    Brief Introduction

    Uncle Zhou (78 years old) was diagnosed and treated at Hospital A due to "experienced chest pain for 13 hours" and was admitted to the CCU ward of the cardiovascular department of the hospital.


    The family members believe that because Hospital A did not fulfill their guardianship responsibilities, the patient fell in the bathroom of the hospital, and died after the rescue was invalid.


    Court hearing

    The court of first instance held that the patient’s claim that the patient’s Uncle Zhou’s damage was caused by Hospital A’s failure to fulfill its special nursing responsibilities.


    At the time of the retrial, the court of first instance determined that the reason for filing the case was a dispute over liability for medical damage.


    The court of second instance held that the relationship between the patient and the hospital is a doctor-patient relationship, which is an indisputable fact in this case.

    There are two focal issues involved in this case.
