Newspaper advertisement published "Experts in Retina and Yellow Surgery"
"Hong Kong Solidarity Fund" held a 10-day "Innovation and Technology Expo" in September 2018. Ophthalmologist Li Yourong was one of the speakers and the topic was "Guide to Eye Care for Generations with Head Down". The case refers to the fact that on September 24, 2018, the organizer published an advertisement in the "Headline Daily" in which Li Yourong was referred to as an "expert in retina and yellow shift surgery". However, the title is not quotable and will mislead the public. Li Yourong is suspected of failing to take appropriate measures to prevent the title from being quoted, and was charged with a professional misconduct.
Li Yourong: You know you are dead when you see the advertisement!
The defense stated that Li Yourong was an invited guest and did not know that the organizer would advertise the event beforehand, nor would he participate in the organizer's preparations. In addition, he also questioned the allegations of misleading advertisements. He believed that it was only used for publicity and not to promote the doctor's personal profession. In fact, Li Yourong is already a registered ophthalmologist.
In his defense, Li Yourong stated that he did not remember whether he had given the card to the person in charge of the organizer, and he did not expect that the organizer would sell advertisements for the event, and he did not know that the other party would quote the title. The prepared briefing also did not quote the relevant title. However, he admitted that he had not provided information on the quotation of titles in advance.
He said that he did not know why the other party would use the relevant title, probably because it was discussed on the Baby Kingdom and other web pages to find him for retinal surgery. He said that he would go to the Exchange Square every day to do exercises. It happened that someone handed him the newspaper on the day the advertisement was published. "If you see it, you will die!" He contacted the person in charge of the organizer afterwards, and the other party also apologized to him for this. The chairman of the hearing panel, Cai Jian, questioned why he did not ask the other party for correction. Li pointed out that "the prophet according to the family is a good way."
Medical Council: Misleading title
The prosecution stated that it is the responsibility of the doctor to ensure that the information is not misleading and that it does not agree with what the defense said is part of the preparatory work. The hearing team of the Medical Council stated that the use of the relevant title made the public misunderstand that Li's profession is superior to other ophthalmologists, giving them false hope that Li can handle the patient's eye problems. In addition, the scale of the activities involved is large, and it is believed that Li Hui expects promotion activities. Considering that Li Yourong has learned a lesson, actively participated in charity and health education, and that he did not use this to promote his personal profession, the Medical Council reprimanded him.
