Recently, after Ms. Fu of Chongqing Changshou District examined her body at the local maternal and child health care and fertility service center, the hospital pharmacy actually issued "fetal protection drugs" as "anti-cancer drugs". Although the hospital admitted that it was wrong with itself, it was necessary to pay the lady and her family to make a choice about the "where to stay" of the fetus in the abdomen.
On the morning of January 14, Cover News contacted Ms. Fu and her husband, Mr. Zeng. Since Ms. Fu was so devastated by this incident that she was too painful to communicate with outsiders, Mr. Zeng said on behalf of his wife: "This child is not easy to get, and now there is no way to make a choice!" ”
Chongqing Changshou District Maternal and Child Health Care and Maternity Service Center
The hospital gave the wrong medicine
Pregnant women are afraid of fetal protection and "beating the fetus"
Mr. Zeng's "no choice" was caused by his wife, Ms. Fu, 29, taking the wrong medicine prescribed by the hospital! Two months ago, Ms. Fu found out that she was pregnant, which made the two children very happy. But the happiness of having a baby came to an abrupt end on January 2.
On the same day, Ms. Fu accompanied by her family to the Longevity District Maternal and Child Health Care and Fertility Service Center to check her body, the doctor diagnosed her with signs of miscarriage, suggested fetal preservation, and prescribed a prescription for fetal preservation. Unexpectedly, Ms. Fu received a call from the hospital at more than 7 p.m., and the other party said that "the drug was wrong"! Unfortunately, Ms. Fu had already taken the wrong drug at this time.
Mr. Zeng said that at that time, the doctor's prescription for his wife was: progesterone soft capsules and kidney fertility pills. However, the pharmacy staff mistakenly issued the "progesterone soft capsule" as "torrimifene citrate tablets", which is a drug for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, which clearly shows in its instructions: pregnant women are banned.
"It also says the dosage to be taken every day, one capsule twice a day." Ms. Fu said, "I am pregnant for the first time, I have no experience, I don't know the name of each drug, what the specific effect is, and I took the medicine with full trust in the hospital." ”
After Ms. Fu learned that she had taken the medicine she should not take, she went to the hospital and asked for treatment of possible problems. The Maternal and Child Health and Fertility Service Center of Changshou District admitted their mistakes in their work and apologized to the lady. As for the solution, the hospital side gave two choices: one is to keep the fetus, the doctor of the center said that if they choose to keep the fetus, they will conduct regular obstetric examinations on the fetus, and if the fetus is found to have deformities or diseases, the disease that can be corrected will be corrected, but the risk is shared by the hospital and Ms. Fu; the second is to miscarry Ms. Fu and beat the fetus.
Ms. Fu took the wrong medicine for pregnant women banned "toremifene citrate tablets".
The doctor prescribes the name of the drug as "progesterone softgels and kidney fertility pills".
The hospital suggested that "it is best not to have children"
The parties could not accept the near collapse
On January 14, cover news came to Changshou to contact Ms. Fu and her husband, Mr. Zeng, told the cover news reporter that in the morning, they communicated with the Longevity District Maternal and Child Health and Fertility Service Center, the Longevity District Health Commission, and an obstetrics and gynecology expert from the main city of Chongqing.
At the same time, the expert also consulted with the local doctor of longevity against the lady. Experts told Ms. Fu and her husband that because the torrimifen citrate tablets taken by Ms. Fu did not have clinical data on pregnant women taking them in the process of research and development, it was impossible to estimate what consequences would occur after taking them.
Through the inquiry, the cover news reporter learned that the disease targeted by torimifene citrate tablets is "estrogen receptor-positive or ominous metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women". At the same time, the drug instructions clearly state that this product has been found to have reproductive toxicity in animal tests. Due to the lack of data on the use of this product by pregnant and lactating women, this product is contraindicated in women during this period.
Therefore, whether to keep the fetus, the hospital gave this choice to Ms. Fu and her family.
However, such a choice is extremely difficult for Ms. Fu and her husband. "Because my wife was more emotional, she kept crying, and she simply did the consultation and went home." Mr. Zeng also introduced to the cover news reporter that at the consultation meeting, the hospital insisted that the choice was on Ms. Fu's side, and other issues had not yet been discussed. The obstetrician and gynecologist of the Maternal and Child Health and Maternity Service Center of Changshou District said, "No matter which way you choose to solve the problem, the hospital has a corresponding plan." ”
"The hospital let us make our own choices, they tended to advise us not to, but this child is very difficult to come by, we have no idea how to make this choice, my wife is now in a very unstable emotional state, and even has a tendency to depression, she must be taken care of, she is crying when she talks about this matter, there is no way to tell outsiders about it." Mr. Zeng also said with great pain.
A medical industry insider in Chongqing told cover news that the responsibility for the whole thing should be borne by the hospital. In the current situation of the general improvement of the level of hospital intelligence, the occurrence of the wrong drug, it can basically judge the hospital pharmacy management, and there are flaws in some links, but how to characterize the incident and who is responsible for it also needs the competent department to make a conclusion after making a full investigation. He reasoned that the most stressful at the moment "must be the pharmacist who sent the wrong medicine and the entire pharmacy department." In addition, the industry insider also said that Ms. Fu's removal of the fetus is the best result for the hospital, "because the fetus is once and for all, and the fetus is retained, and it is not clear what will happen in the future."
Liu Xiaocan of Chongqing Leili Law Firm said that the incident can basically be concluded to be a medical accident, "this kind of civil dispute is to apologize and make economic compensation, but because the direct consequences cannot be determined, the specific amount of compensation against the lady is really difficult to determine, and it is necessary for both parties and even the competent department to negotiate and deal with it." ”
