According to the allegations, Chief Medical Officer Ayşegül Alkan determined that nurses Merve Şahiner Çalışkan and Ayşe Yetkin were not at their workplaces during routine ward checks. The chief physician Alkan asked two nurses, whom he scolded in a room where other unit directors were also present, to write 500 times on the A-4 paper as punishment for leaving the office: ‘I’m stupid, I went to another service.
According to the report by Salim Uzun from the daily Hürriyet, the nurses who opposed the request argued that they would not accept such punishment and that the official disciplinary regulations should be applied to them because they left their jobs. However, when this proposal was not accepted by Chief Medical Officer Alkan, Çalışkan and Yetkin wrote 500 times in the A-4 newspaper: “I am stupid, I went to another service”. Çalışkan and Yetkin signed the 7-page text with the note “It was written at the insistence of the Chief Physician.”
OPEN INVESTIGATION
Two nurses complained about the chief doctor to the Provincial Health Directorate, claiming that they were exposed to harassment. The Antalya Provincial Health Directorate launched a comprehensive investigation into the allegations.
He took his human dignity under his feet
Nurse Merve Şahiner Çalışkan said: “What we went through is really sad. Ayşe Yetkin said: “I have been a health worker for 25 years. Yes, I quit my post. But the penalty for this is determined by the regulations. The punishment that we have been given means trampling on human dignity. We wanted the official process to go through, but the chief physician insisted that we write those statements 500 times. Not only we, but also many members of the hospital staff, witnessed this insistence. We wrote those texts but this time they did not allow them to be recorded. “
Explaining the details of the incident at the hospital, Health-Sen Antalya Branch President Sinan Kuluöztürk said: “Unfortunately, what happened is true. Our fellow nurses wanted to process these texts in the document register. Of course, the chief physician was against this. Our friends also preferred the judicial route over the mobbing they experienced. We also ask all authorized institutions for an explanation. Because that punishment cannot be accepted anywhere, ”he said. “I have never witnessed such punishment before,” Kuluöztürk said, saying: “No manager will accept this punishment, which destroys motivation and tramples on personal rights at a time when healthcare professionals need morals. Our friends may have made mistakes. But this error cannot be punished with that method. “We will follow the process to the end,” he said.
