| Harsher punishment on food safety crimes |
食品安全犯罪限用缓刑 |
| The Supreme Peoples Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Justice jointly released a circular on Wednesday urging a "high voltage" crackdown to take place along with more severe punishments for food safety crimes, Xinhua reported. According to the document, in addition to casualties and the amount of money involved, Chinese courts should also weigh in on offenders' subjective culpability, criminal methods and the negative effects their behaviors cause to various markets when sentencing the criminals. Repeat offenders, principals of criminal groups and those resulting in severe harm to people or to large-scale sales should be "strictly" punished in accordance with laws and regulations, the circular instructed. "Those deserving death penalties should be resolutely sentenced to death," it said. "Generally, officials who are involved in food safety crimes should not be given a reprieve or be exempt from criminal punishment." |

| Even doctors work while sick |
医生竟然也带病工作 |
| After polling 537 medical residents at 12 hospitals around the U.S., the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education found that nearly 58 percent of the respondents said they'd worked at least once while sick and 31 percent said they'd worked more than once while sick in the previous year, AP reported. About half said they hadn't had time to see a doctor about their illness. Dr. Thomas Nasca, the accreditation council's CEO, said residents are trained to put patients' needs above their own but also should recognize that if they're sick, their patients' would be better served by having another doctor take care of them. |
