BEIJING: A Chinese doctor who used a tube and his mouth to relieve an elderly airline passenger’s inability to urinate on a flight to New York has denied staging a “moral show” to save the patient in response to online suspicions about his motive.
“There would have been risks of failure, complications and infections. For a professional doctor, it would not have been cost-effective to make such a risky show,” said Dr Zhang Hong, a doctor with the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province.
