Attacks on hospital staff to be shown zero tolerance

Good doctor-patient relationship requires sound medical system behind it, official says

The top health authority declared that zero tolerance will be shown for people who assault and injure medical personnel, after two doctors were severely injured on Tuesday.

A surgeon in Chongqing was stabbed several times in the face and back by a 19-year-old patient and two of his friends, while another doctor from Jiangxi province was beaten by a patient's family members after the patient died.
