Jilted nurse stabs hospital boss with scalpel

TOKYO — A jilted nurse in Osaka has been arrested after stabbing her ex-lover – the hospital’s administrative head – with a scalpel after he talked about breaking up. The incident occurred on May 31. Osaka emergency services got a 119 call from a hospital saying that an employee had been stabbed. According to local media, the 59-year-old administrative head was stabbed in the stomach with a scalpel by a 48-year-old assistant nurse. The man told investigators he’d suggested breaking off their romance, which had lasted for some years, before he was stabbed. He was taken to another hospital for treatment. During questioning, the suspect said, “He’s been cold toward me recently, and I’ve been feeling ignored.” She was arrested on charges of attempted murder.
