The death of a scientist surnamed Yang, who was seven months pregnant, at Peking University Third Hospital on Jan 11 has drawn1 a lot of media attention because of the dispute that has erupted between prestigious2 national institutions.
1月11日，怀孕七个月的中科院女博士杨某在北京大学第三医院住院时死亡，此事引发了国内最牛科研单位和医疗单位的角力，引起了媒体的广泛关注。
The Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where Yang worked, sent a letter to the hospital, which it said was at the request of Yang’s family, calling for a "fair,
transparent3 and thorough"
investigation4.
先是杨某所在工作单位，中国科学院理化技术研究所给北医三院发函，称其应家人要求，希望北医三院对杨某死亡原因作出“公正、透明、翔实”的调查。
The hospital responded by claiming dozens of relatives and friends of Yang assaulted medical staff and damaged hospital equipment after her death. The Chinese Medical Doctor Association then became involved saying the institute should educate its employees to follow the law.
医院方面回应称，杨某死后，其亲友数十人聚集到北医三院追打医务人员，毁坏医院财物。之后中国医师协会介入调解，将表示中科院关心职工应与尊医守法并重。
This unseemly war of words should end, and thorough
investigations5 should be conducted to find out what really happened at the hospital.
这些不得体的舌战应当终止，大家要做的应该是彻底调查，找出真相。
If the hospital’s claims prove true, Yang’s relatives and friends risk facing criminal charges. The
amended6 Criminal Law came into effect on Nov 1, 2015, criminalizing acts that threaten the security of medical staff or disrupt the functioning of hospitals. If convicted, violators can be sentenced up to seven years in prison.
若医院的陈述属实，杨某的亲友面临刑事指控的风险。修正后刑法于2015年11月1日生效，判定威胁医护人员安全或扰乱医院秩序为违法行为，如果被判违法，当事人可被判处最高七年监禁。
At the same time, a transparent investigation by an independent
authoritative7 medical
arbitration8 organization ought to be
initiated9 to find out if the hospital bears any responsibility for Yang’s death.
同时，应当由一个独立的权威医疗机构进行透明的调查，以查明北医三院是否对杨某的死亡负有责任。
Whatever the results of these probes, people should not let their anger and
frustration10 take the better of their senses if a patient dies in a hospital.
不管这些猜测的结果如何，如果病人死在了医院，人们不应该因愤怒和沮丧而丧失了理智。
Doctor-patient relations have been tense in recent years for various social reasons, and that makes a proper and timely clarification of what happened on that fateful day all the more important.
近几年来，由于种种社会原因，医患关系一直很紧张，这就使得正确、及时的澄清灾难当天所发生的事情显得至关重要。
Meanwhile,
mechanisms11 for communication between doctors and patients should be upgraded to make them more effective.
与此同时，医生和病人之间的沟通机制应予改善，以使沟通更富成效。
