A doctor was seen getting into a verbal and physical scuffle with a female family member of one of his patients while smoking a cigarette, according to multiple Chinese media. The hospital defended the behavior of the doctor, surnamed Wang, and said he was previously in a car accident, wherein he suffered injuries to his brain.

The argument erupted when the family member of a hospital patient, surnamed Jiang, demanded a refund on the services Wang provided, according to the health bureau.
