Conscience in the medical field

On October 12, Ms. Liu, a resident of Xi’an, told a reporter from Huashang Daily about an incident she found to be \"very rare\" and \"incredible,\" while also feeling \"very happy\" about it. Ms. Liu said that her husband, Mr. Wang, suffered from high blood pressure and had been taking blood pressure medication; his blood pressure was under good control. After returning from their trip during the National Day holiday, however, his blood pressure would not drop, and the medication no longer seemed to work. At 11 p.m. on October 7th, his blood pressure was still not under control, which worried everyone greatly. So she and her child took him to the 521 Hospital near their home for treatment. “It was already after 11 p.m. at that time; my child and I took my spouse to the emergency room of the hospital. The doctor on duty measured her blood pressure, which was 106 on the diastolic side and over 160 on the systolic side. After asking about the situation, the doctor prescribed 12 small white pills, with half a pill to be taken each time. When I went to pay, the nurse told me it would cost 40 cents in total, which surprised me greatly; I never expected such a low price. There are 8 pills left now, but my spouse’s blood pressure has dropped and it hasn’t risen again. ”Ms. Liu said that nowadays, a single hospital visit can cost hundreds or even thousands of yuan. She never expected that large hospitals could prescribe medicines for just a few cents. “I spent 5 yuan on registration alone; I didn’t expect the medicine to cost only 40 cents. It’s just that I couldn’t read the name of the medicine on the prescription.” But it’s said that it’s hard and expensive to get medical treatment these days. I’m 53 years old, and this is the first time I’ve encountered such a good doctor; he deserves praise. ” Ms. Liu said she vaguely remembered that the doctor’s name was Wen Xinqiang (phonetically). Subsequently, a reporter from Huashang Daily got in touch with Wuliu Yi Hospital and confirmed that this doctor indeed worked in the hospital’s emergency department. However, since Dr. Wen had just finished a long night shift, the reporter did not attempt to contact him at that time in order to respect his rest time.
Now, **controls are stricter; the doctor-patient relationship is becoming increasingly tense, which has also drawn societal attention. Last year I went to the hospital, and the doctor asked me to transfer my insurance to that hospital so that I could use my health insurance card to cover the costs. I didn’t do that because my company provides another type of insurance that covers such expenses. When prescribing medication, they will also tell you which ones can only be purchased at hospitals, and which ones can be bought both at hospitals and at pharmacies outside the hospital. The dosage should be determined by consulting the patient.
I saw it online too. It’s incredible; this is a good start.
A few years ago, in Guangdong, wasn’t there a disease that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, but could be cured with just some herbs costing a few dozen yuan?
A medicine that can cure an illness is not necessarily a good one; it may have side effects. A few years ago, my father suffered a sudden gastric perforation in our hometown. He didn’t drink alcohol. Later, several people in the town also had stomach problems. The thing that seemed to be common among them was that they had all taken medication for back and leg pain; this medication is very effective for such pains, but it has an adverse effect on the stomach.
Doctors should have a compassionate heart; indeed, many doctors these days are even more terrifying than murderers. Murderers merely kill people, but these doctors not only kill but also steal money. They order numerous tests and prescribe loads of drugs, when in fact it’s completely unnecessary. Ah, **it really needs to be properly managed.
