The Ismailia governorate in Egypt witnessed a strange incident of bullying, and the tragedy of a young doctor who was tried by her neighbors who tried to expel her, because she works in a hospital in the governorate because of fear of infection with the emerging corona virus «Covid-19».
In the details, Dr. Dina Magdy, at the Ismailia Fever Hospital, was bullied by her neighbors, who accused her of spreading the new Corona virus due to her work and diagnosing those suspected of contracting the virus, which prompted her to file a police report against her harassment.
The doctor, Dina Magdy, published a video on her Facebook page, in which she said that she was exposed to a number of her neighbors and asked her to the police, and accused her of hiding the case of Corona in her apartment, and that they feared themselves from the disease.
The doctor confirmed that she is doing her job receiving the cases that enter the hospital to know the extent of her injury or not, and that she decided to reside in her aunt's apartment to get away from her family during her work period to ensure that they are not injured, and she works at the times specified for her taking all necessary precautions and precautions.
The doctor said that after 5 days of work inside the Fever Hospital, she was surprised by the neighbors and the security of the building in which she lives in the city of Ismailia.
The doctor confirmed that she did not hesitate for a moment to request the assistance of the police, and she called the police help, as a report of the incident was released, according to Egyptian newspapers on Wednesday.
The doctor demanded that she and her colleagues be protected from bullying and an appreciation of the role they play in these difficult circumstances, while social networking sites were fueled by advocacy campaigns for the young doctor, according to several Egyptian newspapers.
The Syndicate of Ismaili Doctors, Dr. Said El-Sherbiny, said that the syndicate is in solidarity with Dr. Dina Magdy and follows up with the police report against those who tried to outrun her, denouncing what he did “an irresponsible few of her neighbors, and their lack of appreciation for the great role it plays in combating the virus and endangering its life to danger.” He emphasized that the dignity of doctors is one of the most important goals of the union, especially that the doctor is helping to treat the Corona virus, which is one of the soldiers of the White Army and the first blockade wall in this difficult period.
For his part, member of the General Union of Doctors, Dr. Osama Abdel-Hay, commented on the Ismaili doctor’s complaint of bullying, saying that this incident was unfortunate and indicated that some people were exaggeratingly ignorant. He added during a phone call to the program "Public Opinion", which is broadcast on the "TEN" channel, that not necessarily all diet workers are inside the Corona Virus Screening Committee.
For her part, Deputy Amal Rizkallah, a member of Parliament from the Ismailia Governorate, indicated that what happened to the doctor from some people is totally unacceptable and unacceptable behavior, especially in the circumstances the country is going through and in light of the sacrifices that doctors make themselves to contribute to limiting the spread and prevention of the disease .
