TABUK: A senior dentist at a Tabuk hospital is to serve 15 days in prison for insulting and verbally abusing colleagues in a work meeting. The resident dentist and head of his department at a major Tabuk hospital prompted the ire of fellow staff in an official meeting a year ago which led to three of them taking a complaint to the District Court. The defendant denied the charges in numerous hearings at the court and claimed the complaint was motivated by enmity on the part of his staff who objected to regulations he introduced at the department. The judge ruled, however, that sufficient evidence existed to show he had verbally abused the three plaintiffs and sentenced him to 15 days in prison, five days for each of the plaintiffs he was convicted of insulting.
