49 Wu Xiying Hubei nationality aged foreign workers admitted to, Yantian, Fenggang, Dongguan city, guangji hospital due to bile duct stones, after 28 days of treatment failed to cure, died on March 21, leaving her husband xiaoguohai a $ 450,000 for up to 9 pages due to the costs. Hospitalization expenses table lists more than more than 320 charges, January infusion 330 kilograms, of which more than 14,000 ml of blood transfusion and the patient's death is still charging lead into question. (The Beijing News April 8)
how much one patient can harvest the 28 days? Dongguan guangji hospital gives the answer is: more than 320 multiple fees, infusion 330 kilograms, more than 14,000 ml of blood transfusion. However, despite receiving so many treatment, the patient still failed to hold on to life, in behind her and her family had to receive a tuition up to $ 450,000. $ 450,000
28 days per day of hospitalization expenses of up to 16,000, is indeed staggering. However, if this finds hospitals are in charge, does have some wrong. In fact, judging from the list of charges, 430,000 450,000 are of patients after transferred to the ICU. In order to provide the most timely and the most critical patients treated in place, ICU Ward had to give regardless of the cost in human, material and technical inputs and the most complete protection, centralized hospital equipment and medical staff of most of the top-end, high costs and high charges, it is no surprise. In reality, ICU often hours, billing unit also thousands at every turn, and other medical needs in critically ill patients, the resulting sky-high bills, there would be no surprise.
is not difficult to see, $ 450,000 medical debt may not be the hospital, particularly when patients pay only a $ 1300, hospitals will first advance fees on rescue and treatment of patients, “ not on money, saving ” the hospital really is called do every thing called for by humanity and duty. Not difficult to imagine, if “ first full save ” hospital instead because “ fee after &rdquo and encounter questioning whether the &ldquo first to collect money ” or “ save ”, also is to have the medical institutions at a loss.
however, “ not on money, saving ” is the responsibility of medical institutions should do, of course, in order to save lives at any cost, to say that also reflects the professionalism of hospital to heal. However, 28 days worth of medical bills I'm afraid and can't therefore perfectly justified. The contrary, at all costs, in fact, still need to consider the capacity of patients and their families, as far as medical cost savings, reduce medical costs for patients under the premise of providing relief, as is the duty of medical institutions, as regards the necessity of ICU Ward, is also open to question. In reality, since the particularity of ICU Ward, determined the patients once they have entered, basic and isolated from the patients ' families, which treatment for patients in hospitals, is impossible to know. For this reason, the ICU Ward did become unscrupulous hospital “ professional fraud ” tool.
based on the above point, “ not on money, saving ” Yes, of course, but $ 450,000 “28 day ” behind the Bill, still exposing misconduct of the medical service, also shines more or less Phantom of the diagnosis and treatment of excessive.
