"Some doctors are too unhappy and let me do the surgery that shouldn't have!"
Uncle Wang is 63 years old this year, and he is in good health. Then, some time ago, when he walked faster, he always felt chest tightness and and asthma, and in severe cases, he also had chest pain and . In order to figure out what was going on, Uncle Wang went to the hospital for treatment.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor fully understood Mr. Wang’s condition and suggested that he be hospitalized for coronary angiography examination. Uncle Wang felt that since he had come, he decided to follow the doctor's advice. After the examination results came out, the doctor suggested that Mr. Wang have heart stent surgery .
Uncle Wang couldn't accept the operation as soon as he heard about the operation, because he felt that his condition was not serious enough to have surgery. So, Uncle Wang went to a provincial-level tertiary hospital. After learning about Mr. Wang’s situation, the doctor at the provincial Grade A hospital told Mr. Wang: According to the results of the coronary angiography you have done, there is no need for surgery at present, but you need to take medicine on time + improve your lifestyle.
After hearing the doctor in the provincial Grade A hospital, a stone in his heart also fell. Uncle Wang felt that the doctor who went to the hospital was too dark, so he said the sentence at the beginning of the article.
In real life, there are indeed some surgeries that should not be performed and drugs that should not be taken. In order to give everyone more understanding and understanding of ineffective medical care, today the doctor will have a good idea to talk to you about the relevant knowledge.
1.What is invalid medical treatment?
is ineffective in medical treatment, as the name suggests, it means that some medical staff have taken unnecessary treatment measures to the patient or are not very consistent with the development of the patient. Judging from this definition alone, it is relatively abstract, and many friends are probably confused after reading it. To facilitate everyone's understanding, here I will take coronary heart disease as an example.
At present, one of the better treatment options for coronary heart disease is cardiac stent surgery. As long as the patient with coronary heart disease is not too serious, he or she can undergo heart stent surgery. Generally speaking, patients with coronary heart disease can significantly improve their symptoms after undergoing heart stent surgery.
Although heart stent surgery is more effective, it is not suitable for all patients with coronary heart disease. Some patients with coronary heart disease have coronary artery stenosis and are not severe, and there are no obvious symptoms. For such patients, heart stent surgery is not required.
Some patients may have symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain, but this is not necessarily coronary heart disease. Clinically, there is a disease called myocardial bridge . Patients with this disease will also experience symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain after intense activities. If you do not perform relevant examinations, you can easily be misdiagnosed as coronary heart disease. For patients with symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain, a clear diagnosis should be made first, and blind treatment is not possible.
This is not a one-time solution for patients who have undergone cardiac stent surgery. They also need to take antiplatelet drugs + lowering blood lipid drugs for a long time in the future. The purpose of this is to stabilize the plaque and reduce the risk of thrombosis.
has indications for heart stent surgery, but it did not do it; there was no indication for heart stent surgery, but it did heart stent surgery, etc., which are all ineffective medical treatment. Ineffective medical treatment, to put it bluntly, it means that unnecessary examinations or treatments have been performed.
2. Why is there an ineffective medical treatment? Many medicines do not need to be taken, and many surgeries should not be performed!
Objectively speaking, there are many reasons for ineffective medical treatment. However, in general, the reasons for ineffective medical treatment mainly include the following two points. The specific summary is as follows:
Although my country's medical level is relatively high, the distribution of medical resources is unbalanced, and the existence of ineffective medical treatment will only make the distribution of medical resources more unbalanced. Take Beijing as an example. As the capital of our country, it has relatively abundant medical resources; is different from Tibet, and its medical resources are relatively scarce.my country's medical resources are originally limited. If a part of them is wasted, it will definitely make medical resources even scarce.
At the same time, some patients' family conditions are not good in themselves. The existence of ineffective medical care will definitely increase the financial burden on patients. In my country, there are many divorces caused by high treatment costs. In addition, ineffective medical treatment will also increase the physical burden on patients, which will lead to worsening of the disease.
Speaking of this, some friends may ask, as ordinary people, how should we deal with ineffective medical treatment? Before answering this question, we need to understand that invalid medical care does not exist only in our country, but in the world, there are invalid medical care.
When we receive treatment, we also need to consider comprehensively based on our condition, family conditions, etc. is like Uncle Wang at the beginning of this article. If he did not go to another hospital later, Uncle Wang would have had a heart stent surgery. Although the safety risks of heart stent surgery are relatively high, this increases the financial burden and psychological pressure of Mr. Wang.
