In one such shocking incident, a group of doctors and nurses was asked by kin of a patient to pay for “damaging the clothes” after he was rushed to Zhongnan Hospital in China’s Hubei Province. 

The patient, whose surname has been revealed as Li, was unconscious after suffering a pulmonary embolism — a blockage of an artery in the lungs. Luckily, the team of medical staff saved his life. The doctor managed to save the life of the patients, but in order to do so had to cut open his clothes. 

However, the patient’s father later noticed that his son’s clothing had been cut and the contents of his pockets were missing. Overlooking what the doctor had done to save his son’s life, he demanded a compensation of 1,500 yuan for the damage!

The story went viral on Weibo, the Chinese social media platform, and Netizens couldn’t believe it. 

While some questioned the sanity of the parent, others were in deep shock. According to a report by the Shanghaist, in the end, the doctor negotiated the amount, and finally, paid him 1,000 yuan.

Taking to the media later, the doctor said he “understood” why the parent behaved in such an unusual manner. “For some people, 1,000 yuan is not a big deal, but for him, it was probably very important,” the doctor added. However, people on the Internet were not so understanding. 

Reportedly, people lauded the doctor as “saint” and someone referred to the father as a “piece of trash”. “Probably, his life isn’t even worth 1,000 yuan,” the report quoted one Weibo user. “For some people, you can bring their bodies back to life, but not their souls,” the report added.
