(Zhejiang—Nov. 12, 2013) Three doctors were stabbed, one fatally, at the First People’s Hospital of Wenling in China’s coastal Zhejiang on Oct. 25 by a man who was unhappy with the results of his surgery.

This man’s coat reads:
“If you want to make
money, do not be a
medical student. If you
are afraid to die, do not
be a clinic doctor.”

On Oct. 31, many hospitals in Hangzhou, the provincial capital, broke out in spontaneous mourning of Wang Yunjie, the doctor who was killed. Wang was the chief physician in the ENT department.

Many healthcare workers let their frustration be known when they gathered in the streets shouting slogans such as “against violence” and “give me back my dignity.” Based on signs in the crowd, the medical community seeks understanding and respect.

The government dispatched riot police in response to the crowd.

  1. I don't advocate violence against anyone, but it does not surprise me that the medical professionals are becoming targets given that many (if not most) engage in forced abortions, sterilizations, and other forced measures against women and families. They harm life rather than uphold it. I'm sure there are some good ones, but they'd have to get around these inhumane govt mandated procedures to follow moral conscience—and I imagine many who are in high places in the medical profession were able to climb the ladder without doing something evil to their patients at some point or another.
