Doctor makes right call on mystery deaths

FUYANG, Anhui: After two decades on the job, pediatrician Liu Xiaolin is used to making decisions on the spot.

But the Anhui doctor had to make a tough call in late March when she reported the mysterious deaths of children with pneumonia symptoms to local health authorities.

She could have been blamed for barking up the wrong tree and hurting the image of Fuyang No 1 Hospital, one of the best in the city. But she felt she had no choice.
