Medical care a study in contrast

The local Party committee of Rong'an county in Liuzhou city, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, recently decided to reward medical professionals with 400,000 yuan ($61,862) for saving an official's life. Though it's natural to be thankful and to even reward a doctor/s for saving a person's life, medical professionals whose bounden duty is to provide the best medical treatment and to save lives anyway should not get special attention, says an article on eastday.com. Excerpts:

People have always known that officials get special medical care. But providing an official with super special medical treatment and rewarding medical professionals more than handsomely to save his life are something that people cannot digest.
