Orderly jailed for molesting patient

A hospital worker was sentenced in Kowloon City Court yesterday to six months in jail for indecent assault. A female patient at Queen Elizabeth Hospital accused Poon Sai-lun, 49, of touching her breasts and lifting up her gown after he pushed her into the X-ray room on a stretcher. Deputy Magistrate Ko Wai-hung said it was a serious offence and a breach of trust. Poon was released on bail pending an appeal.
