Some voiced their concerns that nowadays too many doctors pay much of their attention to the amount of money they are given by the patients before the medical services. However, a recent study shows that doctors are actually more concerned about their patients' health rather than the money.

A survey jointly launched by China Youth Daily and a popular medical Web site shows over 63 percent of respondents say they are the happiest when patients trust them and are cured later.

One respondent admitted that even a simple nod from a former patient in the street would give him the most comfort.

The People's Daily, one of the Chinese leading newspapers, carried a commentary saying people may rethink their attitudes towards doctors after they know the survey result.

The newspaper pointed out a biased stereotype of doctors nowadays is that they are greedy and they are apt to receive additional money in "red envelopes"

The article argued that no doctors would like to kill his patients on the operation table. Most of the accidents happened due to technical failures. No doctors would be so irrational that he or she would let the operation fail only because they are not given any money.

The newspaper pointed out it is a misconception that patients must give "red envelopes" before operations. Life is priceless. No red envelopes can make dead man alive. The paper concluded the story by suggesting that a grateful heart only is the best reward for the doctor's work.
