To assess injuries and make judgments on hospitals' diagnoses and
treatment plans, 1,390 medical experts in Beijing have been selected to
serve as a professional third party in medical disputes and as expert
witnesses in court, the Beijing News reported.
These experts, who
have been recommended by medical and judicial institutions, cover a
wide range of disciplines, including internal medicine, surgery,
gynecology, pediatrics, forensic medicine, nursing, etc. Their first
term will last four years.
According to an official, when a
medical dispute occurs, experts will be randomly selected by the
hospital and the patient. If any expert is found to be associated with
the hospital in question or related to the patient, they will be asked
to recuse themselves.
