Is this outcome of all this really that the doctor’s licence was revoked and he was fired? Is that all? I’m pretty sure there are people in China on death sentence for lesser crimes than this one.
I have been to both private and public hospitals in China, I have to say the difference is huge and only the private were close to Western standards. I wish more people in China had access to this type of treatment, medical care, especially for children, should be a basic human right and I don’t know why these people, (like people all over the world no matter what nationality) have acted like such monsters. I don’t agree with capital punishment, but anyone who worked at this hospital when this was going on and deliberately did nothing to help, they should be severely punished for what they did and suffer like the parents of this poor child will do for the rest of their lives.

As a foreigner in Chinese territory… I must say that most Chinese people are warm and beautiful people. I respect your family values and your culture. It is a tragedy and my heart goes out to the mother and father. To lose ones baby through neglect is inconceivable.. It is the system that is at fault I believe. We are being pushed beyond our human capability.. I don’t know what else to say.

“Fuck you China!!!”

I think JUST maybe your message could have been more readworthy hadn’t you worn your “Racist Redneck” hat. Congrats on your ability to say Fuck as every 3rd word. Impressive.

You mother-fucking China doctors, FUCK ALL YOU WORTHLESS SCUMBAG MOTHERFUCKERS !!! YOU PUSSIES ARE ALL SICK IN THE HEAD. This is normally how FUCKING CHINA people (or should i say FUCKING ANIMALS) do business and take care of their own people: They don’t care !!! It’s been like that since the beginning of CHINA’S Fucking history, it’s not surprising. Let me tell you all something: That motherfucking doctor (Ching-chong wang chang, or whatever the fuck his name is) was just waiting to be bribed. YEAH ! That’s right, if that couple would’ve slipped a $1,000 bucks into his hands, he woulda jumped to give the baby the best service possible, but they probly didn’t have the cash to do it, so he gave the typical chinky attitude: “Nyah, who cares, it’s just another Chinese baby, it’s not mine. i need to go back playing games, THAT’S more important right now.” FUCKING CHINK !!!

being a foreign medical student studying in china,im not sure wat expect anymore in these hospitals…
one time i hear top notch doctors getting paid under the table to do surgeries but the interns end up doing them,to seeing fist fights in the inpatient departments…
i guess china isn’t the best place wen it comes to providing health care services.

Shocking story. Incomprehensible that staff in a children hospital is that rude and irresponsible. They should know and fully understand that especially in China children are very important. They should be fully aware of that and act accordingly. Its an extra important task when working in a children hospital.
Personally my biggest concern is that I get serious ill one day and end up in a Chinese public hospital. I have some experience myself and with family members and foreign friends. Its really not good (Both treatment as well as hygiene). But private hospitals are being build. Those in general are much better. But the private hospitals are too expensive for normal people. Think the government must advance to bring up the level of public hospitals to world levels.

It’s not just the healthcare system, many Chinese governmental workers or social services, schools… you name it are just simply irresponsible. They don’t give a shit.. only when tragedy like baby’s death happens, and only if those family members are persistent enough, educated enough to voice their injustice and get public and media behind then, then something happens. Some “unlucky” ones will get fired and go to jail. Work ethic is a hugh issue in China.

China’s healthcare system,, nice. I know that doctor’s aren’t miracle workers anywhere in the world and that inflammation that has been diagnosed and and treated it is kind of ok to tell the family to wait untill the morning. The huge thing here is that when the family reports trouble breathing noone took action. Breathingtrouble almost always suggest problems with the lungs, heart or brain which are all potentially lifethreatening. If the doctors and nurses aren’t able to realize this I am very glad they got fired -at least then they can’t endanger more lives.

And what is the deal with the security guards luring family members inside to beat them up? I can’t imagine anything more bizarre or morally bankrupt. I know 90 percent of these security people are country bumpkins without a highschool education – the remaining 10 are city bumpkins. I have seen some of them act like animals a couple of times (I take a guess that their choice of career was probably 1. police 2. Army 3. Chengguan but since they couldn’t do that private security was where they ended up). At the very LEAST you need some kind of responsible educated person in charge to control them and tell them what to do since they obviously haven’t got the mental capacity to deal with any problem apart from using brute force. And if some high ranking employee ordered them to attack the family that guy should be sent to jail for years.

The doctor’s license was revoked and he’s fired from the hospital. Related staffs and the head of the hospital were punished accordingly. A further inspection is going on to find out if anyone will be charged with criminal responsibility.
