In fact, as early as December 24, the Chaoyang Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau issued a notice saying that a 55-year-old man Sun was holding a knife and wounding a female doctor at the Civil Aviation General Hospital, but at this time did not cause concern.

The murderer has now been arrested as a suspect of intentional homicide. Unfortunately, Dr. Yang died in the early morning of the 25th due to his injuries, which was invalid after rescue.

A former colleague who participated in the rescue sent a circle of friends: The murderer not only cut off Dr. Yang’s trachea, esophagus, carotid arteries, but even the cervical vertebrae, it was heartbroken!

On December 26, Cheng Yi, deputy director of the News Network Division of the Publicity Department of the National Health and Medical Commission, stated clearly that “this is not a doctor-patient dispute, but a very serious criminal offense!”

How much does it cost to train an excellent doctor like Yang Wen in China?

A calculation formula is given by netizens:

5 years undergraduate + 6 years master’s degree + 3 years of standardized training + main exam = (14 years) primary attendance + 5 years of work experience + several SCI papers + at least 2 provincial-level topics + exam passed (19 years) Deputy Chief Physician + 5 years of work experience + National Natural Science Project + several SCI papers with a score of 3 or more + smooth exams = (24 years) Chief Medical Officer Niubi

As a result, such a scarce medical talent was brutally killed by a patient’s family. He wiped out the public resources of tens of thousands of people, which is a violation of the whole society.

Medical trouble must be strict and strict

In December 2018, there was an incident in Japan where a Chinese patient stabbed a Japanese doctor. The TBS TV news program in Japan spent a period of 20 minutes discussing the topic of “medical trouble” in China.

TBS discusses such issues in the category of “professionals who experience harassment or violence in the workplace” and does not highlight the special nature of doctors ’professional status in such social issues.

Japanese hospitals not only have a complete medical violence resolution system, but also a specialized medical violence resolution agency (Japanese Nursing Association). Patients admitted must pay, must speak with a doctor, and the hospital has the right to refuse treatment.

Besides, before the patient performs high-risk surgery in Japan, the doctor will carefully explain and talk with the patient and family members for a long time, explaining the surgical risk in great detail before the operation. Even if there is a medical accident, it will be a social consensus to resolve it civilly in accordance with laws and regulations through insurance companies or the judiciary, and the country will be notified regularly, so there will be no blame for violence.

Contrary to the “medical trouble” of the Civil Aviation General Hospital, first of all, the family members of the patients were in arrears of medical bills, and the hospital did not expel them but paid for medical treatment. Secondly, after they arrived, they refused to be examined and instructed the doctor to suspend saline. Doctors were blamed. Finally, 95-year-old patients had vomiting and unconsciousness due to the sequelae of cerebral infarction at the time of admission. The hospital’s objective assessment of the risk did not accept the family members, but the hospital was unable to refuse admission.

The result is that the hospital needs to be responsible for all the uncertainty, but the doctor in charge is responsible for the tragedy.

In 2018, the Chinese Medical Doctors Association released the “White Paper on the Practice of Chinese Physicians”, which shows that in China, 66% of physicians have personally experienced doctor-patient conflicts, and 51% have experienced language violence. Patient experiences of violence.

According to industry insiders, in the 295 injuries and medical incidents reported by Chinese media in the past ten years (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), a total of 362 medical staff were injured, 99 medical staff were attacked by patients with knives, and at least 50 medical staff Workers lost their lives as a result of violent medical injuries.
