sveryso Like China ... except in China the drs 'disappear' or die.

Unreal

Normal thing happened under Chinese hospitals ownership. You can check out around San Gabriel Valley areas.....

God bless Dr.Lin for calling out the inefficiencies of the health system he was at. Stop treating hospitals like wallstreet. Lose the executives and mbo’s. Take that money saved and hire more Physician’s, nurses, tech’s, housekeeping. Better patient care and outcomes over profit

What the hell is wrong with that hospital?

So you’re saving the good ones for later !!?

Criticizing publicly was a bad decision. To fire him is no better either.

Management eh s’sensitive

Read the room

The criticism China for reprimanding Dr. Li Wenliang seems to have been all propaganda. The firing of Captain Crozier and now Dr. Ming Lin aren’t different. shameful attacks on whistleblowers. The attacks on whistleblowers has been nonstop under Bush43, Obama and Trump.

Where is your human right,US?

What hospital, we need to know what hospital hides its unpreparedness.

Hero

What the f is wrong with hospitals and this Administration?

In America doctor don’t have freedom. Who else doesn’t have freedom?

What is it in America an Admiral speaks out for the safety of his crew and a doctor speaks out for his staff and they get sacked ,what are they scared of mass panic or the truth.

Poppin them perks when I black out.

Even the Doctor can not do anything after being fired. Sad 😭

When did we become China?

WTF is wrong with the people running the systems

Huh. Didn’t know Trump owned a hospital
