Last week a doctor was injured severely in a weapon swung by his patient. The reason was that I didn't write the certificate as I wanted.

A medical reporter Cho Dong-chan met a victim who was afraid to open the office.

The orthopedic surgeon, who had done a number of splicing surgeries, was incredibly embarrassed when his left thumb was cut off by the knife he swung.

[Damage Doctor: I didn't know my hand was cut. I looked down and it was so ridiculous because my hands were already messed up.]

Restoration after microconjugation surgery, trauma is not easily erased.

[Damage Doctor: I still feel palpitations and heart palpitations when the door is opened.]

The terrible sight was exposed to the patients who were waiting.

[Damage Doctor: Because I was on my way to see you, I saw another patient holding onto my bleeding hand.]

The perpetrator was the patient who had operated five years ago and did not write the disability certificate as desired.

[Damage Doctor: Not applicable to the Ministry of Health and Welfare for the disabled level 6. I couldn't write it.]

In 2017, 1,541 cases of hospital violence were reported to the police, four to five times more than the subway or PC room.

Ninety percent of hospital violence abusers are themselves or carers, and more and more are related to disability certificates or medical certificates for insurance companies.

[Lee, Bong-geun / Hanyang University Hospital Orthopedic Surgery Professor: (Certificate) If you try to write according to the rules, you will have a lot of squabbles with the patient. That's very common. I think it's broken.]

France and the United States have separate appraisers for disability grades and medical certificates.

[Professor of Prof. Yoon-Sung Lee / Seoul School of Forensic Medicine: A doctor who is patient and needs to take care of the patient can concentrate on the treatment, and the doctor who evaluates can determine the objective disorder.]

The medical scene is still unstable after the High Immunity Law, which tightened penalties for hospital violence.
