Set of standard is to refer to the relatively low value of the surgical implants, instead of the higher value of the surgical implants. With the development of medical science and technology, the implantation of man-made materials into the human body, while maintaining the normal functioning of human organs, has become a common surgical method. However, these implants are generally more expensive and their quality needs to be guaranteed in order to ensure their surgical results.
Setting standards
In April 2021, a whistleblower claimed that the director of orthopedics at a hospital in Zhengzhou City, as well as the director of neurosurgery, were suspected of setting standards during surgeries, and that the patients were required to undergo spinal surgeries that utilized implants to fix their lumbar vertebrae, according to the source. The so-called implant is actually a piece of medical screws, according to the patient's medical cost list shows that the implanted screws should be a higher value of the long-tailed screws, the unit price of up to 4000 yuan, but the patient in the shooting X-ray, showing that the lumbar spine is implanted in the ordinary medical screws, the value of only 1000 yuan ~ 1800 yuan. At present, the reporter contacted the Zhengzhou Medical Supervision Bureau staff, got the news is indeed received a report, but the specific case is still under investigation.
Medical ethics
This matter is very shocking, because if not someone broke the news, there is no way for ordinary patients to know, even if it is a life-long study, it is impossible to know that they are implanted with inferior products, but spent a high price, not to mention these Not to mention how much profit these doctors get, if a patient ends up with lumbar problems or even paralysis because of a product of substandard quality, who is responsible for that? These doctors have no conscience, as a doctor's medical ethics lost to where?
Supervision
In addition to emphasizing medical ethics, I feel that as a hospital, we should strengthen the supervision system, not by the director of the decision, there must be an equal right to supervise the monitoring body to supervise, each surgery, each cost is reasonable, whether there is artificial corruption to gain profit. The situation, only the establishment of a sound monitoring mechanism, so that these dirty things have no hiding place.
