Tahir D. claimed he was showing the doctor a new surgical
technique... 

In Didim district of Aydın province,  Tahir D. was nabbed by police for
drunk driving and brought to Didim State Hospital for a check-up.  
Upon arrival, Tahir D. head-butted Dr. Doğancan Kılıç for no reason,
opening a gash in the doctor's face that required five stitches to close. 

Nevertheless, Tahir D. was released (!) by the court after police 
processing.  The release drew widespread condemnation from health
workers, who have long been subjected to such attacks but the 
assailants are seldom punished.  















                                ..."Thanks but no thanks."


Dr. Kılıç commented that "I was going to examine him and told him
to come forward.  At that point, he head-butted me for no reason 
whatsoever."  Aydin provincial health chief  Dr. Osman Açıkgöz 
promised to pursue the matter and condemned the attack.  On social
media Prof. Dr. Şehsuvar Ertürk cursed those who turned a blind eye
to such assaults on health workers.
