outburst! A doctor in Hangzhou jumped to his death!
According to the official microblog of "Yuhang Public Security" in the early morning of December 10, at about 8 p.m. on December 7, the Yuhang police received a mass alarm, saying that a man had fallen to his death in an apartment in Xixi Bafang City. After receiving the report, the police quickly dispatched the police to deal with it. After on-site investigation and visit investigation, it was confirmed that the deceased was Han Mou (male, born in 1969, a doctor in a medical outpatient department in Hangzhou City, suffering from depression), and the criminal case was ruled out after investigation.

In just a few lines, the life of a doctor came to an abrupt end, which is lamentable.
However, what is more painful is that in 2021 alone, according to the incomplete statistics of Xiaobian, 5 cases have occurred:
1. On February 26, Zang Moumou, an organ transplant expert in China and vice president of Qingdao University Medical Group, died at the age of 57 in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (it is reported that Zang Moumou jumped to his death).
2. On March 26, before the Qingming Festival, Dong Zezhong, a 43-year-old village doctor in Daozhen County, Guizhou Province, used a bottle of pesticide to send himself to the road of no return, which was caused by a medical accident and compensation of 60,000 yuan.
3. On April 14, the chief surgeon of Chaoshan Hospital (formerly Raoping County People's Hospital), the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, fell to his death in the hospital inpatient building, and was diagnosed with major depression before his death, and was taking medication before his death.
4. On April 26, a doctor from a township health center in Shandong Province, who worked a day during the day, jumped from the 9th floor to death at about 7 p.m. According to the whistleblower, the doctor began to work, conscientious, and had a good reputation. The reason for jumping off the building is suspected to be excessive pressure on the unit.
5. On May 9, Ren Mou, an attending Chinese medicine physician in the Department of Acupuncture and Tuina of Taizhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Zhejiang Province, committed suicide by jumping into the river. Dr. Ren was suspected of suffering from depression and had a tendency to have a light life.
Think of the obscured, overlooked, real data should be far more than the current 6 cases.
But even if there are only these 6 cases, it is already the misfortune of many people.
Every time he committed suicide, he actually killed!
Dirkheim has a classic thesis about human suicide. He pointed out that whenever a person commits suicide, his death is related to everyone in the society in which he lives.
That is to say, every suicide is actually killed by him!
This sentence is easy to understand, who is born to think about suicide? It is only when encountering such and such unpleasantness that this idea will arise and even put into action.
But why is it a doctor?

Let's start with a set of data:
On May 8, 2018, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) published a survey that said that the suicide rate among U.S. physicians was the highest among all occupations, at 28 to 40/100,000, more than double the 12.6/100,000 suicide rate of the U.S. general population in 2015 published by the WHO.
That same year, Medscape also conducted a poll on the topic. 65 percent of the physicians, 41 percent of senior clinical registered nurses, and 38 percent of medical students said they knew of or still have doctors around them who committed suicide or attempted suicide. The top three causes of suicide cited by most respondents were: occupational exhaustion, depression, and stress.
For such data, China is still relatively small, but there is a depression data that you can look at:
According to statistics, the probability of depression among domestic doctors is as high as 50.4%, of which 16.9% are moderate depression doctors and 4.6% are severe depression doctors. Doctors with depression have a higher risk of suicide, 3.4 times higher for male doctors and 5.7 times higher for female doctors than the average person.
From these data, it is not difficult to see that the risk of depression and suicide of doctors is quite high.
How come doctors who can treat diseases and save people are forced to become patients who need to be rescued?
This is a problem that requires the thinking of many people and many departments.
As doctors in China, especially young doctors, they are often physically and mentally exhausted under the multiple pressures of ultra-long training cycles, super workloads, fierce industry competition, heavy promotion pressure, and low labor remuneration.
If you encounter medical disputes again, it is likely to be a shadow that you will not be able to get out of for a lifetime.
In addition, the doctor-patient contradiction is sharp, and the doctor must not only hold the scalpel to treat the patient, but also avoid the machete in the patient's hand.
Therefore, in this deformed and high-pressure environment, the group of white-clad teenagers who are full of ambition have long been devastated by reality and are fragile!
Then, at this time, some people are sick, and some people choose to end it completely.
The doctor's vulnerability should be seen
In the comment area below this matter, many netizens called for attention to the mental health of doctors, Xiaobian is very fortunate, and finally some people remember the fact that "doctors are people not gods".
Editors often feel that doctors are the closest profession to human nature in this world, so they can often see the willfulness in human nature. And willfulness is often unscrupulous, so doctors are often hurt by this willful energy.
But what about after the damage?
No one cares and no one cares – doctors should not care, let alone care. But in fact, the negative energy accumulated in their hearts was about to swallow them all up.
People often overestimate doctors or pretend to be deaf and dumb about the vulnerability they show.
For example, the world often thinks that doctors are ruthless and ruthless, and the world's life, old age, illness, death, and death are just a cloud of smoke in their eyes, and they do not know that doctors who are accustomed to seeing life and death attach the most importance to life and death.
This emphasis is not only a defense of the medical cause that he has dedicated for more than a decade or even decades, but also out of reverence for life.
The following picture may have been seen by many peers:
In the photo, a doctor is crouching outside the hospital and crying bitterly. Who would have thought that the reason the doctor was heartbroken was because he had failed to save the life of a 19-year-old patient.
Look, they also have temperature and they are fragile.
But now there is indeed a very strange phenomenon, except for the doctor, other people seem to be unable to see the vulnerability of the doctor, and many doctors are depressed and have psychological problems but dare not face it, just like the star who eats by the face does not want to admit that he is indeed crippled.
In 2019, a survey in the United States showed that only 26% of doctors who have had suicidal thoughts seek psychiatrist or psychological help. More than 60 percent of doctors with suicidal thoughts are reluctant to seek help because of fear that it will affect their medical practice.
Although it is foreign data, it can also reflect a certain truth.
Therefore, it is extremely important for doctors to be able to face up to their own vulnerability, which is an opportunity to see clearly that the abyss in front of them is a great abyss. The relevant departments, hospital leaders and even the patient's sight is a lifeline to prevent falling into the abyss.
Finally: Many times, it is too tiring to live, because to die requires only the courage to jump in, and to live takes a lifetime of courage. But the editor would like to quote a sentence from the writer Yu Hua: "People do not live for the sake of living, but for anything other than living." "So no matter how much suffering we suffer, we must be strong and brave to live."
Come on!
