Abstract:
Recently the cases that doctors or hospitals show indifferently or unconcerned towards patients in mortal danger occur repeatedly,which can not be contained simply by moral condemnation and restraint.Considering its social hazards and correlated ancient and modern legislations,it is a direct and effective way to criminalize this immoral behavior.However,doctors' or hospitals' indifference towards patients in mortal danger is not an isolated issue,but closely correlated with other social contradictions and conflicts.Therefore,a fine social assistance system of medical service is still in great need so as to comprehensively solve this problem.
