Saudi wife told to strip down by fake X-ray technician

 A Saudi woman who went into the X-ray section at a public hospital in the conservative Gulf Kingdom was shocked when the technician asked her to strip off. She was shocked again to learn that he is supposed to be a grill worker.

After refusing his request, the woman went straight to her husband and told him about the “rude” Arab technician, prompting him to go straight to police.

“The husband has also filed a court case against the technician and the hospital…he is accusing the man of forcing his wife to take her clothes off when she is supposed to have a chest X-ray,” the Saudi Arabic language Ajel newspaper said in a report from the central town of Onaiza.

“But the big surprise that emerged later was that the X-ray technician is registered in his visa as a grill restaurant worker…the husband wondered how the hospital gave this man a job.”

The paper said the unnamed technician had been suspended pending the completion of investigation ahead of court hearings.
