Also concerning the disaster relief work,

People from across the country are paying a visit to those injured in the devastating quake, offering various kinds of help.

But while patients are frequently visited by officials, journalists, stars and volunteers, the Beijing News carries a commentary saying that too many visits may affect the patients' healing.

The paper points out, time is now precious for both patients and doctors. Regular visits to patients may interfere with their rest.

Moreover, doctors also have to find time to detail patients' conditions to visitors, which delays their treatment.

The paper argues that it is not necessary for people to come forward to express their concerns and affection to patients. It goes on to say that even if some visits are necessary, people should come at appropriate times.

Some officials have been reported to be visiting injured people late in evening. The paper says that it will not benefit patients' health. When patients learn that people are going to drop by, they often feel obliged to be polite and welcome visitors. But this can do more harm than good.

In addition, the article says that journalist should try to avoid using flash photography and videos as this can also affect patients' health.

As many patients are suffering from intense psychological stress, the paper says, it is often unhelpful to encourage them to repeatedly relive the traumatic events of May 12.

The paper adds there are many ways people can show their concern other than going directly to visit the patients. The article suggests people extend their best wishes through medical staff and patients' family members.
