If the patient dies because of the doctor's dereliction of duty, what responsibilities should the doctor bear?
Doctors need to bear the responsibility of civil compensation and administrative punishment. If it causes serious social impact and constitutes a crime, it also needs to bear criminal responsibility.

Recently, the death of a junior in Hebei Communication College caused widespread concern on the Internet. The focus was more on the question raised by the students' families whether the client was effectively treated by the school doctor at the time of the incident.

The thing is, Wang Chao (a dead college student) felt unwell after physical examination, and was "treated" by the school doctor and sent to the hospital for treatment, but died after being sent to the hospital for one hour.

Sister Wang Chao described that she received a phone call from the counselor that Wang Chao was being rescued. Afterwards, I received a video about Wang Chao falling to the ground. The video provider said that "no one present has any sense of self-help, let alone the rescue of the school doctor" and "the ambulance can't drive downstairs", which exposed that some people did not fulfill their responsibilities.

As can be seen from the emergency cases provided by Wang Chao's sister, Wang Chao's diagnosis is respiratory and cardiac arrest and death. After the incident, public opinion began to ferment. Hebei Communication University issued a notice saying, "The school was saddened by the death of this classmate, and the school leaders attached great importance to this matter and set up a special working group to actively assist the police in the investigation." At the same time, some situations are preliminarily explained.

However, Sister Wang Chao questioned this notice and said, "Wang Chao is in good health, loves sports and has a good knowledge of martial arts. It said that after Wang Chao was in a coma, the school doctor who arrived at the scene did not implement rescue measures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration at the first time, and on the way to the hospital by his counselor's private car in Wang Chao, the school doctor did not accompany him and continued cardiopulmonary resuscitation, so that he missed the best rescue time. "

Obviously, if Wang Chao's sister's description is true, the school doctor should bear the corresponding responsibility. Then according to the laws of our country, what responsibility will the school doctor bear?

According to Article 55 of the Regulations on Handling Medical Accidents in People's Republic of China (PRC), if a medical institution has a medical accident, the health administrative department shall give a warning according to the level and circumstances of the medical accident; If the circumstances are serious, it shall be ordered to suspend business for rectification within a time limit until the practice license is revoked by the original issuing department, and the medical personnel who are responsible shall be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law on the crime of medical accident; Those who are not serious enough for criminal punishment shall be given administrative or disciplinary sanctions according to law.

According to Article 335 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), medical personnel who cause death or serious damage to the health of patients due to serious irresponsibility shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention.

It can be seen that if the resident doctor has an unshirkable responsibility, he may bear criminal responsibility and be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention. Those who are less responsible will only be subject to administrative or disciplinary sanctions.

As for the truth of this matter, let's continue to pay attention. But in any case, the death of this 20-year-old young man is regrettable. At the same time, we also remind everyone to pay attention to their own health and safety when exercising. Life is precious, and we are all the first responsible persons for our own health!
