S. will never forget this phone call.

"Dad called me from the hospital, said he had been beaten to death, and they blew him up. I froze, I did not understand what had happened to me and who was the coward, who hit a disabled and sick person, when it became clear to me that the person who attacked him so wildly was the hospital security guard. "I was out of breath at the hospital. I saw black in my eyes."

These harsh words are uttered by the deceased's son, who passed away four months later. The court will now have to determine whether the security guard's assault was the one that actually caused his death, following a civil claim for damages filed against him, Clalit Health - Beilinson Medical Center.

The patient was rushed to the emergency room, groaning in pain and after a long testing saga was released to his home with a recommendation to continue treatment for his eye injury in the relevant ward.

About a month later, he underwent vascular surgery and was later referred to a rehabilitative hospital.

Several days passed, and during a test he was diagnosed with a decrease in heart function and a sharp and dangerous increase in blood pressure.

Not long after that he passed away and the police filed an indictment against the security guard.

The grieving family sought the opinion of a lung specialist regarding the cause of death.

In his detailed opinion, Prof. Fruchter wrote that "the deceased's difficult respiratory condition secondary to diaphragmatic paralysis played a crucial role in his death."

The family even turned to another specialist, this time from the vascular field, who checked the medical record and also found a connection to the events.
