Seven private doctors were arrested by the police recently for allegedly spamming more than 20,000 "needle-free papers".
Leung Chun-ying, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive, wrote an article today (29th), criticizing the incident as "the scandal of the century in Hong Kong's medical profession", which has brought shame to all Hong Kong doctors.
He questioned that "spam" is not only a problem of professional negligence or mistakes, but also a problem of corruption and bribery in nature.
Leung Chun-ying posted on Facebook, taking auditors and appraisers as examples, referring to the society entrusting some important public powers to qualified persons, such as auditors issuing company audit reports, appraisers issuing real estate appraisal reports, etc. "If there are auditors and appraisers who do not do due diligence, the client will sign what they say, or even charge the client a higher fee than normal, this is not a "spam" report, not only a professional negligence or mistake, in nature It's a matter of corruption and bribery.
"
He pointed out that the Department of Health has issued guidelines to doctors, setting out the medical reasons for not being vaccinated. Doctors should only issue needle-free papers after confirming that the person concerned is not suitable for vaccination, and act in accordance with the "Hong Kong Professional Code of Practice for Registered Medical Practitioners" , is due diligence.
He questioned that the doctor spamming the "needle-free paper" is equivalent to the garage allowing vehicles of doubtful safety to run around on the street, causing harm to other road users. "How should such a garage be sued and how should it be punished?"
Leung Chun-ying also questioned the Medical Association and the Western Medicine Union on this issue. "It's an understatement. What does it mean?"
