Recently, many infected people in COVID-19 are worried about whether they have viral myocarditis, "white lung" and other problems. Medical institutions also responded to the market in time, and launched the "Yang Kang Physical Examination Package", including lung CT, myocardial enzymes, electrocardiogram and other counterpart examinations. Is it necessary to have a physical examination after Yang Kang?
"After Yang Kang, if the patient's blood oxygen saturation is abnormal and he really feels unwell, he can go to the hospital for necessary re-examination. However, in the absence of special physical symptoms, patients can rest at home. In the current busy medical institutions, there is no need to rush to the peak of infection for unnecessary physical examination. In addition, the routine health examination may miss the current medical peak of COVID-19's treatment, but if the original underlying disease requires medical examination, it may be a normal medical examination at the wrong peak. " Li Jun, director of the Infectious Diseases Department of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital, said.
"Many elderly people have health checks every year. This is also a daily basic physical examination. At present, the hospital is focusing on treating some seriously infected people. You don't have to go to the physical examination at the current medical peak deliberately, and do a good job in daily basic disease treatment. However, if the underlying disease causes the symptoms to worsen, it is recommended to go to the hospital for necessary basic disease-related examinations in order to adjust the treatment plan of the underlying disease in time. " Li Jun said.
Media: You can't treat "Yang Kang" as Tang monk meat.
According to reports, there are not a few medical institutions that have launched the "Yang Kang Medical Examination Package" in various places, and most of them are private medical institutions. The content of the package is similar, but the cost is different. On February 28th, 29th and 30th last year, the national chain professional physical examination institutions conducted nearly 70,000 cases of lung CT examination. These figures not only reflect Yang Kangren's emphasis on their own health, but also seek peace of mind through inspection; On the other hand, it also reflects the anxiety about Yang Kang's physical condition, such as worrying about whether he has viral myocarditis, white lung and other problems. It is understandable for medical institutions to follow suit and launch related businesses. "Yang Kang Medical Examination Package" came into being, but we can't treat Yang Kangren as Tang monk meat. Whether it is a medical institution or a hospital, it is not appropriate to boost this anxiety through the official WeChat account or other channels. After all, most consumers have not received professional medical training, and it is easy to believe that Yang Kang needs a medical examination when medical staff from medical institutions or hospitals come out and say "I suggest you do a comprehensive health screening".
Now hospitals everywhere are overcrowded, and many critically ill patients are eager for timely and effective treatment. Under such circumstances, do people who are healthy and have no physical discomfort suspend physical examination and give limited medical resources to patients who need it more? A respiratory doctor who has worked in a 3A hospital for many years said, "Generally speaking, patients who have passed Yang don't need a systematic physical examination if they don't feel unwell. If they feel uncomfortable, they can go to the hospital for a medical examination. " . What is more worth reminding is that a purely market-oriented medical examination institution can give up the profit-seeking mentality of taking the opportunity to make profits? Maybe "Yang Kang" doesn't mean the end, but it doesn't mean the beginning of "physical examination".
