Let's try getting a better sense of what must be going through the minds of those who survived
- those who went through this traumatic experience as well as the mental and psychological status
of those affected by this disaster.
For that, Dr. Andrew T.A.
Cheng, Professor at Academia Sinica joins us live from Taipei, Taiwan.
Dr. Andrew Cheng, thank you for joining us.
The focus has largely been on the accident itself and search and rescue operations...
but also critical are the psychological status of those who survived this tragic accident.
Based on your medical expertise, what are they going through and what needs to
be done?
What about those who are left behind?
The families of the victims, the devastated parents, as well as students from the affected
high school ? even if not directly affected by
this disaster - will go back to classrooms that will be noticeably emptier.
How should they be treated?
The entire nation is mourning the loss from this
tragic accident.
The general public here in Korea has been following news of this ferry tragedy...
many in disbelief, sadness... anger and despair.
What as a nation do we need to do to overcome this experience and move forward?
Dr. Andrew T.A.
Cheng, Professor at Academia Sinica all the way from Taipei, Taiwan - thank you for speaking
with us today.
