Xiangya Hospital Something happened again.
Recently, a pair of parents found a black foreign object on the palate of the 11-month-old child. They spent 300 yuan to hang a special expert number in Xiangya and walked into the clinic with their child worriedly.
Unexpectedly, the expert was indifferent during the treatment process and rudely leaned on the child's head, which scared the child to cry loudly. At that time, the parents also "dare not to speak out."
Finally, the expert gave a very scary diagnosis conclusion: it is suspected to be a tumor, and it is recommended to be hospitalized for surgery.
It was a coincidence that due to the shortage of beds in Xiangya that day, she could not be admitted to the hospital. In order to seek peace of mind, the parents took the child to another hospital.
Doctor took a cotton swab and looked into the child's mouth for a while. In order to make the child widen his mouth and see more clearly, he also teased the child.
The child smiled and the "lumb" in his mouth fell down. It turned out that it was a lotus seed shell .
The parents were relieved, but at the same time they were shocked and sweated. He felt that the greatest luck for him and his children was that Xiangya did not have a bed at that time.
Some netizens commented: "This is in the most unfunny place, and the most funny thing happened."
Some people asked: "I am curious. If there is a bed and I find that the lotus seed shell fell after the operation, what should I do? Should I declare the operation successful as if everything did not happen, or should I notify the patient's family? Everything is wrong?"
More people questioned: "Can Xiangya Hospital go?"
Obviously, the concentrated exposure of a series of events in recent times has completely dropped Xiangya's reputation and public trust to the bottom...
Can Xiangya go?
In August this year, Xiangya deputy chief physician Liu Xiangfeng caused an earthquake in the medical community.
Removal of the patient's normal organs, using other people's organs and tissues to impersonate patients, coaxing patients without surgical indications to treat them at high cost... All kinds of outrageous behaviors have made Liu Xiangfeng a "demon doctor". Under the public opinion of
, Xiangya conducted a self-inspection and found out 15 medical staff's violations and punished them. The Liu Xiangfeng incident has not yet subsided, and Xiangya’s past medical accidents have been frequently exposed.
In November 2019, 34-year-old Xiao Lei was transferred to Xiangya from other hospitals due to infectious endocarditis .
After being admitted to the Department of Cardiology, the hospital repeatedly delayed while knowing that the patient had heart failure and needed immediate surgery.
Until December 3, Xiao Lei had completely lost consciousness, and the doctor performed the operation on him, but it was too late, and Xiao Lei eventually lost his life.
During this period, Xiao Lei lived in in intensive care unit for 22 days, and his family ran out of money and spent 540,000 yuan.
family believes that Xiao Lei’s death was entirely due to the delay in treatment in the hospital, and applied for medical identification .
identifiable document clearly confirmed that Xiangya's medical behavior was serious at fault, which directly led to Xiao Lei's death, constituting first-class medical accident .
The hospital proposed to compensate 400,000 yuan for private settlement, but Xiao Lei's family could not accept it at all. This compensation was not enough for medical expenses.
failed to make it privately, and the hospital asked the Chinese Medical Association to re-examine it. Until today, Xiao Lei's wife has long left this family, leaving only Xiao Lei's mother with her grandson, and continues to defend her rights.
In addition to delaying treatment, causing death, confusing the diagnosis and report causing a big mistake, Xiangya has also happened.
In December 2018, Ms. Duan of Changsha found that she had thyroid nodules during a physical examination. She went to Xiangya for puncture and genetic mutation test and was diagnosed with thyroid cancer . Half a month later, Ms. Duan underwent bilateral thyroidectomy in Xiangya.
When Ms. was on a follow-up examination one month after the operation, she found that the pathological report was not consistent with what she obtained before the operation.
Originally, Ms. Duan's gene detection report showed "no mutation", but the diagnostic report she obtained was "mutated", that is, Xiangya gave the reports of other patients to herself, and she was misdiagnosed as thyroid cancer. Before the operation, the department did not conduct a comprehensive examination and omitted the steps.
After Ms. Duan sued Xiangya, Xiangya was at fault for being diagnosed and treated and should bear Ms. Duan's losses.
Time goes back to 2007. The story of the 5-year-old boy Liao Mingming is still heartbreaking.
Liao Mingming comes from a rural family and his parents do odd jobs outside. When he was over 1 year old, Mingming's parents found that their children were a little lame when walking, and their right foot was shorter than their left foot.
When he was 5 years old, his parents came to Xiangya for medical treatment with the money he had accumulated through hardships and hope. The orthopedic doctor diagnosed right Achilles tendon contracture and performed the surgery. After the operation, the doctor told Liao Mingming that the operation was very successful. But when I returned to the ward, my mother found something was wrong: the child should have had a right foot surgery, but how did he perform the surgery on his left foot?
Right foot still looks sickly, but the left foot, which does not need to be extended, is longer. The difference between the child's feet is more obvious, and he is more limping.
The attending doctor had to apologize, saying that it was because the child was general anesthesia at that time and was lying down during the operation. He didn't pay attention for the moment and did the wrong foot.
The hospital admitted its mistake and also asked Mingming for an expert consultation. It turned out that Mingming had cerebral palsy and had brain incomplete development, and there were actually problems with both feet.
If such a consultation is performed before the operation, the family will think that the hospital’s diagnosis is meticulous, but if you do this after a medical accident, it will inevitably make people both angry and confused.
Similar accidents, one by one, one by one...
Xiangya, this is the first medical school jointly organized by my country three years earlier than Union establishment in Union. It was once famous for "a history of Xiangya, half of the history of Western medicine", and it was known as "Northern Union and South Xiangya", but now it is covered with dust and dirt, which is really sad.
Fear stems from information asymmetry
Xiangya has successively exposed medical accidents. For a time, patients and families who have been treated in Xiangya or are receiving treatment in Xiangya are in danger.
It is said that in recent times, no matter what kind of treatment plan the doctor has given, the patients and their families will ask and question it many times with an extremely skeptical attitude.
It can be seen how panicked everyone is. After the incident of Liu Xiangfeng came out, netizens said angrily: "How many unjust species have been ruthlessly castrated by Xiangya in those years?" After the incident of
Lotus seed shells came out, many people were helpless and surprised: "What is Xiangya doing?"
Xiangya incident continued to ferment, the focus extending from Liu Xiangfeng's scandal and atrocities to the director's love secrets; from hospital insurance fraud many years ago to later corruption cases. The entire Xiangya Group is in crisis, and negative news from the past is presented again.
The sound of Xiangya's decline comes one after another.
A hot topic appeared on the Internet: Will a bad doctor lead the entire Xiangya system to collapse?
answers different opinions.
It is said that many Xiangya doctors have already "prove their innocence" on their circle of friends.
A hospital has reached the point where it wants its own doctor to "prove its innocence", which undoubtedly adds insult to the already tense doctor-patient relationship.
Market economy There is a " Information Asymmetry Theory " in the activities of . It refers to the fact that various types of people have different understandings of relevant information. People with sufficient information will often be in a relatively favorable position; while people with poor information will be in a relatively unfavorable position.
Looking around us, the information asymmetry phenomenon is simply everywhere, and the most obvious part is in the doctor-patient relationship.
The professionalism of medical knowledge itself is difficult for us ordinary people to understand and obtain. Therefore, whenever we come to the doctor, we are mostly in a position of absolute obedience. We have no choice or we can tell.
When we deliver our own or family’s health to the doctor, we will feel a little nervous because we don’t understand and because we need it.
Because of this, once there is a black material in the hospital, it is easy to cause strong responses in the society. Everyone has empathy. Although things happen to others, they are like cut on us, and everyone is in danger.
Most of the time, the most sad thing about one thing is not how many times it has happened, but how many times we are not sure whether it will happen again or how many times it will happen.
Uncertainty is the biggest enemy of security; lack of hope is the greatest despair.
eases the conflict between doctor and patient. There is a long way to go
The doctor-patient relationship is so tense that no one of us wants to see it.
For patients, they lose their trust in the doctor and all subsequent treatments are carried out in doubt. How can they try their best to cooperate with the doctor to achieve the best treatment effect?
For doctors, they work diligently, because of the behavior of a few unscrupulous doctors, they keep being questioned. Over time, it will make people feel cold.
Nowadays, medical staff are walking on thin ice. If there is a slight mistake, they will inevitably be examined by people with a magnifying glass.
Xiangya's problem is not a problem of someone, but the public's inner fear of this hospital, which then rises to the whole society's concern for the doctor-patient relationship.
How to get the doctor-patient relationship back to normal track has a long way to go.
Nowadays, good medical resources in my country are very scarce, and there are only a few particularly famous experts in one field, which makes patients squeezed out. In every large hospital, hundreds of people are queuing up for registration.
First-class experts, cutting-edge equipment, and advanced diagnosis and treatment technology are all run.
But this is also normal. After all, almost no one can be rational in the face of life and health.
As National Health Commission said: "It is not difficult to see a doctor, but it is difficult to see a doctor in a large hospital."
This also causes the work intensity of front-line doctors in large hospitals to be too strong and the importance of their positions has been severely entrusted.
Over time, it is easy to have poor attitude, impatientness, misdiagnosis, and even unable to withstand temptation and go wrong paths.
However, the problem of uneven allocation of medical resources requires time and corresponding mechanisms, and gradually reform.
Before this, as a doctor who has mastered the health of patients for many years, it was particularly important to strengthen the construction of his own medical ethics and medical style.
Ming Dynasty medical practitioner Pei Yizhong once said: "Those who are not talented and whose hearts are not close to Buddha must not be a doctor to mislead the world."
Homething is close to immortals depends on diligence and talent; whether virtue is close to Buddha depends on a conscience.
Since I have chosen such a special profession, I also hope that every doctor can keep the last bottom line of the angel in white.
