In the past two days, a Weibo post labeled "This Shantou woman is going to be famous" has been wildly shared by netizens. The protagonist of the incident is Dr. Li from the Third Department of Shantou City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. She was called a "cold-blooded doctor" by netizens for telling patients on Weibo to "wait until I get off work to die."
[Review of the Incident]
On the evening of the 22nd, a Weibo post began to spread widely online, stirring public anger. This post provided a screenshot of a Weibo account suspected to belong to a medical staff member in Shantou, along with a selfie and a postcard from the staff member.

It turns out my luck (character) is really great~ Last night, the family repeatedly asked to remove the IV to let the patient pass peacefully, but I refused again and again, forcibly extending her life until today. She started vomiting blood when I got off work, probably just in these few hours. Anyway, it’s none of my business now, I’m off work, oh yeah yeah yeah.
"The moment to test character has arrived. A patient's blood oxygen is dropping, and at midnight they might have to get up to collect the corpse... In this cold weather, it’s not easy for me to warm my bed, so can you wait until I get off work to die, okay?"
"The best news I received at work tonight! The highlight is in the last two lines: Patient declared clinically dead at 2:10 PM~ I can sleep well tonight! I can go on a trip tomorrow!"
These three statements all came from Li’s Weibo. According to incomplete statistics, they have been forwarded over ten thousand times, with thousands of netizens commenting, almost unanimously calling her "cold-blooded" and "immoral"; however, some netizens believe "she just told the truth" and "after seeing so much, it’s understandable to be indifferent to life and death."

Apology: Admitted the Weibo was indeed posted by herself
Recently, a reporter learned from Vice President Lin, who is responsible for investigating the matter at Shantou City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital where the person involved works, that Li has now been transferred to work in the hospital laundry. Li admitted that the Weibo called "cold-blooded Weibo" by many netizens was indeed posted by herself, and she re-registered a Weibo account on the evening of the 24th to issue an apology letter to the public.
The reporter noticed that on the evening of the 24th, Li re-registered a Weibo account and issued an apology letter, apologizing to the public for her words and actions. Vice President Lin confirmed that the account indeed belongs to Li herself.
In the apology letter, Li stated: "Recently, my inappropriate remarks on Weibo have caused a very bad impact on all sectors of society and the unit. I have deeply realized my mistakes, and here, I sincerely apologize to everyone. As a doctor, making such remarks is extremely irresponsible behavior..."
Punishment: No longer possible to be a doctor
Vice President Lin introduced the latest progress of the investigation. Besides being removed from clinical duties and losing prescription rights, Li has now been transferred to work in the hospital laundry.
"This is the most severe punishment the hospital has ever imposed for a similar incident," said Vice President Lin.
When asked about the possibility of Li returning to her original position, Vice President Lin replied: "The possibility is very low, basically impossible."
Netizens' Attitudes: Half Forgive, Half Doubt
Netizens have mixed attitudes toward Li’s apology.
A considerable number of netizens chose to forgive this young female doctor and give her a chance. A netizen claiming to know Li said, "The public pressure and punishment caused by this mistake may have exceeded our imagination," hoping "everyone can encourage each other; as adults, we must take full responsibility for our words and actions."
In her apology letter, Li mentioned again that "the original Weibo account can no longer be logged into," so she re-registered a Weibo account, which caused many netizens to doubt the sincerity of her apology: "It seems the original Weibo content was indeed posted by Li herself, so why mention being hacked and unable to log in? Would you apologize if you hadn’t been punished?"
In addition, some netizens were troubled by the fact that the apology letter never mentioned the families of the patients who might have been harmed, and therefore chose not to forgive.
