"Omnipotent Doctor" Sentenced 15-year Imprisonment

Hu Wanlin, a self-promoted "omnipotent doctor" in central China's Henan Province, was sentenced 15 years in prison, deprived of five years of political rights and levied a fine of 150,000 yuan for illegally practicing medicine.

According to Henan provincial Higher People's Court's investigation, Hu was born in the city of Mianyang, Sichuan Province. He practiced medicine illegally in the northern Shanxi Province and northwestern Shaanxi Province from July 1997 to February 1998, and was banned by local authorities.

Wang Baoran, a Henan engineer with a kidney dysfunction died as a result of Hu's traditional Chinese medicine on December 16, 1997.

Hu went to Henan in June 1998 to continue practicing medicine after the ban on his practice in Shaanxi. During the period, Liu Famin, mayor of Luohe city in Henan, who had liver cancer, died from using Hu's prescription medicine after taking it for four days. He Suyun, a retired teacher in Shangqiu, also died for the same reason on October 1.

Hu's illegal practice of medicine resulted in several deaths, which broke related laws. The court decided on a stern punishment for him considering the serious consequences and great impact on society.
