This is not a generalization, it has to be looked at specifically. There is no denying that there are individual doctors who let patients buy drugs from designated pharmacies outside the hospital, and that they get a cut of the profits. But this is only a very small part, the vast majority of doctors will not do so, even these money are reaching out to doctors, peers are not ashamed! What's more, once reported and investigated, the consequences are very serious, for a small profit and lose the "iron rice bowl", it seems that the doctor's brain is not so insufficient, right?
There are two kinds of cases. The hospital pharmacy does not have this drug and treatment needs to let the patient outsourcing legal compliance. The hospital pharmacy has this drug is to be divided into situations
One situation: the hospital's medicine is more expensive than the purchased medicine, then the patient will be referred to a qualified pharmacy to buy drugs, is really for the sake of the patient, so that the patient has the right to choose.
The second scenario: hospital drugs and purchased drugs prices are about the same, which is not illegal, but increase the patient's trouble, whether for the sake of the patient is worth thinking about.
Three scenarios: hospital drugs and purchased drugs at about the same price, but the doctor introduced to the drugstore without the qualification of the sale of drugs or online purchase of drugs APP purchase of drugs, that is illegal, and the risk of medication can not be controlled, which is not good to say whether there is a chain of interests, but not to talk about for the benefit of the patients this is the real hammer.
Doctors recommend that patients go outside the hospital pharmacy to buy drugs is to eat kickbacks
Individual doctors in order to get kickbacks, obviously hospitals have said no, but instead recommended to a particular hospital or a particular manufacturer, said that the quality of the side of the good and cheap, the majority of this situation is fishy. Of course, if the doctor said the hospital does not have, recommended to go outside, but there is no specified which hospital, this situation may be hospitals really do not have.
In fact, the doctor suggested that the patient go to the pharmacy outside the hospital to buy drugs, really is not what some people think, what is in order to "eat kickbacks". For example, I find colleagues to see the doctor, colleagues basically let me go outside the pharmacy to buy drugs. The reason is very simple, in the hospital to buy, to write outpatient medical records, to write a prescription, the procedure is very troublesome. Of course, this is not the main reason for doctors to let patients go outside the pharmacy to buy drugs, after all, to the hospital to see patients are walking outpatient, outpatient medical records must be filled, so many words are typed, and not bad to make a prescription, is not it? The reason why doctors let patients go outside the pharmacy to buy drugs, there are several reasons:
First of all, the hospital's own pharmacy off the stock, which is often the case. For example, human albumin, which was in very short supply some years ago, is often out of stock in hospitals, and sometimes doctors will suggest that patients go to an outside pharmacy to see if it might be available. Of course, this also includes some other drugs. Although the hospital has a lot of drugs, but not everything, occasionally some drugs are not available or out of stock is also very normal, the doctor can only let the patient to go to the outside pharmacy to buy.
Secondly, the brand of the drug, the hospital procurement is a tender, the winning company produced by the drug sometimes may not necessarily be the best results. The hospital's pharmacy is to recognize the generic name rather than the trade name, as long as it is a certain kind of medicine, specifications, dosage is not a problem on the line, usually the same kind of medicine will not deliberately go to different patients with different brands of hair. Moreover, it is against the law to prescribe a specific company or brand! Therefore, in such cases, doctors sometimes let patients go to an outside pharmacy to buy a certain brand of medicine. But which pharmacy to go to is usually not assigned to you, so it's up to you to decide. To be fair, it is an indisputable fact that the efficacy of the same drug varies from one manufacturer to another. The fact that some imported medicines are more expensive than domestic ones is an indisputable fact, but they are more expensive than others.
Then there is the issue of health insurance regulation. Now the medical insurance department is very strict on the regulation of drugs, prescription drugs if the standard exceeds, the doctor is to be punished! Sometimes, in order to prevent overruns and penalties, doctors will also let patients go out to the pharmacy to buy their own. After all, for the patient, in the hospital pharmacy to buy drugs and go outside the pharmacy to buy drugs is not very different; and for the doctor, the fine can be real money, is their hard-earned money! I believe we can still understand this point, doctors are also people, also need to support their families, is not it? To you opened, the result of the doctor was the health insurance department to be fined, a day of outpatient not only on the white, may also have to pay a large sum of money ...... mutual understanding, mutual tolerance, the world will be a better place.
To be honest, think about it, you go to the hospital, how many doctors let you go out to buy drugs? Even if the pharmacies out there give all the profits to the doctor, how many of them will be able to get a few big bucks? Nowadays, the self-media is so developed, and there are all kinds of complaints and reporting channels, doctors really can't risk losing their "iron rice bowls" to earn this small amount of money, unless he has a bad brain ...... Of course, we can't rule out that there are so many individuals who are obsessed with money, but which one? The actual fact is that there are not many black sheep in the business. The doctor-patient relationship can actually be harmonized with more trust, understanding and tolerance. Not to say that it is for the sake of the patients, at least the vast majority of doctors let patients go outside the pharmacy to buy drugs is not a pitfall, and more than anything else, in order to "eat kickbacks".
