In the course of his treatment by a herbalist who had undertaken to cure his disability, a mildly spastic retarded four-year-old child was immersed in a heap of fermenting horse manure for 40 minutes. He was unconscious when removed and died two days later despite intensive care in a children's hospital. When medical aid was sought a false history was given and the true nature of the child's illness, heat stroke, was not determined until after death. The herbalist was subsequently convicted of manslaughter.
在一名承诺治愈其残疾的草药医生对一名四岁轻度痉挛性智障儿童的治疗过程中，该儿童被浸泡在一堆发酵的马粪中长达40分钟。被救出时他已失去意识，尽管在一家儿童医院接受了重症监护，两天后仍不幸死亡。寻求医疗救助时给出了虚假病史，直到孩子死后才确定其真正病因是中暑。该草药医生随后被判过失杀人罪。
