Original title: You can become a "consultant" for 3,000 yuan, and a shot of vitamin C for 230,000 yuan is sold to consumers. The medical beauty industry is in chaos

The medical beauty industry is in chaos. The elephant has reached the point where plastic surgery experts and academic luminaries can no longer tolerate it. On October 30, the "Medical Aesthetics Industry Special Research Group" organized by the "People's Political Consultative Conference" and led by Sun Xianze, deputy director of the Education, Science, Health and Sports Committee of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, came to Shanghai Jiao Tong University When visiting the Ninth People's Hospital affiliated with the Medical College, some of the experts from the Ninth Hospital came out of the outpatient clinic wearing masks, some came out of the operating room wearing gowns, and some came out with a thick stack of written materials that they had stayed up all night to sort out. They wanted to " reflect the problem."

In August last year, a 2018 medical beauty industry white paper released by a private medical beauty institution showed that China’s medical beauty market may reach 224.5 billion yuan in 2018. The white paper also shows that there are more than 100,000 illegal studios, beauty salons, etc. in China's medical beauty market. The "White Paper on "Underground Black Needles" in Chinese Medical Beauty" released by the China Data Research Center and the China Plastic Surgery Association revealed astonishing information about "black doctors". The data shows that in the "black medical beauty" market, every 10 medical beauties Among the practitioners, there are 9 "black doctors".

You can become a "medical beauty consultant" for 3,000 yuan, and sell vitamin C to consumers for 230,000 yuan per shot

A medical beauty consultant is a "beauty medicine consultant". According to the official explanation of the Medical Cosmetology and Cosmetology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, plastic surgeons are practitioners who engage in consulting work in cosmetic plastic surgery institutions and build a communication bridge between plastic surgeons and beauty seekers. The certification of aesthetic medicine consultants refers to other national professional qualification certification methods. The qualification certification work mainly includes two parts: training and assessment.

But if you search for the keyword "aesthetic medicine consultant" online, you can see that "regular soldiers" are almost nowhere to be found. On the contrary, you can see "Teacher Tina" who graduated from a university with a bachelor's degree in medical cosmetology teaching you how to improve your taste by insisting on painting every day and serving 20 customers a day; you can see the "secret door" of recruiting consultants for medical cosmetology institutions. Directly pointing out that consultants are the essence of "customer service + sales"; you can see the recruitment advertisements of so-called professional certification agencies, which can issue you a certificate within one month of training; you can also see the "basic salary of 500 + subsidy of 500" offered by the agency + commission", but can earn more than 10,000 yuan per month, a "magic" job advertisement.

"The medical beauty industry has now become an industry with extremely poor technical quality. Barber shops, beauty salons, and pedicure shops can all do medical beauty as long as they are brave enough." Sun Baoshan said that the threshold for the medical beauty industry is low. , the market is huge, and many "bosses" are flocking to it. "If you make a mistake, you will be liable for civil liability at most. You can earn 1 million and lose 200,000. It's a good deal."

Sun Baoshan has seen some private medical beauty institutions using vitamins. C. Normal saline and vitamin B12 are mixed together to make a "beauty injection", which is then sold to consumers at a price of 230,000 yuan per injection. I have also seen "double eyelid surgery" quoted 100,000 yuan, and someone actually paid for it. Strange things”. “I’ve seen it a lot, and it’s not unusual in the medical beauty industry.” Sun Baoshan said.

Luan Jie, vice president of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and chairman of the Plastic Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, also noticed this "strange thing". A lot of money is spent on the store and facade, and the decoration is luxurious, but the threads and needles used in the operating room are the cheapest. If the drainage tube can be replaced by an infusion set, there is absolutely no need for drainage tubes."

A doctor from the Department of Cardiology and Orthopedics became a plastic surgeon after a short training

"At the beginning, the consultant sister recommended patients to him. He was as serious as in a public hospital , made preoperative analysis and judgment, and then declined the patient because it did not meet the surgical indications. "The doctor said that after several times of this, this doctor with a "regular army" background was "blocked" by the consultant." All the consultants refused to recommend patients to him. He was starved for three months and couldn't perform a single operation. "Finally, the young doctor gave in. He no longer dared to easily "decline" patients recommended by consultants.

Wang Danru, deputy director of the Plastic Surgery Department and director of the Organization Department of Shanghai Ninth Hospital, noticed that the young doctors who come to the hospital for regular and specialized training are different from the past. "Doctors should be in the profession of saving lives and healing the wounded. Now Many doctors are obsessed with the huge medical beauty market and specialize in learning cosmetic surgery instead of facial restoration."

There is a serious shortage of "regular troops"

Luan Jie said that "chasing huge profits" has now become a flaw in private medical aesthetic institutions. Many medical institutions now refer to patients as "customers". "This is unique in the world and is called a 'patient' in many countries." In the medical aesthetics industry, the "medical essence" has now been downplayed. "Many institutions are trying to replace it with services and aesthetics, including some experts who believe that aesthetics is a system and they need to gradually break away from the medical profession of plastic surgery."

Luan Jie’s research found that many private institutions now “spend money to buy certificates.” The state stipulates that institutions must have doctors with physician qualification certificates sitting in the hall. Therefore, these institutions spend thousands of dollars every month. Yuan hired a certified retired doctor. "The doctor doesn't have to come to work at all. He only needs to have a certificate to handle examinations."

In addition, there is currently an acute shortage of "regular troops" of plastic surgeons. Xiao Ran, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the research center of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Plastic Surgery Hospital (Badachu Plastic Surgery Hospital), has repeatedly called for the establishment of a "specialist physician system."

Luan Jie suggested that the medical aesthetics industry must determine the "leading position and mechanism of public hospitals." From doctor training to system construction and diagnosis and treatment standards, everything should fall on the "shoulders" of public hospitals. At the same time, the government should also give public hospitals sufficient space for their operating mechanisms. "It only allows them to train and formulate standards, but the people they train go to private institutions, and it is impossible to retain people."

Shanghai No. 9 Hospital Reorganization Li Shengli, deputy director of the Department of Plastic Surgery, suggested that the "Order No. 19" being revised should encourage qualified doctors to independently or jointly open private medical aesthetic institutions. "A boss who knows nothing can open a private medical aesthetic institution as long as he has money. This is wrong. A doctor with professional training has a minimum sense of professional honor."
