A hospital operating room perfusionist (person who operates the heart/lung machine during open heart surgeries) filed suit against the doctor for assault.
While no physical harm was done, assault in Indiana can be committed when a person acts with intent to cause harm to another person and the victim feels reasonably afraid that the contact will occur.
The victim in the case alleged that the doctor aggressively charged him “with clenched fists, piercing eyes, beet-red face, popping veins, and screaming and swearing at him.” The victim backed up against a wall, protecting his face with his hands in fear that the doctor would hit him.
