Local politician in hot water after slapping nurse

Forty-nine year-old Lujhu Township (蘆竹) representative Wang Kui-fen (王貴芬) is in hot water after slapping a nurse at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou (林口), New Taipei City, Taiwan. According to the hospital, the nurse, surnamed Lee (李), was following hospital procedure when she refused to disclose the medical information of Wang's father in a phone conversation with Wang -- which sparked the incident. Wang then slapped Lee twice after she arrived in the hospital. The representative admitted the slaps after she was charged with assault.

Medical personnel in the country have shown their support with a signature drive that condemns violence in hospitals, a common occurrence in Taiwan. The Ministry of Health and Welfare said they are working on draft amendments to the Medical Care Act which would rule violence against medical personnel an indictable offense.
