Did the otolaryngologist at Yichang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital mutilate the 5-year-old child 2 years ago? 】
Yesterday's news from the "Huashang Daily" (@Huashang Online) said that a chief physician of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of Yichang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Hubei Province treated a 5-year-old child, performed tonsil bloodletting, and then operated on, which was identified as a medical accident. After reading it, I am very worried that the public will have unnecessary misunderstandings about tonsillar excision or excision surgery, so I will share my personal views on this matter.
1. Statement: I have no interest in the doctor or hospital concerned.
2. Tonsillar bloodletting is indeed a treatment method of TCM OTOL. The operation process and the news basically match. It is true that many doctors like to use sickles, do need to spit blood in the medical trash can next to them, and do not need special disinfection before the operation (I personally let the patient rinse his mouth first, and some doctors think it is not needed) - these contents may seem inappropriate to the layman, but this is indeed how it is operated. I can write down why I do this, but I'm afraid you won't have the patience to read it.
3. Tonsillectomy surgery has been around for more than 100 years and has strict surgical indications. Patients with this surgery will have surgery. Any statement that this surgery must be bad is unscientific.
4. TCM is not against surgery. Since ancient times, there has been a branch of TCM surgery, and Zushiye is Hua Tuo's teacher. Although the Yellow Emperor's Outer Classic has been lost, it is as old as the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. Some that have not been lost are the Ming Dynasty's "Authentic Surgery" and so on. All those who accuse TCM of not operating on it are essentially ignorant of TCM.
5. I respect the results of the medical malpractice appraisal. I encourage patients to resolve medical disputes through proper means, and I cannot disrespect the medical malpractice appraisal that is unfavorable to me. However, the medical malpractice appraisal report said that the problem was in the medical documentation, not the diagnosis and treatment process. I think that the medical record may indeed be flawed. But the flaw should not be so big that surgery is performed without signing.
6. When the child was discharged from the hospital, the symptoms of sleep snoring improved significantly. In the 2 years after he was discharged from the hospital (this was ignored by reporters), no objection was raised.
I don't know if my analysis can make the child's mother @ Ms. Feng medical damage party can understand more about the treatment in the past.
