Hong Kong actress Zhou Haimei, who was named "the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo", was confirmed by her studio on the 12th to pass away due to ineffective medical treatment on the 11th at the age of 57. Unexpectedly, the electronic medical records of Zhou Haimei's emergency treatment were quickly disseminated on the Internet, causing an uproar, and "People's Daily Online" also condemned it.
Shunyi District, Beijing, announced on the morning of the 14th that a 36-year-old man surnamed Fu took advantage of his work at Shunyi Hospital of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital on the 11th to take a picture of Zhou Haimei's medical records and send them to the WeChat group for showing off, and has now been administratively detained in accordance with the law. "People's Daily Online" spoke out on Weibo on the 14th, saying that Fu Nan's detention was not unjust at all, "Zhou Haimei's death due to illness was unfortunate, leaking her medical records and violating her privacy not only lacked respect for her, but also caused secondary harm to her family."
People's Daily Online further pointed out that if Fu Nan is a doctor, he violates professional ethics such as the "Physician Law" and the "Basic Medical Care and Health Promotion Law", even if he is not a doctor, the act of leaking a patient's medical records constitutes a civil tort. "People's Daily Online" moved out of the "Patient Safety Project Action Plan" issued by the National Health Commission, pointing out that it is strictly forbidden for anyone to provide patient diagnosis and treatment information to others or other institutions without authorization, "In this context, Zhou Haimei's medical records were leaked, which is indeed regrettable and angry." If it is not supervised in accordance with the law, every patient may become the next Zhou Haimei and lose the most basic sense of security when seeking medical treatment.
People's Daily Online criticized Fu Nan's behavior of disseminating medical records as hateful and pathological, "In order to show off for a while, it is so selfish to expose the victim's privacy to the world?"Such illegal practices cannot be condoned. If we do not severely punish them in accordance with the law, we may leak patients' medical records today for the purpose of showing off, and tomorrow we may infringe on patients' privacy in other ways that do not stand up to scrutiny." also mentioned that while netizens were upset with Zhou Haimei, they also praised the practice of the field, and talked about how the hospital involved should more strictly protect the privacy of patients, and if there is a lack of an effective regulatory mechanism, question whether the hospital involved can win the trust of patients in the future.
In the end, he concluded: "The detention of Zhou Haimei's medical records is a case worthy of alarm." Whether working in a hospital or other institutions, you should have reverence, respect the law, and respect the legitimate rights and interests of patients. If the privacy of others is disclosed in the convenience of work, they shall bear due legal responsibility".
