東區醫院、瑪麗、明愛、威爾斯、瑪嘉烈、北區及屯門醫院等多區的醫護人員今午在醫院發起示威，抗議警方行動中使用過分武力、防暴警察持長槍進入屯門醫院及譴責男警進入產房。有醫護人員認為從事非緊急服務的醫護人員可考慮罷工。
東區醫院數十名穿上醫院制服的醫護人員，舉起「香港警察企圖謀殺香港市民」、「醫護救人 為何不能」等標語，部分人戴上黑色口罩，並戴上黑絲帶。參與行動的護士表示，警方昨日在遊行示威中使用的「所謂最低武力」，已導致有示威者右眼嚴重受傷，認為她可能永久傷殘，「這些不是最低武力」。又稱曾有警員在急症室中，以不同手段阻礙救援工作，舉例有同事目擊警員衝入診症室。
護士指出，救援工作是爭分奪秒，「延遲了一秒就是一秒」，希望警員不要再阻礙救援工作，特別是現場救援，稱現場很多急救員也遭警員濫捕和傷害。另一護士亦覺得警察涉濫捕，認為警察「自稱是專業，但一點也不專業」。
Medical staff from the Eastern Hospital, Queen Mary, Caritas, Prince of Wales, Princess Margaret, Northern District and Tuen Mun Hospitals staged a demonstration in their hospitals this afternoon to protest against excessive use of force in police operations, riot police entering Tun Mun Hospital with rifles, and condemned male police entering the delivery room. Some health care workers in non-emergency services believe that they may consider work strikes.
At Eastern Hospital in Chaiwan, dozens of medical staff wearing uniforms in the hospital raised the slogan “Hong Kong Police attempted to murder the people of Hong Kong” and “Why can’t the medical carers save people?” Some people wear black masks and wear black ribbons. The nurses involved in the operation said that the “so-called minimum force” used by the police during the protests had caused serious damage to the right eye of the demonstrators and believed that the victim might be permanently disabled. “These are not the minimum force.” It is also said that police officers in the accident and emergency department have blocked the rescue work by different means. For example, some colleagues witnessed the police officers rushing into the consultation room.
The nurse pointed out that the rescue work is a race against time. “A second used is a second delay.” I hope that the police officers will not hinder the rescue work, especially the on-site rescue. Many first-aiders on the scene are also caught and injured by police officers. Another nurse also felt that the police were involved in the arrest and thought that the police “professed to be professional but not professional at all.”
