When the patient's family picked up the murder weapon and rushed into the hospital, who would have thought that a fresh life would come to an abrupt end. An ordinary day, an ordinary Dr. Li Sheng, an extraordinary tragedy ended. He collapsed in a pool of blood from his patients, like countless busy days and nights that he had saved his dying life countless times. But this time, who will save him? When the murderer's blade stabs him in the chest, stabs into the dignity of the white coat, where is the conscience of this era? With the frequent incidents of violent injuries to doctors, can we still enjoy the careful diagnosis and treatment of doctors with peace of mind?
Dr. Li Sheng! When they saw the news of his murder, I believe that countless people could not hide their indignation and sadness in their hearts. A good doctor who saved lives and helped the wounded, a good young man with ideals and beliefs, was buried under the murderous knife of the ignorant. What is it that makes the patient's family so mad that they raise a butcher's knife? What is it that makes a doctor suffer this disaster in what should be the safest office? I would like to ask aloud: Who will pay for Dr. Li Sheng's misfortune?
In the final analysis, the root cause of violence against doctors is the whole society. At present, too many people use doctors as punching bags, and once the treatment results are not satisfactory, they will anger the doctor or even fight him. This is not only the lack of the rule of law, but also a reflection of people's lack of respect for life, science, and doctors. Maybe they simply don't know how hard the doctors work and how much effort they put in. One minute on stage, ten years off stage, they want to exchange their health and family happiness for the recovery of more people. With such professionalism, but in exchange for violence, where is the conscience?
Looking at the frequent incidents of wounded doctors, all of them reflect the weakness of the rule of law and the shortcomings of the medical system. In the face of medical troubles, the security system of hospitals is often weak, the police often lack law enforcement, and the judicial deterrence is often insufficient. In the face of many problems such as difficult and expensive medical treatment, the people's grievances have nowhere to vent, and the conflict between doctors and patients cannot be resolved. So, when disappointment and anger gather to a certain extent, a fuse can detonate violent bloodshed. How did the doctor-patient relationship, which is supposed to be mutually beneficial and symbiotic, come to the point of life and death?
What should we do? The pressing task at the moment is to improve laws and regulations and intensify the crackdown. For any behavior that endangers the personal safety of doctors, we must achieve "zero tolerance", "severe crackdown" and "heavy punishment". Hospitals should establish emergency plans, and the government and the police should form a linkage mechanism to stop medical troubles as soon as they are discovered. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the mediation mechanism for medical disputes, build a communication platform for doctors and patients, and let rational dialogue replace fists and feet.
But we must not stop at slogans and appeals. Actions speak louder than words, and the safety of medical staff needs to be implemented in every hospital, every clinic, and every medical worker. It is necessary to form a complete system of systems, from minor verbal insults to serious violent attacks, there must be accurate identification, timely stopping, and effective punishment. When violent offenders pay an unbearable price, they can deter potential perpetrators.
Dr. Li Sheng, with his blood and life, sounded the alarm for us. Do we still turn a blind eye and become insensitive? When will we be able to give due respect and protection to those angels in white who save lives? I sincerely hope that in the call of "severely punishing violence and respecting doctors", every doctor will straighten his waist and move forward without fear.
