"Knife on Colleague's Back" Physician Community Bullying...The government commissioned an investigation.

The government has asked the police to investigate after a series of personal thefts and accusations against doctors guarding medical sites in an online anonymous community of doctors.

A, who works as a general practitioner, posted a post titled "Exposing the collective lynching in the doctor's community," and the photos showed doctors threatening and swearing while disclosing A's personal information for nearly a month.

The finished photos included criticisms such as "dumb" and "Are you excited to put a knife in your colleagues' back?" and even abusive language against A's parents.

Mr. A said that due to the prolonged medical gap, he is working as a general practitioner for economic reasons, and since then, bullying has continued in communities where only doctors can join.

At the same time, he filed a complaint because he wanted the person leading the harm to be legally punished, and appealed to the anonymous community to allow the victim to identify the perpetrator through the revision of the law.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare explained that it requested the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency to investigate so that it could check the post and launch an investigation quickly.
