeat itself in the future. The nurse was banned for now from the hospital."
