The society is torn apart, and many people are divided into yellow and blue camps, and the medical association of the largest group of doctors in Hong Kong is no exception. The board of directors of the Medical Association coincides with the change of the political climate, and members' votes are yellow or blue.

Lin Zhexuan, the vice president of the Medical Association, contested for re-election this time, and changed the previous practice of not joining the cabinet. Instead, he joined the team of He Zhongping, the president of the Medical Association who is also seeking re-election. Hold the lead.

Lin Zhexuan accepted in an exclusive interview with "Hong Kong 01" that he does not want the medical association to become a political platform, but should be a professional body that discusses medical issues and emphasizes that it is not suitable to express political ideological opinions in the name of the medical association. In the eyes of the political scene, he stated that he would not change his position for the votes. In the past, he had reprimanded medical strikes, joint police support and law enforcement, and severely criticized insurance companies for oppression. Only in the anti-amendment conflict, he pointed out that the medical science would immediately condemn the police violent or support the detained first-aid personnel before the incident was cleared. He believed that the court had its own trial. He does not deny that it will inevitably be labeled as a police blue wire, but he believes that doctor members can see his track record.

"Then I am blue, or even red, you Mimi."

The general election of the Board of Directors of the Medical Association includes the election of new presidents, vice presidents, and directors, and the voting will end before June 30. These seats are valued in the medical community. One of the reasons is the medical committee of the statutory body that supervises the level of doctors (24 doctors and 8 lay members), 7 of which are chaired by the board of directors of the Medical Association.

Lin Zhexuan joined the Medical Association for more than ten years, including six years as a voluntary secretary and two years as a vice president. He said that some people will see in the track record, "I hope to solve medical problems is the main reason for staying low. It ’s ideological politics, especially to unite with most doctors to discuss. ”He emphasized that he does n’t want politics to influence the work of the medical society.“ If you wear a hat, then I ’m blue (blue silk), or even red, you Mikasa. My own track record (track record) for many years, everyone has eyes. "

"Half the police" only supports law enforcement

In the anti-amendment campaign last year, medical staff were involved in the political vortex, the medical and health care agency signed off, and sit-in, and even more obliged first aid workers were arrested in the conflict. The difference between "yellow and blue" is that everyone is distinguishing, and doctors are no exception.

Lin Zhexuan ’s name was published on the front page of the newspaper in September last year and he supported the police ’s law enforcement statement. He was called the police doctor. Today, Lin Zhexuan said indifferently, "Label is inevitable. I am not without political ideas, but I cannot bring political ideas into the medical association. That time I signed that statement, not in any other capacity. He bluntly said that he was only "half of the police". "I only support the law enforcement by the police. If it is not enforced according to the powers given by the law, no one will support them."

Lin Zhexuan joked that when he chatted with reporters last year, he laughed that he was an established faction. The other party responded with laughter and felt unbelievable. "It's so interesting. Today I speak of myself as an opposition. No one will believe!" The policy expressed opinions and criticized the government, the hospital authority and large insurance companies from time to time. In the 2016 Doctor Registration Amendment Bill, which involved the reform of the Medical Council, he had solidarity with the then Legislative Council member of the medical profession, Leung Ka Kau, pulling down the bill. Later, in a closed-door meeting, doctors' groups including the Medical Association were given a lesson by the then Chief Secretary for Administration, Lin Zhengyue. Last year, the Hong Kong government introduced a bill to ban e-cigarettes. He supported legislation to ban e-cigarettes.

His campaign platform includes strengthening public-private medical collaboration, improving healthcare training, advocating remote medical services, and even countering the oppression of medical groups and insurance companies. However, social conflicts continue to intensify, people are restless, it is hard to say that they can focus on industry rights.

An emergency doctor was arrested at the PolyU site

Last year, the conflict between the police and the people did not stop, and the attitude of the Medical Association was questioned. Lin Zhexuan tried to explain the reason. In the siege of the Polytechnic University in November last year, a group of first aid workers wearing reflective vests such as "Doctor" and "Nurse" were photographed and arrested by the police. Several health care organizations issued a joint statement condemning the police action, criticizing the police for obstructing humanitarian rescue, and the Medical Association did not join the denunciation.

Lin Zhexuan said: "When the incident is not clear, let's go to the first place, not the accusations made by mature people." He revealed that when he was informed that a doctor had been arrested, the President of the Medical Association He Zhongping also wrote to the police station And through the Legislative Council member Chen Peiran, try to contact the doctor to express concern.

Lin Zhexuan believed that the rule of law system would return the parties to justice. He pointed out that the doctor was demonstrating hemostasis and bandaging the injured at the demonstration site. He cannot be ignored by the police. "The police have the responsibility of the police. The doctor does the first aid at the scene. He also has the responsibility of the first aid. When the two responsibilities conflict, the police enforce the law. The department should consider burying it. Is there any need to arrest the doctor based on the evidence obtained at that time? "He continued, arresting is an act, as well as evidence collection, prosecution and court ruling. "If the doctor really knew that it was only an emergency action at the time, and did not participate in any illegal actions, why don't you believe that the court can finally be innocent?"

He pointed out that instead of "screaming" (meaning issuing a statement) before the incident was unclear, why not wait for the matter to be ascertained, "The police may look at the evidence later and it will be released." He was asked to question the police's indiscriminate arrest. In many cases, there is not enough evidence to prosecute. Lin Zhexuan said that he could not comment: "Because I don't know that the ordering act has sufficient grounds to arrest that person, this is the expertise of Qu (police), not my expertise."

Lin Zhexuan bluntly said that it is only "half of the police". "I only support the law enforcement by the police. If it is not enforced according to the powers granted by the law, no one will support them." (Photo by Huang Baoying)

Oppose strike medical care: do not affect patient care

As the conflicts between the anti-amendment laws have eased, new coronaviruses are rampant in Hong Kong. At the beginning of the epidemic in January, many doctors and nurses denounced the Hong Kong government's ineffectiveness in the fight against the epidemic and refused to "completely seal off" the mainland. The staff front of the HA launched a strike in early February.

Some industries debate this method, including Lin Zhexuan. At the press conference, he asked at the beginning of the strike what the medical care was, and if it was not enough to protect the clothing, he "dropped" and called on the medical care to return to work. The epidemic situation is now under control. Lin Zhexuan looked back at these days. After the industrial operation, there were indeed no Hong Kong medical staff leaving the post. But he reiterated that medical care should not affect the rights and interests of patients. "You can't affect patient care. You have to explain how to affect patients undergoing cancer surgery? Doesn't it matter?" He also pointed out that the reason for dissatisfaction First, the Hong Kong government has not communicated well with the industry in the decision-making process, but believes that the government's anti-epidemic performance this time is not worse than that of the United States.

Social contradictions are fierce, and where does the Medical Association position? Lin Zhexuan emphasized that he should speak professionally for doctors. He repeatedly mentioned that he did not want the Medical Association to express its views on political ideology. "I do not agree with the Medical Association ’s blind support of the government or the Central Government. Neither will it support the Medical Association to support another extreme political belief aloud." As for the Medical Association There can be tears, he said: "The polarization within the medical association does not necessarily constitute a serious society as a whole." He described doctors as very rational. "I believe that no doctor will agree to speculation or resort to violence." Whether He Zhongping or Cai Jian are elected presidents, they should maintain the professional platform role of the medical association.
