Man demands compensation for torn clothes from doctor who saved his son's life

Doctors play a very important role in society as they save lives and are often part of miraculous efforts. But there are always people who are not very grateful to doctors who at times even face attacks from patients or their relatives.

Days after a shocking incident in Pune where a man stabbed a doctor over expenses for his treatment, another one has been reported from China. A man whose son survived the blockage of an artery in the lung after a life saving surgery, asked doctors to pay for the patient’s torn clothes.

As the hospital staff worked on saving the boy’s life, his father noticed that his clothes were cut and contents of his pocket were missing. He simply ignored what the doctor had done for his son and demanded 1500 yuan as compensation for the damage.

The incident went viral as people were shocked and questioned if the father was insane. A report by the Shanghaist suggested that the doctor did eventually pay 1000 yuan after negotiating the amount.

The doctor told the media that he understood the behaviour of the man and said that although the amount wouldn’t be a big deal for many, it meant a lot to the father.
