depend onxiao zhan The TV series “Small Town Remedy” starring it has been popular recently.weibo Big V and the former deputy chief physician of Zhejiang Aid to Xinjiang Surgery, “White Shanmao”, posted a criticism, saying that he “watched it for a few minutes” and found that the plot of “Small Town Recipe” is unprofessional, has nothing to do with medicine, and is also misleading and harmful to society. This criticism caused dissatisfaction among the producers of “Small Town Recipe”, Shanghai Ningmeng Films, and sued “White Lynx” in court for spreading false remarks. This led to a controversy “Can I sue if I think the show is not good?” And related topics top the list of hot searches.
According to widespread media reports, “White Bobcat” published an article on the 27th criticizing the show as “a melodrama in white coats that has nothing to do with medicine.” He said he “watched it casually for a few minutes” and raised several questions, including: the male protagonist performed a craniotomy without a license after being fired from his job, which is suspected of violating the “Physicians Act”; The terminology “ventricular hematoma” is unprofessional; And the use of metronidazole powder to treat rhinitis is socially harmful, etc.
This critical article aroused the dissatisfaction of Fang Ningmeng Film and Television, the producer of “Small Town Recipe”. On October 30, he officially hired a law firm to file a lawsuit against “White Bobcat”, accusing him of making false statements, which seriously damaged the reputation of the series and significantly lowered the business reputation and social evaluation of Ningmeng Film and Television. They asked the other party to publicly apologize and compensate for the losses, and responded that the male protagonist was expelled instead of revoking his license, and the conspiracy asked the dean to complete the practice change procedures; The metronidazole segment in the drama was a negative teaching material, and some characters refuted it on the spot, but the clip was stopped and broadcast and misled.
The drama’s official Weibo account was pinned to Rights Protection Weibo and said that rational discussion is welcome and people can enjoy watching the drama. Supporters emphasized that the show hired 76 medical consultants and was accredited by many employed medical staff.
“White Shanmao” responded that it was “completely unfair” to take him to court. It is believed that the producers of the series were CCTV, Ningmeng and iQiyi. His comments did not include Ningmeng’s goodwill. Ningmeng’s separate prosecution and disregard for public opinion were considered violations. It has also hired a law firm to study and has reserved the right to sue Ningmeng and Xingquan Law Firm for damaging its reputation.
A related topic topped the trending list yesterday, sparking controversy over whether criticism of the storyline crossed legal limits. Some netizens supported the producer in filing the lawsuit, while others believed that “it would be an exaggeration to criticize the show if it is not good.”
Some lawyers pointed out that film and television works themselves are not civil subjects, and that what is protected by Ningmeng is goodwill rather than “word-of-mouth” of the series. Evaluating the plot directly is fair criticism, but fabricating plots that do not exist in the series, or using criticism to disparage the creator’s personality, may be considered a violation. The higher the blogger’s professional status and traffic, the higher the verification obligation. The direction of the case depends on whether the listeners can prove that goodwill was actually damaged, and whether the “white lynx” comments crossed the line of factual statements.
Elephant News quoted Li Xiong, deputy chief physician of the department of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery at Wuhan University’s Zhongnan Hospital, as reminding only to watch dramatic scenes and never imitate them. Metronidazole is an antibiotic, not a medicine for rhinitis. Grinding the powder and putting it in the nose will not only cure the disease, but can also irritate the nasal mucosa, which can cause allergies or even damage.
