After Xi’an was closed, an 8-month-old pregnant woman had an abortion because the hospital refused to see a doctor; a man who suffered from angina pectoris died unfortunately because the hospital refused to see a doctor and missed the best time for treatment. The hospitals involved in the two life lawsuits are Xi’an High-tech Hospital and Xi’an International Medical Center Hospital.
Due to the turbulent public opinion on the Internet, the Xi’an Municipal Health and Health Commission quickly issued the latest notice, saying that Xi’an High-tech Hospital and Xi’an International Medical Center Hospital failed to perform their duties of saving lives and helping the wounded, and the social impact was bad. After research, these two hospitals were closed for 3 months for rectification, and reopened after the rectification was passed.
However, netizens did not buy into the government’s suspension of the hospital’s business: “I disapprove, a private hospital cannot be blamed for industry problems, and many public hospitals refused to see a doctor first”, “Where do those patients who have closed their business go to see a doctor? It is difficult to see a doctor in the first place. , is now creating an even greater humanitarian catastrophe.”
At the same time, there are also cancer patients who are unable to receive follow-up treatment due to hospital closures.
The WeChat public account “Lilac Garden” published an article on January 14, pointing out that Feng Yu (pseudonym) is a patient with advanced kidney cancer with an 8cm tumor thrombus. He had been receiving treatment at Xi’an International Medical Center Hospital before. Due to his proximity to home and the convenience of treatment, he would be admitted to the hospital every 21 days to check and adjust the treatment plan.
January 13 was the day when Feng Yu was admitted to the hospital again, but the hospital was notified on the 13th to suspend business for rectification. “I thought it was fake news when I first saw it, how could I just say stop and stop.” The news was reluctantly confirmed by the doctor, but suggested Quickly contact other shunt hospitals, do not delay treatment.
Feng Yu’s family made more than 50 consecutive phone calls and contacted more than 7 hospitals. Some of them couldn’t get through, some who didn’t know the triage policy and asked for a number by themselves, some who were in the process of upgrading the online reservation and registration system, and some who couldn’t receive them when they were full. It is because the Chang’an District where he lives is not accepted by the medium-risk area, etc. “We have been treating here for a period of time, and the attending doctor has a very good understanding of the disease, but how can patients with advanced stage wait for three months?” After one day, there was no one. The triage hospital contacted can give Feng Yu a bed.
It has been nearly 24 hours since Feng Yu’s family posted a distress message on Weibo at about 9 pm on January 13, and he is still waiting for a hospital to have a bed to treat him.
Not only Feng Yu had this experience, Professor Guo Shuzhong, the chief doctor of the plastic surgery department of Xi’an International Medical Center, one of the closed hospitals, posted on Weibo on the same day that he had 117 patients with microtia in urgent need of second-stage surgery, but he was “suddenly”. Banned Knife”. He was very anxious and “felt very sorry for these patients.
After Professor Guo Shuzhong’s Weibo post was published, it received the attention and support of a large number of netizens in a short period of time, demanding that the Xi’an government take responsibility and solve the problem of “difficulty in seeing a doctor”. #Xi’an Punished Hospital Doctor Says I’m Sorry for the Patient# was once on Weibo’s hot search and was reported by many media.
On January 14, Guo Shuzhong posted on Weibo again, saying that he had just received a notice that after “in-depth communication” between the Xi’an Municipal Health Commission and the hospital leaders, he approved the operation for these children in the hospital.
Under this Weibo and related media reports, netizens still expressed anger and incomprehension at the management of the CCP virus epidemic by the Xi’an Municipal Government and the Health and Health Commission, and continued to call on the Xi’an Health and Health Commission to withdraw the penalties imposed on these two private hospitals. It was decided to let the hospital resume business: “As a pregnant woman who has more than 1 month to give birth, I have been here for maternity examinations and suddenly closed for 3 months. Where can we find a hospital? Northwest Maternity and Children? First Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University? I switched here because there are too many people who don’t like the disease. I really don’t understand what this operation is. The whole high-tech zone is only a tertiary hospital. Can the government consider the feelings of the people when making decisions? It’s a one size fits all, really speechless What happened to Xi’an?”
“It was originally supposed to be operated, but now it needs special approval. I really thank the leaders of wjw (Health and Health Commission).[狗头]”
“Weibo is all about treating illnesses and saving lives. If we don’t have Weibo, what would happen to these 100+ children. We should be most grateful for Weibo.[狗头]”
“If there is no difficulty, make it difficult[捂脸]”
“The epidemic in Xi’an relies entirely on Weibo, and scolding solves one problem at a time.”
One-size-fits-all announcement of hospital closures before patients have nowhere to go
According to Radio Free Asia, citing people familiar with the matter, thousands of dialysis (kidney dialysis) and surgeries and other hospitalized patients were immediately thrown into trouble because the government suddenly ordered two hospitals to temporarily close. At present, neither the hospital nor the patient, or even the health and health committees at all levels in Shaanxi, have taken measures to deal with the aftermath.
The report pointed out that the Shaanxi Provincial Epidemic Prevention Headquarters, in response to the reporter’s inquiries, admitted that the Gaoxin Hospital was one of the designated dialysis hospitals in Xi’an during the CCP virus epidemic. Therefore, the closure resulted in the transfer of a large number of patients to other hospitals. She said that at present, the government plans to open a dialysis ward in the affiliated hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University to divert these dialysis patients. But she said none of that was conclusive.
