The disclosure of the medical details of Chinese table tennis Olympic champion Wang Chuqin’s by a doctor has triggered an online backlash and questioning of medical ethics in the country.
Media reports emerged on December 20 saying that Wang’s private medical information had been leaked by a doctor he visited at the Changsha No.4 Hospital in central China’s Hunan province on December 14.
Wang made the visit during the China Table Tennis Super League’s Changsha match.
The Olympic champion appeared to be unwell in video footage from court.
A netizen later posted a chat app screenshot between her friend and a doctor at the hospital, who said Wang had his body examined at their hospital and signed them several autographs.
The doctor also bragged about checking Wang’s electrocardiogram.
