Presidential Office Responds to Medical Students’ Unfilial Remarks

The Office of the President expressed shock and disappointment over the unfilial remarks made by medical students, stating that such comments make them question the values of these future doctors.

A Blue House official emphasized that doctors have a critical role in healing the wounds of the people, not in causing harm or division. The official’s statement was made during a meeting with reporters in the Blue House briefing room.

While acknowledging that such remarks may be made by a minority of medical students, the official expressed hope that the majority of doctors will prioritize the well-being and lives of their patients. The official also hoped that the hurtful comments of some doctors will not negatively impact the public’s perception of the medical community.

The government has requested an investigation into the matter after it was revealed that some medical students made insensitive comments in an online community, including “I have no interest in (patients) dying while visiting the emergency room.”

Regarding the medical school increase adjustment plan, a Blue House official stated that the ruling and opposition parties are in agreement on the need to persuade the medical community and cooperate together. The official added that the success of the plan depends on the response of the medical community.
