Editor I: Xiaoying views the world
Preamble:
Do I need treatment for a burr on my finger?
The treatment costs 5 yuan, and it is enough to buy some iodophor disinfectant, right?
Inadequate. It will cost 17,000, yes, you heard it right, the first step, clip the burr out, and there may be a drop of blood flowing out.
The second step is to put back the blood that flowed out before and disinfect the wound.
Recently, in a hot pot restaurant in Xi'an, a girl was scratched by a burr while wiping disposable chopsticks with a paper towel, resulting in a small wound that caused a huge dispute over costs. The store paid 2,000 yuan for various examinations and deposited 10,000 yuan for the operation, which seemed to be fully prepared for treatment. However, five days later, the girl contacted the store and said that the cost was not enough and that she had to pay another 5,000 yuan. The escalating cost of this huge surgery raises the question of whether treating small wounds is such a high cost.
The cost of treatment for this small wound in a public tertiary hospital is as high as 17,000 yuan, and the hospital insists that it is a regular operation, while the store and some netizens question whether this is excessive medical treatment. Is it because the cost of medical care is reasonable, or is it getting more expensive for ordinary people to see a doctor?
What should have been a simple treatment turned into a five-day surgical process, which was not only costly, but also involved some puzzling procedures. Stores and netizens have questioned whether the operation in the operation cost is too complicated, including the sucking out of the patient's blood and then infusing it back, whether such an operation is necessary in the treatment of small wounds, and whether the cost is reasonable? The difference in the operation cost of more than 5,000 yuan also makes people feel that the medical cost is overestimated.
The total cost of examination, surgery, treatment, and materials reached 17,000 yuan, some of which were incredible. The shopkeeper pointed out that the examination fee was only 30 yuan, so why should 2,000 yuan be charged? The high cost of the operation also raised questions: Is there such a big difference between the prick extraction and the incision to draw blood? And the material cost has become the focus, and whether it is reasonable to use the material fee to bandage a small wound is nearly 6,000 yuan, and people cannot help but have doubts.
The hospital's response in the face of questioning has caused more controversy. The hospital emphasized the formality of the operation, but failed to explain the reasonableness of the cost. Whether patients are being overtreated and whether costs are overestimated, the hospital's response seems to evade the core question.
With the popularization of medical insurance, people should feel the reduction of medical expenses, but this is not the case. The controversy caused by this incident also reflects the sensitivity of ordinary people to medical expenses. More and more people still feel that medical treatment is expensive under medical insurance, whether it shows the problem of the medical system and whether there is excessive medical treatment, it is worth pondering.
Epilogue:
An inconspicuous hot pot chopstick, but it unveils a veil behind medical expenses. Whether the high cost of treatment is reasonable, whether the hospital's response has solved the doubts, and whether the people have really felt the reduction in the cost of medical treatment under the medical insurance are all questions that need to be deeply considered. For the reform of the medical system and the transparency of medical costs, all sectors of society need to work together to ensure that every patient can enjoy medical services fairly and reasonably.
