The sad abortion of pregnant women in Xi'an finally has the official investigation results. According to the "Xi'an Release" news on January 6: Recently, a maternal abortion incident in Xi'an High-tech Hospital has aroused widespread concern in society and caused a bad social impact. On January 5, experts organized by the Health Commission of Shaanxi Province and Xi'an City conducted an investigation and determined that the incident was a liability accident.
In addition to identifying the incident as a liability accident, the circular also emphasized that the hospital involved was instructed to do a good job in postoperative rehabilitation treatment, reassurance and compensation for patients; actively reflect on and sort out the hidden dangers in the work process, further strengthen hospital management, and optimize the treatment process. In addition, the relevant departments and agencies have also dealt with the relevant responsible persons. Including Fan Yu, general manager of Xi'an High-tech Hospital, was suspended, the relevant responsible persons of the outpatient department and medical department were dismissed; Li Qiang, deputy secretary and director of the party general branch of the Xi'an Emergency Center, and Liu Shunzhi, director of the Xi'an Municipal Health Commission, were given warnings within the party.
Apologize, appease compensation, optimize the medical process, pursue responsibility... The investigation and handling of the accident can be regarded as an explanation to the parties concerned and their families and society. Moreover, at the press conference on epidemic prevention and control on January 5, the relevant personnel of the Xi'an Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention clearly proposed that no hospital should affect patient visits on the grounds of epidemic prevention and control, and open a green channel for pregnant women and other groups. However, the cost of such an after-the-fact improvement in exchange for a pregnant woman's miscarriage is too great.
Against the backdrop of two years of epidemic prevention and control, why did such a tragedy occur? According to reports, the pregnant woman involved could not be admitted to the hospital due to nucleic acid problems, and waited from 8 pm to more than 10 o'clock in the evening, during which there was heavy bleeding, which eventually led to the miscarriage of the fetus at 8 months. During the epidemic period, especially in the epidemic area, admission to nucleic acid testing is a routine operation, but also to ensure the safety of other patients and medical staff, but in the face of sudden disease patients, time is life, because nucleic acid testing delays patient treatment, which is undoubtedly the end of the game, but also obviously violates the "people first" and "life first" epidemic prevention principles.
What's more, the Xi'an High-tech Hospital involved is not only a provincial-level designated treatment hospital for hemodialysis (hemofiltration) of isolation and control personnel, but also a provincial-level designated treatment hospital for gastrointestinal bleeding, extracardiac surgery, and maternal delivery during the epidemic prevention period. Such a tragedy in such a "professional" designated treatment hospital with heavy responsibilities is even more shocking. The emergence of the tragedy, whether it is because of the rigidity of the implementation of the relevant regulations, or the poor connection of the relevant links, after the accountability, I am afraid that there is a need for a more comprehensive review, in order to truly avoid the recurrence of the tragedy.
Introduction to the official website of Xi'an High-tech Hospital
It is worth noting that although this case has received a positive response because of its extreme pain, in addition, are there some tragedies and signs of tragedy that have not been fully confronted? For example, shortly after the exposure of the abortion incident of the pregnant woman, on January 5, some Xi'an netizens exposed a similar experience, saying that his father had sudden angina at noon on January 2, during which he was refused to ask for help from many local hospitals, and was not accepted by the hospital for surgery until more than 10 p.m. Whether such a case is true, whether the refusal of the hospital involved complies with the regulations, and where the problem lies, the local government should also actively intervene in the investigation and fill in the gaps accordingly.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Xi'an, it has faced various thorny problems, and it is understandable that the local area is under great pressure. But the tragedy of life that could have been avoided cannot in any way be without profound reflection and action for improvement. Epidemic prevention is to maintain the safety of life, but the "secondary disasters" brought about by this process may also threaten the safety of life. Epidemic prevention has entered its third year, and there are already many similar lessons, and it really should not be repeated again and again. We hope that Xi'an will come out of the haze of the epidemic as soon as possible, and we hope that in this process, every life will receive the kind treatment it deserves. The phrase "man is the end, not the means," should not be a fleeting slogan, but should fall into every policy, every implementation.
Of course, at least in the short term, we will continue to live in the epidemic prevention scene, not only Xi'an, but any city, not only hospitals, but any institution, should learn from the tragedy.
