Doctors doubt 'hollow vow'
The mainland has seen at least five incidents of violence directed at doctors since last summer.

In the most recent case, a woman doctor at the No 3 People's Hospital in Hengyang , Hunan province, died after a patient cut her neck on Saturday. In another incident, a young doctor in Harbin , Heilongjiang , was killed by a patient he had not treated. The incident involving staff kneeling during a funeral rite at the Baixin Hospital was being investigated, said an official from the county's health bureau.

The hospital was closed in the meantime, said the official, who declined to be named.

Professor Zhou Zijun, from Peking University, said the anger towards doctors and hospitals stemmed from a wider feeling of distrust prevailing in society.

One in seven thinks end of world is coming: poll
Responses to the international poll of 16,262 people in more than 20 countries varied widely with only six percent of French residents believing in an impending Armageddon in their lifetime, compared to 22 percent in Turkey and the United States and slightly less in South Africa and Argentina.

But only seven percent in Belgium and eight percent in Great Britain feared an end to the world during their lives.

About one in 10 people globally also said they were experiencing fear or anxiety about the impending end of the world in 2012. The greatest numbers were in Russia and Poland, the fewest in Great Britain.
