The Hospital Authority has condemned an assault on one of its medical staff at Kwong Wah Hospital and called on the public to be more accommodating over longer waiting times due to the winter flu season.
Reports said a 41-year-old woman pushed over a nurse in the hospital's accident and emergency department because she was unhappy at how long her 10-year-old son had been waiting to see a doctor.
The reports said the woman had arrived 30 minutes before the incident at around 3am, and the boy, who had a sore throat, was classified as a non-urgent case.
But the woman became restless and vented her anger at the nurse. The injured nurse was given treatment at the hospital and the police were called in.
The woman was arrested.
In a statement, the authority said it is highly concerned about the incident and will cooperate with the police in their investigation.
