A doctor was seriously injured in a medical assault incident at a Guangzhou hospital.
On September 22nd, reports surfaced of a doctor assault at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. China Newsweek reporters learned from multiple sources that the incident occurred that morning and involved a chief orthopedic physician surnamed Wang and a student who was accompanying him. Dr. Wang was rescued and is out of danger. The student's injuries were relatively minor.
Zhang Xiao, a doctor at the hospital, participated in some of Dr. Wang's rescue efforts. He told China Newsweek that Dr. Wang suffered multiple wounds and was "severely injured." The assailant has been apprehended. At noon on the 22nd, a reporter logged into the mini-app of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and found that Dr. Wang's appointments were currently unavailable. The "Expert Introduction" section of the orthopedics department on the 6th floor of the hospital indicated that Dr. Wang's appointments were available on Monday mornings, Thursday mornings, and Sunday afternoons.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, China Newsweek observed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine that the orthopedics department on the 6th floor was open for business as usual. Several patients were waiting in the lobby, and doctors were seeing patients as normal. No blockade was observed. Entry to the outpatient building required security checks, and multiple security personnel were on duty at the hospital entrances and exits.
Multiple sources told China Newsweek that Dr. Wang is friendly. Baidu Health reports that Dr. Wang has a patient rating of 5.0 and has published 18,000 pieces of popular science content. Dr. Wang maintains medical education accounts on multiple social media platforms, with the most recent video on his video account being posted on September 21st.
On the evening of the 22nd, China Newsweek called the Baiyun District Branch of the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, the Sanyuanli Police Station, the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, and the Guangzhou Medical Association, but no one answered the phone as of press time. Reportedly, media outlets had previously called the Baiyun District Health Bureau office, where staff stated that the bureau's Medical Administration Section was handling the matter and that anyone seeking information regarding a medical dispute should contact the section. The section responded that they needed to go through necessary procedures before being interviewed. A staff member at the Sanyuanli Police Station responded that while there had indeed been an injury, they were "unable to disclose" whether it was related to the medical dispute, and that the matter would be handled in accordance with the law.
According to the official website of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Dr. Wang was born in Shandong in April 1971. He is a doctoral supervisor and professor with over 30 years of medical experience. He is the first postdoctoral fellow in Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics in Guangdong Province and currently serves as the Director of the National Key Orthopedics Laboratory at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. He studied at the Department of Orthopedics at the University of Southampton General Hospital in the UK and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. In 2014, he received the HSS-CHINA exchange qualification for joint surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, the world's top orthopedic institution, where he studied under several world-renowned hip and knee experts. He has presided over and participated in seven National Natural Science Foundation of China projects and over 40 other provincial and ministerial-level projects. He has contributed to the publication of over 150 papers and has supervised seven doctoral students and 23 master's students.
Public information indicates that Dr. Wang has performed over 1,500 joint replacements and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as femoral head necrosis and hip dysplasia. He is particularly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of femoral head necrosis, hip and knee osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. He has in-depth research in basic disciplines such as osteonecrosis osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and orthopedic molecular biology. He also serves as a reviewer for National Natural Science Foundation projects and a member of the Youth Work Committee of the Joint Society of the Chinese Medical Association.
