The Society Ranted, and the Female Nurse Became the Scapegoat

From the Front Page Sections, translated…

Every now and then, there would be new of violence in the hospitals, and the most usual victims are, the nurses.  The Sanitary Welfare Department reacted strongly to the matter wanted the amendments, to increase the severity of punishment for the offenders, to improve the hardware of the hospitals, as well as upgrading the alert systems too.  All of these, are important implementations, but the writer believes, that this has more to do with the genders’ power struggles, as well as the trend of “ranting” in Taiwan right now.
