Recently, the girl's disease-free has been pushed onto the operating table and become the focus of public opinion. In this regard, Shaanxi Ankang issued an official notice saying: Ankang Xing'an Hospital examines and operates on minors without guardians accompanying and signing, and there are problems such as irregular management, inadequate notification, and improper medical ethics. The hospital has been suspended for rectification, the president has been interviewed and ordered to resign, and the vice president of business, the director of the department and the doctor Cao X have also been ordered to deal with it seriously. The patient and his family have reached a consensus with the hospital.
Judging from the briefing, although the local authorities denied that "girls are not sick", which is the most concerned point of public opinion, and characterized the matter as irregular management and improper medical ethics, however, as more and more information was exposed, the public's doubts about the hospitals involved were not quelled. According to the family, after the operation began, the hospital involved had let the patient borrow money to pay the operation fee, and the official notice did not explain another core issue that this netizen was concerned about.
Although the doctors and patients are now on the same page, this does not mean that the regulatory authorities can be the treasurer. Judging from media reports, the hospital actually had suspected violations of the law before changing a signboard, changing its name and reopening to evade supervision.
For example, in May 2018, Ankang Xing'an Hospital was fined 10,000 yuan by the Ankang Municipal Market Supervision Bureau for illegally publishing medical advertisements; in June of the same year, Ankang Xing'an Hospital was involved in a medical dispute, and the hospital performed uterine scar pregnancy evacuation surgery on patients without adequate response measures and technical conditions for heavy bleeding, resulting in the patient's tenth degree of disability. In December 2020, the hospital was fined 10,000 yuan by the Ankang Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau for "using expired Class II medical devices" and confiscated illegal products.
Accompanied by the hospital's violation of laws and regulations, is the constant change of the name of the hospital, from "Ankang Union Hospital", "Ankang Xing'an Hospital" to "Ankang Xing'an Hospital Co., Ltd.", the hospital changed its name while violating the law, and can it be cleaned up by relying on a business closure to rectify?
The various actions of Ankang Xing'an Hospital reflect the chaos of some private hospitals that are excessively profit-seeking and illegal operations. In this regard, the regulatory authorities often focus on after-the-fact, case-by-case punishment, and this passive concept of supervision makes some private hospitals more fearless, thus falling into the strange circle of repeated punishments.
Behind such industry chaos, in the final analysis, it is actually a problem of weak supervision. The medical industry has the characteristics of high professionalism, which leads to serious information asymmetry between doctors and patients, in other words, it is difficult to judge whether the other party is compliant by the patient's own strength alone. In this context, it is necessary to eliminate the luck of hospitals breaking the law through the strong pressure of supervising the "presence".
In this regard, in view of the illegal operation of female students in Ankang Xing'an Hospital, it cannot be just the hospital's closure and rectification, self-examination and self-correction. It is necessary for the regulatory authorities to review the previous work, comprehensively investigate the hospital's violations of laws and regulations, and make this "habitual offender" who has repeatedly taught and not changed pay the due price.
