A Melbourne doctor has escaped jail time for indecently touching a suicidal transsexual patient.

Dr Sulieman Hamid, 53, touched the mentally-ill patient's breasts and neck while treating her for a slashed wrist in a cubicle at Sunshine Hospital's emergency department in June last year.

The patient, who cannot be named, had propositioned the doctor, asking him for sex.

Of course he got away with it.  *spit*

Quote from: Sydney Morning HeraldJudge McInerney said Hamid felt his behaviour had shamed his family.

He accepted that Hamid's career was in doubt and that he was currently suspended from practising as a doctor in Victoria.

Perhaps it would be better if he was suspended from practicing medicine in all of Australia, but I don't think Hamid has escaped without punishment.
