Violence against health-providers is disappointingly spiraling now in China

Within 10 days from May 28 through June 7 this year, a succession of nine violent incidents against health-providers happened in China. Just in the past 3 days, three more such events have occurred with one in my city of Suzhou, about 100 km west of Shanghai. A gynecologist was stabbed to death; a doctor was wounded in shock due to excessive blood loss by his previously comatose patient who was successfully-aroused after meticulous treatment; and several others were injured seriously. I am appalled and hurt this time. I have been sent into a downward spiral.
