Feng Yu's family said that the patient is currently in the advanced stage of kidney cancer, and another 8cm cancer suppository has been treated at the Xi'an International Medical Center (hereinafter referred to as the Medical Center). The medical center is close to Feng Yu's home and convenient treatment, and he used to be admitted to the hospital every 21 days to check and adjust the treatment plan.
Feng Yu's family provided medical record information: ultrasound suggested that the patient could see 7.3*2.4*2.8cm cancer suppositories in the middle of the inferior vena cava
Feng Yu's family provided medical record information: the patient's right lower kidney mass lesion considered kidney cancer, the right lobe of the liver considered metastases, and the double lung multiple metastases
However, the hospital was notified yesterday (January 13) to be closed for 3 months, because "the mechanical implementation of relevant epidemic prevention policies before the hospital delayed the rescue and diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients, which aroused widespread concern in public opinion and caused serious consequences". This day was supposed to be the day when Feng Yu was hospitalized again, and when he suddenly saw the news of the suspension on the news, his family couldn't believe it.

"When I first saw what I thought was fake news, how could I say stop and stop?" They immediately contacted the hospital, and after the doctor helplessly confirmed the news, he advised the patient to contact other triage hospitals quickly and not delay treatment.
Feng Yu's family has made more than 50 consecutive phone calls, contacted more than 7 hospitals, some phones can't be called, some don't know the diversion policy to ask a number themselves, some online appointment registration system upgrades, some full staff can not be received, some because his Chang'an District is still a medium-risk area does not accept... "We have been treated here for a while, the main treatment has been very familiar with the condition, but which three months can wait for advanced patients?"
At the end of the day, none of the triage hospitals that had been contacted could give Feng Yu a bed.
The phone call did not work, and Feng Yu's family could only re-make an online appointment, waiting for the doctor and queuing for admission. "Patients with advanced cancer need to constantly adjust their plans according to the previous treatment situation combined with the results of each review, and all medical records and information are shut down in the hospital, not as simple as changing to a hospital for treatment."
This morning, Changan Netinfo left a message below Feng Yu's Weibo saying that "it has paid attention to and transferred it to relevant units for fine-tuning." As of 17:43 tonight, when Feng Yu's family was contacted, he was still waiting for a reply from other hospitals.
"I hung up my own number, and some hospitals contacted me," but the hospital that contacted him said it was still coordinating the beds, and there was no further news for the time being, "We are still waiting."
At the same time as the closure of the two hospitals, the Office of the Xi'an Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters issued the "Work Plan for Ensuring normal medical treatment for the masses during the suspension of two hospitals in the High-tech Zone", which mentioned that it is necessary to "do a good job in patient placement and medical protection" and "focus on ensuring that special patients seek medical treatment, do a good job in patient explanation, and reasonably divert them to other hospitals for treatment".
