  • Renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Li Weiyu has left Taichung's Li General Hospital, causing concern among patients.
  • Dr. Li announced he will join the Fengyuan branch of Asia University Hospital.
  • His former hospital respects his decision and offers well wishes.

A prominent neurosurgeon, Dr. Li Weiyu, has departed from Taichung's Li General Hospital, a move that has stirred discussion and concern among his patients in the Haixian and Dajia areas.

Dr. Li, known for his expertise, announced on Facebook that he will be joining the Fengyuan branch of Asia University Hospital. His departure from Li General Hospital was reportedly due to a lack of consensus on contract renewal. Many patients expressed their sadness and support for Dr. Li on social media, with some even stating they would travel to Fengyuan to continue receiving his care.

In his social media post, Dr. Li shared a fortune stick reading from Zhenlan Temple, interpreting it as a sign of clarity and a bright future ahead. He expressed gratitude for the unwavering trust from his patients and the warm invitations from hospital presidents and friends, which he described as the "brightest moonlight illuminating the path forward."

Dr. Li also detailed his transition plan. While awaiting the completion of the Fengyuan branch, he will hold consultations at two other locations between September and December to ensure continuity of care for his patients. Li General Hospital stated that they respect Dr. Li's decision and wish him well in his new role.

I have confirmed that I will be joining Asia University Hospital (Fengyuan Branch). Considering that treatment and follow-ups cannot be interrupted before the branch is completed, I will be opening clinics at the following two locations during the transition period from September to December: Asia University Hospital's Feng-Zhong Branch and Wufeng Branch.
