A doctor at a tertiary hospital in Shanxi province exposed himself to 500,000 yuan (RMB) in kickbacks and said he was willing to be thoroughly investigated. The hospital said the doctor had a “paranoid personality”. The incident triggered a public debate, many netizens sarcastically, to say the truth is “bigoted personality” it?

On April 9, a selfie video went viral on social media platforms. The video content shows that a self-proclaimed professional physician of “the largest tertiary hospital” in Datong, Shanxi Province, exposed himself as a doctor for more than ten years, when during this period, involved in receiving medical kickbacks, conservatively estimated at more than 500,000.

In the video, he pleaded to be thoroughly investigated and hoped he could change his ways. He said, “In the future, if I have the opportunity to continue practicing medicine, I hope to be clean, clean practice, stay away from kickbacks and refuse red packets. Thank you for your support!”

The man had previously posted videos through social media platforms several times, exposing himself to kickbacks.

In response, a land media called the hospital to ask about the situation. The hospital publicity department a minister surnamed Lin replied that “this matter has been tossed for several years”, the doctor “more radical”, the discipline inspection committee has intervened, the local public security also detained him.

However, the minister surnamed Lin did not explain why the Discipline Inspection Commission intervened in the incident and why the public security detained him. Some netizens questioned, “Intervention in the investigation why he told the truth?”

Some netizens also dispute the hospital’s so-called “bigoted personality”: “want to be upright, clean, is bigoted.” “I’m afraid the man said others do not want others to know, only to be considered a bigoted character!” “Leaders: you can shut up about it.” “In a world where lies are in control, the truth is guilty; in a bonanza where the bottom line is lost, conscience is guilty ……”

There are also comments from netizens saying, “This is an open secret now. In fact, doctors are very poor, this money is nothing more than ‘small money’, most of them are taken by middlemen, a few hospital leaders and hospitals, resulting in excessive medical treatment, against medical ethics, scolded is the ordinary doctor, the loss is the patient. Patients and doctors are both victims.”

Back in 2019, a doctor at Wanning City, Hainan Province’s Hele Central Health Center, also reported that he had taken kickbacks for prescribing drugs. The doctor said, “The reason I reported this matter was to purify the environment of the health center’s medical practice.”

He disclosed that some outpatient doctors with a large business volume, if a month to see the amount of 100,000 yuan of drugs prescribed, you can get 15,000 yuan of drug rebates, “many doctors in the hospital do this,” but the hospital management turned a blind eye to this situation, and even participate in it.
