The China-Japan Friendship Hospital on Sunday night issued a statement regarding a complaint against Dr. Xiao, an associate chief physician in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, following allegation of personal misconduct and medical ethics violations. The hospital decided to terminate employment with the doctor, according to the statement.

Previously, Xiao's wife filed a real-name report alleging that Xiao engaged in affairs with multiple women during their marriage and had left the operating room for extended periods, neglecting anesthetized patients due to emotional reasons, according to media reports. The incident subsequently sparked discussion on social media.

The hospital attached great importance to the matter, immediately launched an investigation, and promptly suspended Xiao from duty, according to the statement. Upon verification, the allegations regarding Xiao's personal misconduct were found to be largely  true. 

In accordance with relevant regulations, the hospital decided to expelled Xiao from the Communist Party of China and terminate his employment, the statement said.
