An Omsk woman reportedly left a local doctor concussed after slamming a computer keyboard against his noggin over a medical dispute.
The 47-year-old woman was reportedly prescribed an ultrasound at a clinic in the Siberian city and was told to visit a local hospital to undergo the procedure, the SuperOmsk news outlet reported on Friday.
The woman reportedly believed she needed a different kind of ultrasound, so she crossed out the prescription and filled in directions for another procedure before visiting the hospital.
Although the doctor at the hospital tried to explain that the other ultrasound was impossible, the woman was not satisfied. After throwing the doctor’s prescription clipboard at his head, she then picked up his computer keyboard and slammed it against his cranium for good measure.
The woman will have to attend treatment and rehabilitation, SuperOmsk reports. The doctor, for his part, intends to sue.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
