That’s what it says in Caixin Online, a Chinese publication (English version). The piece asked the WHY question, and offers this answer:
Amid economic growth and technological advances made in recent years, some in society have high expectations for the medical services they deserve. In their view, a doctor should be able to cure a disease after a trip to the hospital.
What they do not understand is that medicine is still an extremely complex field. Many treatments involve risks, and failures are not necessarily the doctor’s fault. As one veteran doctor said: “Too many promises have been made regarding modern medical treatment of diseases.”
Sometimes doctors cannot live up to those expectations. To go one step further, the public’s lack of understanding regarding how the medical field operates has created a mistrust of medical professionals.
With all due respect, THIS SOUND LIKE TOTAL B.S. Diappointed people do not attack doctors with knives.
Angry people do. The question (albeit something Caixin might not want to answer) is — what ELSE are the Chinese doctor-attackers so freaking angry about?
