Patient who killed doctor executed
Print Edition
A man who stabbed a doctor to death and wounded two others in east China was executed yesterday, local authorities said.
Lian Enqing, 34, carried out the attack at the No. 1 People鈥檚 Hospital in Wenling City, Zhejiang Province, in October 2013, claiming to be suffering problems following nasal surgery there in March 2013.
The hospital said the surgery was successful, but Lian felt he was being cheated, his sister, Lian Qiao, had said.
She said that he had been receiving treatment for a persistent delusional disorder at the Shanghai Mental Health Center prior to the attack.
However, experts found that Lian was fully aware of the attack and fully accountable for its consequences.
Lian was sentenced to death by the Intermediate People鈥檚 Court in Zhejiang鈥檚 Taizhou City in January 2014. The provincial Higher People鈥檚 Court upheld the death sentence after he appealed.
Doctor-patient relations in China have been fraught with tension in recent years, as frustration, misunderstanding and dissatisfaction have resulted in violence.
Earlier this year, a doctor and a patient from the central province of Henan died in an elevator shaft following a brawl in a local hospital.
