AU: Doctor touched transsexual patient

A DOCTOR has been found guilty of performing an indecent act on a suicidal transsexual patient.

Sulieman Hamid, 53, of Melbourne, touched the cognitively-impaired patient on her breasts and lips while he treated her for a slashed wrist in a cubicle at the Sunshine Hospital emergency department in June 2007.

The court was earlier told the patient propositioned the doctor while he was treating her.

A jury in the Victorian County Court today found that the touching did not constitute the more serious charge of indecent assault.
