In the early hours of this morning, Xuzhou City announced the results of the handling of the "Suining County Infant Death" incident.
Receiving doctor Zheng Mouxiang was suspended from his professional activities, gave Wang Yanlong, secretary of the party committee of the county health commission, a warning within the party, dismissed Zhang Tao, secretary of the party committee and president of Suining County People's Hospital, from his posts inside and outside the party, and demoted to Suining County People's Hospital.
The incident originated from a video of a one-and-a-half-year-old baby who died after being denied treatment for a nucleic acid certificate, which said that on the evening of April 29, the young child was sent by his family to Suining County People's Hospital for treatment because of a foreign body in the trachea.
"When we got to the emergency room, we were asked to do nucleic acid first, and we did what the doctor said, and we asked to save the child first, and the doctor said that we had to get the list before we could save it."
The video publisher also said that in the nearly seven or eight hours of waiting, "no doctor looked at the child, until the child's mouth turned purple, I was angry before I came to hang the oxygen inhaler for the child, hanging the oxygen and let us wait for the list and not give treatment." ”

It is reported that after the young child was transferred from suining county emergency medical station to Xuzhou New Health Hospital for treatment, he died on the morning of April 30 after ineffective rescue.
Due to the strong directivity of the video content, after the network spread, there were a large number of voices questioning the hospital's and even epidemic prevention policies: "If the doctor informs the family of the seriousness and takes measures early, the tragedy can be avoided", "If the yang is not treated?" What is the meaning of being a nucleic acid? ”
In the early morning of this morning, the public account "Xuzhou Release" announced the investigation and treatment opinions of Shi Mouyuan, a child in Suining County, Jiangsu Province.
The investigation showed that Suining County People's Hospital considered that its own treatment capacity was insufficient, and issued a referral form at 21:00 that night, informing the relatives of the children to be referred as soon as possible. Because the child's parents were not present, his aunt and grandmother failed to agree to the referral.
During the period, the hospital took nucleic acid samples on the children and their aunts at 20:22 on April 29, and in the process of treatment, reception and referral, Suining County People's Hospital and Xuzhou New Health Hospital did not require them to provide nucleic acid test results.
In addition, the medical department of Suining County People's Hospital also contacted the general duty office of Xuzhou New Health Hospital at 22:00 on the 29th.
The investigation also mentioned that at 21:45 on the same day, after the parents of the child arrived at the hospital, the receiving doctor handled other cases after explaining the condition with the father of the child, during which he repeatedly called the father of the child to inquire about the condition and urged the transfer to the hospital at 23:55, 0:00 on the 30th, 1:04, 1:07, 1:19 and 1:23.
According to the investigation, Suining County People's Hospital did not implement the responsibility system for the first diagnosis in the diagnosis and treatment process of the child Shi Mouyuan, did not take relevant examinations in time to further clarify the diagnosis, did not communicate with relatives sufficiently, and did not inform the child's condition and the serious consequences that may occur; in the process of referral, there was a lack of connection and did not fully inform the receiving hospital of the child's detailed condition in time.
According to the results of the investigation, the Xuzhou Municipal Health Commission gave a warning to suining county people's hospital, and zheng mouxiang, a doctor who was diagnosed with the clinic, suspended his practice activities and conducted further investigations, and instructed suining county people's hospital to comprehensively carry out internal rectification.
The results of the investigation show that the hospital has taken a plan to receive treatment and has given medical advice many times, which is quite different from the video content of "no nucleic acid certificate denied to death". After the circular was issued, it once again triggered public opinion controversy, and some netizens shouted injustice for hospitals and doctors, feeling that the handling was too heavy.
“...... I felt that there was no problem in the hospital, but it was a parent, and the referral was pushed from 21:00 to 1:00 a.m., and it was three or four hours in vain."
"There is no need to deal with people, the hospital is doing a good job", this is obviously a problem for parents, why deal with doctors? ”
Some high praise comments
Weibo user "Pediatrician Xiaoping" said, "This is the most severe punishment of medical parties in history, not only the receiving doctors have been suspended from practicing activities, the president has been dismissed, and the hospital has also been warned and demoted." ”
He said in Weibo that in the determination of responsibility for any accident, it is necessary to implement the responsibility of the relevant parties, and the punishment should be consistent with the degree of responsibility, which is a fair and reasonable accident investigation report.
"If the responsibility for this time is determined like the responsibility for traffic accidents, it is the main responsibility to give the child pumpkin seeds; the guardian does not follow the advice of the doctor, it is the secondary responsibility; the doctor's mistake can only be regarded as the secondary responsibility."
He mentioned that in foreign countries, if an infant is eaten with melon seeds and peanuts, resulting in infant suffocation and death, the guardian will be sentenced for the crime of abuse; in China, there are actually negligent deaths and abuse of the ward, which can be applied to this situation.
"But this time, the board hit the doctor completely."
