BEIRUT: Hospital emergency departments have been mired in violence and a dentist was killed in his clinic in a week that saw violent crime rise in Lebanon.
Violence has not been limited to medical workers, with a child kidnapped from his mother and organized armed gangs running riot in various regions.

Doctors have claimed that several of the security incidents relate to rising hospital bills.
