Something happened in Hangzhou, which really made people feel furious. A 21-year-old man was accidentally cut off by a machine while working. That's bad enough, right? But worse is yet to come.
This young man was rushed to Hangzhou Plastic Surgery Hospital, and the operation went smoothly at first, but who would have thought that the complications after the operation would be a nightmare.
His fingers began to change color, turn black, and finally found 80 live maggots in the wound! Can you imagine? It's a horror movie.
As a result, because the infection was so severe, the young man had to have his leg amputated and lost his index finger. What does this mean for his future? He's still so young, what a blow it has hit him.
Moreover, as soon as this incident came out, the family members must be angry and anxious. They felt that the hospital was too irresponsible in handling the matter, that post-operative care was clearly inadequate, and that there were reportedly even medical records problems.
As for the hospital, although it admits responsibility, it avoids talking about the compensation and follow-up issues raised by the family.
This can't help but make people think, where is the hospital's sense of responsibility? How did the place where the dead and the wounded come to be? Liu, the head of the hospital, said that it may be because the doctors are inexperienced and do not handle it well enough.
But can this be an excuse? If you don't have enough experience, who will guarantee the safety of your patients?
This accident is not just an isolated case. It exposes some deep-seated problems in the healthcare system. For example, is the training of health care workers in place?
Is the management of medical records regulated? More importantly, can the hospital's attitude and actions in the face of medical malpractice reassure patients and their families?
Now, the young man's family has decided to sue the hospital and use legal means to protect their rights and interests. It's been a long road, and it's been a difficult one.
But at least, they didn't choose to be silent, they chose to stand up and speak up for themselves and for all those who might experience similar injustices.
This incident is a wake-up call for all of us. Medical safety is related to everyone's life and health. As patients, we should be vigilant and choose hospitals with good reputation and excellent technology.
As a hospital, we must always put the safety of patients first, continuously improve the level of medical care, and standardize medical behavior.
