Surgeon Suspended After Video of Assault on Patient During Surgery Goes Viral

The incident, which occurred in 2019, only came to light recently when it was shared by Dr. Ai Fen, who has a history of legal disputes with the hospital's parent company, Aier China.

A video of a surgeon punching an 82-year-old patient during an eye operation in a hospital in Guigang, China, has gone viral, sparking outrage.
The incident occurred in 2019 but only came to light recently when Dr. Ai Fen, a prominent Chinese doctor, shared the video on social media.
The hospital's parent company, Aier China, has suspended the surgeon and dismissed the CEO of the hospital.
The patient's son claims his mother is now blind in her left eye, though it is unclear whether this is due to the incident.
Dr. Ai Fen has been in a legal dispute with Aier China since 2019, claiming she nearly lost sight in one of her eyes due to a surgery at one of their hospitals.
