Healthcare reforms remedy to hospital violence

On Tuesday, a cancer patient poured gasoline over a doctor and set him on fire at the No 1 Hospital Affiliated to the Guangxi Medical University in Nanning in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. The doctor survived, but suffered severe burns. This is the 12th violent attack against a doctor in 20 days in China. Comments:

Doctors deserve society's respect and understanding, they are also ordinary workers, and their current high-pressure environment, huge workload, and low salaries should be understood by society.
