Rebuild the trust

Conflicts between doctors and patients have again been in the media spotlight after two doctors were beaten up by family members of a patient who died in a hospital in Guangdong province and a man stabbed a doctor to death and wounded two others at a hospital in Zhejiang province. The high frequency of conflicts between doctors and patients or their family members means that the majority of doctors don't think it is a good career path for their children, says an article in Xi'an Evening News. Excerpts:

In recent years, whenever there is a report that doctors do not allow their children to follow in their footsteps, there always follows an in-depth analysis about the pros and cons of the medical system. This time the focus is on people's dissatisfaction with doctors.
