[Correspondence] Psychological aid following medical crises in China

On Oct 3, 2016, a doctor was fatally attacked by the patient's family member in China. Resentment, helplessness, confusion, and fear again damaged the already fragile doctor–patient relationship. Many have attributed the deterioration in this relationship to media, policy, patients, or doctors, in an apparent attempt to look for someone to blame. But in this recent case, an innocent paediatrician was attacked by a new father whose baby died of congenital disease. In denial, depression, and anger, the new father vented his grief on the doctor, with tragic consequences.
