The medical internship content of “Exciting Offer 8” caused controversy because of Li Ziqi’s comments and resume. The school responded that the presentation was inappropriate and that the clinical rotation had been completed. The professionalism of the program was also questioned by netizens.
The workplace reality show “Exciting Offer 8” recently returned to the medical track. Li Ziqi, a doctoral student in neurosurgery at Fujian Medical University, attracted attention with his comments and resume on the show. Content such as “No clinical practice during PhD” and “Diagnosis depends on blind guesswork” made many viewers question the program’s lack of rigor in the medical field, and some viewers said they had reported relevant content.
The program portrayed Li Ziqi as an excellent trainee who claimed to have published 10 SCI papers and participated in technically difficult and risky Level 4 surgeries, China Business News and Observer.com reported. However, during the clinical assessment session, he stated that “Writing medical records is just a routine and can be learned in a day” and mentioned that “I will not go into clinical practice during my PhD period.” Furthermore, he said during the film reading assessment that he “blindly guessed it was craniopharyngioma”, and was later reminded by the teacher that the diagnosis could not be relied on blind guessing. After the relevant clip was broadcast, it sparked discussion among netizens, and some netizens questioned its academic integrity.
According to reports, Fujian Medical University staff responded that the school has verified the relevant situation. The statement “No clinical practice during the PhD period” is a misunderstanding caused by Li Ziqi’s inappropriate expression. The student has completed 18 months of clinical rotations. The school’s Discipline Inspection Commission staff said on the same day that they had not yet received any reports about Li Ziqi’s academic fraud.
The performance of other trainees was also discussed during the programme. Among them, a trainee said that he could “advance” the expenses for the patient, which attracted the attention of medical self-media and netizens. Some viewers believe that such storylines may not fully represent the complex situations in real medical scenes, while others question whether part of the program may cause the public to misunderstand medical work.
According to China Youth Daily, netizens also pointed out the unprofessional performance in the program and described the statement of “participating in level 4 surgery” as artificially exaggerated and misleading; It was also criticized for its statement that it could help patients by giving them “advance money”. Additionally, the best score of competitors in the show is 26 knots in a minute, but typically 30 knots in a minute is passing the mark.
When Xu Chao, a doctor from a tertiary hospital, talked about Li Ziqi’s comments on Weibo, he used a metaphor to explain the medical circle’s understanding of the term “participated in level 4 surgery”. He said: “In clinical practice, medical students say that they have participated in Level 4 surgery. In the eyes of people in the medical circle, it is almost like saying that I am the ‘2008 Special Award Winner for Touching China’. I participated and I won the award.”
Li Ziqi previously responded to the seat selection segment on the show on Weibo, writing: “My real OS during the seat selection scene when we first met: Hurry up, I have participated in Level 4 surgery, so the retractor seal can be considered part of it.”
