A 42-year-old man was outraged when he was jailed last week for causing trouble at Perth Royal Infirmary.
Robert Garrick sought help from medical staff at the hospital’s accident and emergency department after being assaulted last year but ended up lashing out at them after he was asked to stop swearing.
Fiscal depute Elizabeth Hodgson told Perth Sheriff Court last Wednesday Garrick started being “disruptive” as nurses attempted to treat a head injury inflicted on him during the assault and they asked him to move to a waiting area.
