How do you think the operating room is full of money? Are you telling the truth?

According to the response of the hospital involved afterwards, this dinner was spontaneously organized by some people in the operating room. The saying that "the operating room is full of money" is to create a relaxed dining atmosphere. However, no matter what the context is, it is essentially a disrespect for patients. A life-threatening operation is actually a "cash cow" in the eyes of some medical staff, which is far from the medical image of "sometimes healing, often helping and always comforting" in people's eyes.

Medical staff are also ordinary people, and they also have to support their families. A gentleman makes money in a right way. In the process of saving lives, it is natural for doctors to get paid according to the difficulty and technical content of the operation. It is not shameful to talk about money, but the doctor profession is respected by society precisely because doctors are facing fresh life. Surgery is not assembling parts on an assembly line. Whether out of human instinct or professional ethics, medical staff should abide by medical ethics when facing patients and try their best to send warmth to patients. If patients become money-making tools in the eyes of doctors, how can people believe that such doctors will really think for themselves?

The patient lying on the operating table not only suffers from pain, but also faces unknown risks during the operation. A look from the doctor and a comforting word may make the patient feel much more comfortable. In the book Dr. Zhang Wenhong, a patient's family begged Zhang Wenhong to visit his sick relatives, and he patiently calmed their emotions. In Zhang Wenhong's view: "It seems that it can meet the psychological needs of patients and give them some comfort. Sometimes what doctors can do is limited, and we have to face such helplessness and helplessness every day. We must do our best to be ourselves. "

The reason why "the operating room is full of money" stings people's nerves is also related to some medical chaos in society. Individual hospitals are bent on making profits and try their best to extract money from patients, which seriously tarnishes the public image of medical staff. In 20 12, a hospital in Guangdong once hung a banner "Congratulations" to more than 40,000 inpatients, which was considered too indifferent by the public. In order to increase income, some hospitals ignore medical laws and treat doctors indiscriminately, making a lot of money, but increasing the burden on patients.

The Kang Hua Hospital in this incident is a private 3A hospital in Guangdong. In fact, many private hospitals are operating normally and serving patients wholeheartedly. They are not fundamentally different from public hospitals, and may even operate better. However, the practices of some private hospitals, such as "close to Concord", false diagnosis and treatment, turning doctors into salesmen and fooling patients, have left a serious psychological shadow on the people, and also put many negative labels on private hospitals, resulting in a "trust crisis" in the industry.
