What happened is:

At noon on March 17, on the high-speed train from Liuzhou to Nanning East, a female doctor surnamed Chen heard the train broadcast saying “a passenger is not feeling well and urgently needs a doctor’s help,” and immediately went to the scene. After examining the passenger who had a sudden illness, Dr. Chen considered the possibility of gastrointestinal dysfunction and enteritis and recommended oxygen inhalation. The train’s emergency medicine box contained Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills. After administering the medicine locally and giving it orally to the patient, the patient’s abdominal pain gradually subsided.

According to the online article, just as Dr. Chen finished her rescue effort and was about to return to her compartment, she was stopped by the train conductor and asked to show her medical certificate. After Dr. Chen stated that she was not carrying her medical certificate, the conductor asked to check her ID card and ticket, took photos for the record, and asked her to write a statement and sign it.

After the news broke, it sparked heated discussions among netizens. The most popular sentiment was: If this matter is not properly addressed, no doctor will step forward to provide emergency treatment in similar situations in the future.

I agree with the netizens — people are inherently self-interested. But this issue should provoke deeper reflection: our laws need to be revised.

For years, China has used laws and regulations to constrain doctors. The rules have grown ever stricter, the paperwork ever more burdensome, and the profession increasingly difficult to practice. Society has long regarded patients as the vulnerable group, but this is no longer the case. Over the past few years, the situation has undergone a dramatic reversal. Nowadays, it is doctors who have become the vulnerable group. The crux of the matter is that medical services can be purchased with money.

In the train incident, the doctor provided free medical services. This was instinct and professional ethics on her part, but it was also out of respect for public transportation. Unintentionally, the high-speed rail operator, as the intermediary, bears some degree of responsibility — after all, they were the ones who called for help. If something went wrong, someone could hold them accountable. Naturally, the high-speed rail operator doesn’t want to bear this responsibility, so the best way to shift it onto others is to ask them to write a statement of guarantee. From this alone, we can see how our country’s public service system bullies the weak and fears the strong.

The best way to resolve such issues is through legislation that clearly defines patients’ rights and obligations and effectively constrains patients. Violating the law must carry a heavy price! The gaps in our laws have already exacted a tremendous toll on society as a whole. Take the Nanjing Peng Yu case, for example. This was clearly an exploitation of legal loopholes. Had this case been judged that way in any dynasty a hundred years ago, the magistrate who presided over it would not only have been dismissed from office but also condemned by the people. Yet in our contemporary rule-of-law society, all kinds of opportunists can cloak themselves in the blank spaces of the law and run amok — it is simply unconscionable.

Furthermore, I still don’t understand: which provision requires us to present a medical certificate when purchasing a ticket? Should there be a dedicated “Transportation Rescue” medical specialty?

If it were me, I would never write any materials, let alone show a medical certificate.

事情的经过是：

3月17日中午，在柳州至南宁东的动车上，一名姓陈的女医生听到车内广播”有一乘客不舒服，急需医生帮忙救治”的消息后，立即前往现场。在给突发疾病的乘客查体后，陈医生考虑其可能胃肠功能紊乱、肠炎，建议吸氧，列车上提供备用药箱里有藿香正气丸，就地取材给患者口服后，患者腹痛慢慢得以缓解。

网文称，就在陈医生结束这次救人之举，准备返回自己车厢时，被列车乘务员叫停、让她出示医生证。在陈医生表示自己没有携带医师证后，列车乘务员又提出查看其身份证和车票、拍照存案，以及要求她写一份情况说明并签字。

新闻爆出后，引发了网友的热议，呼声最高的是：如果这件事情不处理，以后再遇到类似情况恐怕没有医生会出来救急了。

我同意网友们的说法，人都是自私的，但是这个问题应该引发更深层次的思考，那就是我们的法律该修订了。

这么多年来，国内都是用法律和规范来约束医生，规定越来越严，事情越来越多，医生越来越不好做。社会上一向认为患者是弱势群体，其实不然，这个情况早就在这几年发生了翻天覆地的变化，现在来看，医生才是弱势群体。这里面的关键要害是，医疗服务是可以用金钱购买的。

对于列车上的事情来说，医生提供了无偿的医疗服务，这是所以医生的本能和职业道德，但也是看在公共交通的面子上，所以无意间高铁作为中间人，或多或少有责任，毕竟人是你叫来的，万一出点什么事人家想找你麻烦也是找得到的。高铁毕竟不想承担这个责任，转嫁给他人的最好办法，就是让人家写个保证书，从这就能看出来，我国的公共服务系统是多么欺软怕硬。

解决此类事情的最好办法，就是立法明确患者的权力和义务，要对患者进行有效的约束，违反法律必须付出高昂的代价！法律的空白已经让整个社会发展付出了沉痛的代价，就拿南京彭宇案来说，这明显是钻了法律的空子，这个案子在100年前的任何一个朝代被如果判成那样，那位判案的青天大老爷不仅会被革职，更会被人民痛骂。可在当代法治社会，各种佞人居然可以披着法律空白的外衣四处为非作歹，简直不可理喻。

另外我还不明白，我们购买车票时哪条哪款规定要出示医师证了？是不是应该专门开一个交通救护专业？

如果是我，我绝不写材料，更不会出示医师证。
