According to media reports relayed by the Civil Supervision Health Insurance Alliance, a woman surnamed Wu, 165438+ 10, went to Kaohsiung Nguyen General Hospital for surgery at the end of October, and her postoperative abdominal pain was severe. However, her family asked the nursing station for medical assistance nine times before and after, but they did not respond, resulting in the death of the patient. Family members even accused the hospital of being prescribed by the intern "Bobo", and even the intern on duty who was sent to inspect the ward may be a Taiwan Province student who graduated from Polish medical department.
Interns are not doctors.
Teng Xihua, spokesman of the Civil Supervision Health Insurance Alliance, pointed out that interns are "not doctors" but "students". According to the relevant provisions of the Medical Law and the Physician Law, interns can not provide medical services including diagnosis, treatment and prescription alone, but only under the guidance and confirmation of residents or attending physicians, and can not be on duty alone.
In addition, according to relevant laws and regulations, interns must wear relevant certificates for identification during their internship, and patients can even refuse interns to provide medical care and services. However, Kaohsiung Ruan General Hospital put the blame on Bobo, which is undoubtedly a shift of focus and an attempt to shirk the responsibility.
Patient safety becomes a slogan.
In particular, the safety and well-being of patients is the primary task of medical staff, and all medical staff must be cautious about any situation that threatens the safety of patients, which cannot be ignored or sheltered. Therefore, at the beginning of the legislation of the Law on Handling Medical Disputes, we called on all sectors of society to care about how the system compensates patients, and more importantly, the debugging mechanism to prevent recidivism.
Teng Xihua pointed out that it is heartbreaking that the woman surnamed Wu was so weak and painful before her death, but the hospital handed it over to an intern who was also treating amblyopia. Afterwards, she even tried to brand the patient "heroin addiction" in the diagnosis of death. This inaction and indifference to patient safety is a serious "medical violence", which once again shows that patient safety has become a slogan in terms of system and essence.
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's response: comprehensive review
In the face of criticism and doubts from the alliance of civil supervision and health insurance, Wang Zongxi, deputy director of the Medical Department of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, responded that interns are not qualified independent doctors and must engage in medical activities under the guidance of qualified doctors. Teaching hospitals cannot take interns as formal manpower.
At present, the whole case has entered the stage of judicial investigation. Ruan integrated whether the doctors on duty and attending doctors were present on that day. In addition to asking the local health bureau to interview and investigate, he has started an immediate and irregular hospital evaluation to investigate teaching and administration. If the allegations are true, Kaohsiung Nguyen General Hospital may be downgraded to the hospital level, and the relevant medical staff who neglect their duties will be severely punished.
