A Melbourne doctor had just finished his shift in the paediatric emergency department when he was assaulted by four men who punched and kicked him. He was then marched at knifepoint to his car

A junior doctor who was brutally assaulted while leaving work at Sunshine Hospital has warned his colleagues to be safe after receiving what he said was a poor response from his employer, Western Health.

"I was hoping the Western Health team would have communicated to you on the horrible incident that happened to me on Tuesday night after I had finished by shift at Sunshine Paediatric ED to alert you all about safety issues at work," he wrote in a post addressed to his colleagues."However, they have not done anything yet and not contacted me to see how I am recovering."I am upset and angry what happened to me.

"Outside the operating hours of the carpark patrol service, an escort by our own security guards can also be requested."

Let me take a wild guess! 🙄 ah yes another Immigration success story...

You would think the journalist would have included the victims description of the four thugs. Every time its not mentioned do we assume they’re African gangs? Would you even bother describing them if the doc was female and got raped?

Things are not getting any better in Victoria. But hey we already know that and nothing is changing

The Law refuses to act to deter crime. These criminals are not afraid as they know they will be given chance to harm again and also police would be hesitant to stop them cause fear they get charged for murder now.

Gave no description of the offenders they must have been dark skinned or Middle Eastern

Doesn't the premier say there's no gangs or problems

Melbourne is not what it used to be 😞

FatherBob Sunshine. Enough said

FatherBob .. bloody disgraceful .. hospital staff parking & hospital security are an underfunded bad joke. in 41 years working in health, i have NEVER seen either issue adequately addressed ..

'Unsafe for staff, patients': Junior doctors preparing ultimatum for hospitalJunior doctors at Tasmania's largest hospital are putting their name to a scathing critique of safety and working conditions, claiming internal morale is so bad most want to leave, and warning no one will take their place due to its reputation. Patient flow is a problem because hospitals run at 100% capacity or greater. This means staff have to find beds they don’t have. This has been occurring for ages. Accountants closed wards because you can’t have half a ward empty, we called it surge capacity. Seriously, how do some of the these politicians and bureaucrats sleep at night? Tasmania is experiencing one of the most inept and incompetent governments for many years.
