2012年5月份哈医大出现医院暴力的时候，世界著名的医学杂志Lancet发表专文呼吁--结束中国医院暴力！现在虽过一年，仍然需要回顾，一年虽过，中国医院暴力不仅未改善，反而更加残酷。
China's doctors are in crisis. In recent years, they have faced increasing threats to their personal safety at work. Doctors have been abused, injured, and even murdered by patients or relatives of patients in hospitals and clinics across the country. In a recent tragic case, described in a letter published online today in The Lancet, a male intern at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University was stabbed to death by a patient.
China's doctors are in crisis. In recent years, they have faced increasing threats to their personal safety at work. Doctors have been abused, injured, and even murdered by patients or relatives of patients in hospitals and clinics across the country. In a recent tragic case, described in a letter published online today in The Lancet, a male intern at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University was stabbed to death by a patient.
Responding
to this crisis, the Chinese Government announced last week that it is
increasing police vigilance inside hospitals. People who disrupt the
daily operation of hospitals, carry dangerous materials, or threaten
medical staff will be held legally accountable, according to a joint
statement by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Public Security.
Although turning hospitals into high-security institutions may be a
necessary step, it is a short-term solution to this disturbing and
desperate situation.
There are many
possible reasons why Chinese doctors are under threat. These causes are
systemic—poor investment in the health system and in training and paying
doctors, which can lead to medical errors, corruption, and poor
communication between health professionals and patients. Other factors
are societal, and include negative media reports about doctors, poor
public understanding of medicine, unrealistic patient expectations about
treatments, and catastrophic out-of-pocket health-care expenses for
familes.
Whatever underlies the violence,
the impact on medicine in China is of great concern. As Li Jie, a
medical student at China's Ningbo University, writes in his letter, the
new generation of Chinese doctors feels lost: “they do not know whether
to continue to study medicine or not, and how to face the complex and
uneasy relationship with their patients.”
Doctors
in China were once revered, as they still are in many other Asian
countries. China needs to make medicine an attractive, respected,
rewarding, and safe profession again, to protect the doctors of today
and those of tomorrow, for the benefit of patients. The first step
should be a government inquiry to examine the causes of the violence and
find ways to end it.
