The following death of a woman who was injected with the wrong medicine in the hospital for a cold was prescribed a few hundred yuan a drug, and the National Health Commission intervened in the investigation

It wasn't until I saw a woman in Wuhu, Anhui Province, who went to a local private hospital for treatment because of a cold, and the doctor staggered to prescribe medicine and caused her to die, that I knew that some doctors now don't even talk about the most basic medical ethics in order to make money.

Colds are not new to everyone, and a person will catch a cold several times in his life. It can be said that although this disease is very annoying, it is not a serious disease. Even if you go to the hospital for a slightly more serious one, you won't spend too much money for a small cold.

But recently, in the process of giving an infusion to a woman who was suffering from a cold, a private hospital in Wuhu, Anhui Province, the woman's condition deteriorated and she finally died. Afterwards, the family found out about the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and called it a big problem, and the Health Commission has also intervened in the investigation.

How much does it cost to prescribe a few hundred yuan of human blood albumin to treat a cold?

At around 2 p.m. on April 13, Mr. Gong's sister chose to go to a private hospital not far from her home because she had been suffering from a cold for a long time and was not feeling well.

Normally, a small cold can be difficult to treat, so everyone doesn't pay attention to it. However, at around 4 p.m., the deceased's husband suddenly received a call from the hospital, saying that the patient's condition was not optimistic. Although my husband was also a little confused, and he didn't understand how he could worsen his condition by going to the hospital to see a small cold, it couldn't be said that it was a trivial matter for the hospital to call him personally. Therefore, the husband rushed to the hospital without stopping.

However, when the husband rushed to the hospital, the woman had been sent to the hospital in a very bad condition. And because the rescue conditions of the private hospital were not sufficient, the hospital had to call 120 from other hospitals. However, by the time 120 from other hospitals arrived at the scene, the woman had lost her breath.

The woman's family was puzzled, so Mr. Gong, as the woman's younger brother, also shouldered his due responsibility, asking the hospital to show specific instructions, and at the same time checking the doctor's prescription.

But I don't know if I don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, Mr. Gong found that there was a human blood albumin as high as several hundred yuan on my sister's prescription paper! And because of this human blood albumin, my sister spent 765 on a small cold!

Friends who don't know much may not know that human blood albumin is mainly used to correct hypoproteinemia, and when cold patients are accompanied by hypoproteinemia, such as malnutrition, edema and other conditions, human blood albumin can be transfused under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.

However, it should be noted that human albumin is a blood product and may cause adverse reactions, the common ones are as follows:

Blood abnormalities: Rarely, the use of human albumin may cause blood abnormalities such as thrombocytopenia or clotting abnormalities. If you experience unusual symptoms of bleeding or bruising, you should inform your doctor promptly.

Allergic reactions: Human blood albumin, as an allogeneic protein, has the potential to cause allergic reactions. Common allergy symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, rash, and shortness of breath. For patients with allergies, careful evaluation and testing are required before use, and under the guidance of a doctor.

Risk of viral infection: Human albumin is extracted from plasma, and although it has been sterilized, the risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, etc. cannot be completely ruled out. Therefore, when using human albumin, it is necessary to pay attention to the changes in the body, and if there is any serious discomfort, you should seek medical attention in time.

Edema: Human albumin can cause water in the blood to penetrate into the interstitial space, causing edema. This can lead to rapid weight gain, swelling of the lower limbs, and in severe cases, breathlessness and heart failure.

Increased blood pressure: Albumin regulates blood volume and affects renin-angiotensin activity, which may trigger symptoms of high blood pressure, such as dizziness, blurred vision, or persistent tinnitus, and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Increased burden on the heart: The use of human albumin may affect the sympathetic nerves, causing the heart to beat faster and causing palpitations, which may induce heart disease in the long term. For older people or patients with abnormal heart and kidney function, large amounts of albumin supplementation in a short period of time may increase the burden on the heart and lead to heart failure.

Because human albumin has so many side effects, it is generally not needed. And even if some hospitals allow the use of human albumin, they must have the corresponding rescue capacity. In other words, once a patient has an adverse reaction, the hospital must have the ability to rescue in time to avoid the impact on the patient's life and health.

But obviously, this private hospital does not have the corresponding rescue capacity at all, otherwise it would not have let the 120 of other hospitals come. Moreover, the side effects of human blood albumin are so serious that it is generally impossible to treat a small cold, and the doctors in this hospital will not be unaware. And the reason why they have to insist on prescribing this drug, I can only think that they want to make a profit from it, after all, a protein is only a few hundred yuan, so how much money do you have to earn?

Netizens questioned the hospital's practices

Many netizens also generally can't understand the hospital's behavior of transfusing human blood albumin to women, so they questioned it:

"Why do you want to lose snow albumin for a cold? What does that mean?"

"I hurt my hand last time, and the doctor said to do B ultrasound!"

"Private hospitals don't go!"

"The name is right, the water is wrong, in the tertiary hospital, my mother encountered it, and the chemotherapy water was imprinted, but fortunately it was found in time!"

"I think some people really can't stand the cold, and they go to hang water if they have a little cold, and it's not that children say it's uncomfortable to cry!"

It can be seen that most netizens feel that the hospital has a big problem in this matter. Mr. Gong's family also asked the hospital for an explanation many times, but the hospital kept finding excuses to shirk it, but fortunately, the matter was intervened by the relevant departments, and the woman was examined.

At present, the local health commission has intervened to investigate the matter, and it is worth noting that the past experience of this hospital is not glorious. According to public information, the hospital has been in court several times in the past due to conflicts over liability for medical damages. That is to say, similar experiences are not uncommon in this hospital, and Mr. Gong's sister is not the first victim!

In any case, all we can do now is wait for the results of the investigation. At the same time, the relevant departments should also intervene in time to deal with the hidden dangers in this hospital, and some doctors should not be allowed to prescribe drugs indiscriminately for the sake of money, and even ignore human lives!
