Dr
Mohd Osman Abdul Hamid dari Hospital Pusrawi yang memeriksa Mohd Saiful
Bukhari Azlan, muncul hari ini untuk mempertahankan hasil
pemeriksaannya yang tidak menemui sebarang bukti yang menunjukkan Mohd
Saiful telah diliwat.
Dr Osman telah mengambil cuti lebih sebulan lalu selepas kebocoran laporan
perubatannya ke atas Saiful itu, pada 28 Julai lalu.Doktor
tersebut, yang ditemani peguamnya - M Puravelan dan Yusri Kamaruddin -
mengadakan sidang akhbar di Majlis Peguam pada jam 12 tengahari ini.
Beliau mengesahkan bahawa akuan berkanunnya, yang disiarkan oleh Malaysia Today
memang ditandatanganinya."Saya tidak terbabit dalam politik, saya akan sentiasa
bercakap benar," kata Dr Osman yang kelihatan agak gementar.
Dalam
akuan bersumpahnya, Dr Osman mempertahankan laporan perubatannya itu di
mana beliau tidak menemui sebarang kesan liwat selepas memeriksa dubur
Saiful.
Saiful telah mendakwa dia telah diliwat oleh Penasihat PKR, Datuk Seri Anwar
Ibrahim pada 26 Jun lalu.
Anwar kemudiannya didakwa di mahkamah atas tuduhan tersebut beberapa minggu
kemudiannya.
Dr Osman berkata, beliau mengadakan sidang akhbar hari ini untuk membersihkan
namanya.
Beliau
yang membaca kenyataannya berkata, beliau mengambil cuti kerana beliau
merasa tertekan ekoran siasatan polis terhadap pemeriksaan perubatannya
ke atas Saiful.
Dr Osman juga berkata, beliau tidak tahu bagaimana laporan perubatannya ke atas
Saiful diketahui umum.
Ditanya sama ada beliau masih lagi berkhidmat dengan Pusrawi, Dr Osman berkata,
beliau akan kembali bertugas secepat mungkin.
Dr Osman juga menafikan dakwaan bahawa beliau bimbang terhadap keselamatan
dirinya.Di bawah adalah kenyataan akhbar Dr Osman yang dibacanya pagi tadi
(terjemahan).
Saya adalah doktor yang mengesahkan akuan berkanun bertarikh 1 Ogos 2008.
Saya telah membaca akuan berkanun yang telah disiarkan di laman web Malaysia
Today.
Saya mengesahkan bahawa ia adalah salinan asli akuan berkanun saya.
Saya kini mengesahkan bahawa kandungan akuan berkanun itu adalah benar.
Saya
telah pergi bercuti. Saya merasa amat tertekan. Saya kini telah kembali
ke Malaysia. Terdapat banyak kenyataan media di Malaysia yang dibuat
oleh pelbagai individu.
Sesetengah daripada kenyataan tersebut
telah memberi gambaran buruk terhadap profesyen dan diri saya. Saya
ingin memberi jaminan bahawa saya hanyalah menjalankan tugas saya
sebagai seorang doktor. Saya tidak terbabit dalam politik. Saya
sentiasa akan bercakap benar.
Saya tidak pernah pada bila-bila
masa pun melanggar etika profesional saya. Saya sentiasa mengamalkan
kerahsian antara doktor dan pesakit.

Berita asal
Pusrawi's Dr Osman appears in public
Beh Lih Yi | Sep 4, 08 12:10pm
Dr
Mohd Osman Abdul Hamid, the Puswari Hospital doctor who examined Mohd
Saiful Bukhari Azlan, appeared in public today to stand by his claim
that he found no evidence of sodomy on the alleged victim.MCPXOsman
took leave from his hospital more than one month ago after his medical
report on Saiful was mysteriously leaked on July 28.
The
doctor, who was accompanied by his lawyers - M Puravelan and Yusri
Kamarudin - called a press conference at the Bar Council auditorium at
12 noon today.
He confirmed that the statutory declaration, which was published in the
Malaysia Today website was indeed signed by him."I
am not involved in politics. I will always tell the truth," said the
soft-spoken bespectacled doctor who sounded slightly nervous. He also expressed
anger over the leaking of the medical report (left) which landed him in the
spotlight. In the statutory declaration, Osman stood by the medical report
where he did not find any sign of sodomy after examining Saiful's anus.
Saiful,
23, has claimed that he was sodomised by his 61-year-old ex-boss,
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, on June 26. Anwar was subsequently
charged with the offence six weeks later.
Osman said that he was calling the press conference "to clear his name.Reading
from a prepared statement, Osman said he went on leave as he came under
pressure following a police investigation into his medical check-up on
Saiful.
He also said that he did not know how his medical report on Saiful became
public.
To a question if he was still in employment with Pusrawi, Osman said he would
be returning to work "as soon as possible".
He also dismissed claims that he was worried for his safety.Below is Osman's
press statement:
"I am the doctor who affirmed the statutory declaration dated Aug 1, 2008.I
have had the chance to read the statutory declaration that has been put up on
the website of Malaysia Today.
I confirm that it is a true copy of my statutory declaration. I will
now confirm that the contents of the statutory declaration is correct.
I
had gone on leave. There was a lot of pressure on me. I am now back in
Malaysia. There has been a lot of media statements in Malaysia made by
various individuals.
Some of these statements have
put me in a bad light both professionally and as a person. Please be
assured that I had merely done my job as a doctor. I am not involved in
politics. I will always tell the truth.
I have never at any time breached my professional ethics. I have always
practised doctor-patient confidentiality."Below is the transcript from the
question-and-answer session during the 15-minute press conference:
Where were you during this period (that you went 'missing')?
I was away, I was on holiday.
Did you go back to Burma?
(All) I can say (is) I was away.
You
said you respect doctor-patient confidentiality. Why then did you make
the statutory declaration and release the medical report?
There
were a lot of statements in the Malaysian papers, I just want to
clarify these things, I wanted to clear my name, that’s why I produced
the statutory declaration.
Why did you reveal the medical report in the first place?
No, I was not responsible (for the leaking of the) medical report.
Are you still with Pusrawi Hospital?
Yes, I think so, I am still on leave.
Did you receive any threats which forced you to leave the country?
There
is no threat but (due to) my experience after seeing the patient
(Saiful), I myself felt very depressed and shaken - that was why I
wanted to take leave. My hospital (then) advised me to take leave for a
while (and now) I am back here.
When are you going back to the hospital?
As soon as possible.
Do you know how Malaysia Today got hold of your statutory declaration?
I don’t know.
Do you know how the medical report was leaked?
No, I don’t. I have no idea.
Do you have anything extra to add apart from your press statement?
I am sad because my patient’s (medical record) was leaked from somewhere.
Are you angry?
Yes,
I am very angry but this is out of my hand, I am not holding the
patient’s folder all the time. If I am working as a doctor in my own
clinic, this (record) will be under my hand.
You went on leave on your own accord?
They advised me to take leave because of my ‘experience’ (feeling afraid).
Do you still stand by the contents of the statutory declaration?
Yes, I confirm.
You maintain that the content is correct?
Yes.
Were you and your family in danger at anytime?
Not in danger.
Were you harassed by the police?
No, they never detained me.
Will you participate in any police investigation?
Puravalen:
Our instruction is that he will cooperate with the police in the
investigation. Yusri has also been interviewed by the police in respect
of his professional relationship with Dr Osman.
When did you come back to Malaysia?
Recently - a few days ago.
Which police took your statement?
>From Bukit Aman (federal police headquarters).
You said you were depressed and shaken, why?
I
wasn’t shaken. I was depressed after the police investigation, three
times (of questioning), because I am not familiar and used to (dealing
with) the police. I am a doctor, I have no experience in that kind of
things. I didn’t even know that the patient (was Saiful), I didn’t know
the name.
Do you have any idea whether you would be subpoenaed as a witness in Anwar's
trial?
Puravalen:
Going on general circumstances, he would be a critical component for
the chain of evidence, so it would be nothing unexpected if he gives
evidence in court.
Are you still staying at the same place or have you moved somewhere else?
I am staying in Kuala Lumpur.
