Yang Mengyin, the former director of Zhongrong Neurosurgery oncology, and Zheng Wenyu, the former director of minimally invasive neurosurgery, allowed three medical material manufacturers to perform intervertebral disc and lumbar joint surgeries on patients since 2023. In September, the Taichung District Court sentenced five of them to probation. The verdict revealed that the two manufacturers who performed the surgeries for the patients had high school or junior college degrees. After trial, the Taichung District Court sentenced Yang Mengyin to April 1 year and Zheng Wenyu to one year and February for violating the Physician Act. They were both sentenced to four years of probation.
