ADNAN OKTAR: There is an ongoing trend among patient relatives of attacking [health care personnel], breaking the doors and windows of emergency units. They think it is a heroic act. These people are on their foot all day long, trying to do their jobs among patients covered in blood, among screaming, wailing people. They have a very difficult job. People should show some sympathy.

Better working conditions can be provided for doctors and health care personnel. They should be held in high regard everywhere. The penal sanctions for aggression against doctors should be more severe.
