In recent years, the relationship between doctors and patients has become tense, and medical incidents have broken out from time to time. The reasons are various, and some of them are caused by bad doctors. Recently, an incident occurred in Jilin Boai Hospital where an operation was obviously delayed midway. Mr. Ma promised before the operation that it would only cost 610 yuan. However, after the doctor gave him anesthesia, he was told twice that he needed to undergo other operations and was asked to do so. He signed immediately. Mr. Ma was very nervous at the time. He just took whatever the doctor said. At the end of the bill, he discovered that the total payment cost more than 10,000 yuan.

1. The price was increased twice on the operating table

On the afternoon of the 29th, Ma Ming, who had just completed circumcision surgery, told reporters what happened:

I went to Boai Hospital alone for circumcision surgery today (29th) morning. The hospital told me that the surgery would cost 580 yuan for surgery and 30 yuan for examination fee. Follow-up treatment will cost 600 yuan. I think the fee is not expensive, so I plan to have it done at this hospital. I had three pre-operative examinations, including routine urine test, blood test and external cell test of the penis. The hospital reported that there was nothing wrong with me.

Then I went for surgery. Halfway through the operation, the doctor said that I had a fascia infection and needed another operation for the fascia infection. The operation fee was 3,800 yuan. I was already under anesthesia and was very nervous. When the doctor said there was an infection, I became even more frightened. Moreover, the doctor told me that it was very serious. I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I signed the surgery consent form.

I thought there would be no more problems, but within a few minutes, the doctor said that my nerve bifurcation was serious and that I needed an operation to eliminate sensitivity. One nerve stent costs 2,400 yuan and requires two. , which means I need to pay another 4,800 yuan. I signed the surgery consent form again.

After that, my circumcision surgery was completed, and the payment was 10,134 yuan (610 yuan for surgery and examination fees, 8,600 yuan for surgery, 600 yuan for treatment, 10 yuan injection fee and 314 yuan for western medicine).

It was only later that I realized, isn’t this just an extra item in the surgery, and the hospital charges hidden fees in disguise?

The doctor at Jilin Boai Hospital:

After opening it, he found an infection inside, so he treated him

On the morning of the 30th, a New Culture reporter accompanied Ma Ming came to Jilin Boai Hospital and asked Dr. Chang, who treated Ma Ming, about adding extra items during the operation.

Reporter: What happened to the additional surgery?

Dr. Chang: He is doing foreskin surgery. There are bacteria on the outside of the foreskin. If the bacteria infect the lower part of the foreskin, some people will infect the fascia.

Reporter: Didn’t the preoperative examination detect it?

Dr. Chang: The outer plate of the foreskin is skin, and its inner plate is inflamed. Underneath the inner plate is fascia. Fascia cannot be seen with the naked eye, and infection cannot be seen either. Normal fascia is white and rosy, but after his foreskin was opened, the fascia turned yellow. It was found that there was an infection inside, so he was treated.

Reporter: What about nerve bifurcation desensitization surgery?

Dr. Chang: There are two nerves under the glans. Normal nerves are just two. However, if the foreskin is too long and other reasons, the nerve bifurcation will increase, the nerve branches will increase, and its sensitivity will increase. It will be strengthened and the sexual life time may become shorter in the future. After opening the foreskin, I found that its nerves had many branches, like tree branches, so I performed an operation to eliminate the sensitivity. I told him these things before the operation, but I didn't mention the price.

Ma Ming: Didn’t you tell me before the operation?

Dr. Chang: At that time, I said there might be infection and an increase in nerve branches. I said that. Ma Ming: Before the operation, you didn’t say what kind of operation you were going to do?

Dr. Chang: Before the operation, I said that some people might have this problem, but I didn’t say whether it was necessary.

Ma Ming: You didn’t say whether surgery is needed.

Dr. Chang: Yes, I didn’t say whether surgery was needed. I admit it, and I didn’t tell you the price, but I said it was possible.

Ma Ming: Then I’m halfway through the operation, so it’s not appropriate for you to add this option.

Dr. Chang: I know, the doctor discovered this after opening it, so he did it directly.

Afterwards, Dr. Chang said that if he had any questions, he could go to the hospital leaders.

Director Li of Jilin Boai Hospital:

Refund the surgery fee of 7,000 yuan after excluding the cost of surgical consumables

The reporter then accompanied Ma Ming to Jilin Boai Hospital On the 6th floor of the hospital, I met Director Li of the hospital. After questioning Ma Ming, Dean Li called the doctor involved, Dr. Chang, upstairs.

Dr. Chang said that there is no problem with adding extra items during the operation. It is just a matter of finding the problem and solving it. "I've already explained everything clearly to you in the pre-operative conversation, and probably said everything." Dr. Chang said.

"Before the operation, he told me that there might be infection or nerve sensitivity, but he did not tell me what kind of surgery I would need to do if there was any situation." Ma Ming retorted, "Surgery Halfway through, if you tell me this, what choice do you want me to make?"

"No one is doing the surgery on you randomly. There must be something wrong with it, but you can't accept it during the surgery. .

Yes or no? "Dean Li said to Ma Ming.

"No, yours is an extra item during the operation. These problems occurred during the operation. Who knows how you discovered it? I have absolutely no idea. " Ma Ming retorted.

"This problem is not that there are extra items or anything. It is that you had these problems and we performed it on you in time. You just felt uncomfortable during the operation. . How do you want to solve it? "Dean Li said.

"I mean, I shouldn't pay these two surgery fees. "Ma Ming proposed to Dean Li a solution to refund the 8,600 yuan surgery fee.

"Have you signed for both surgeries? "Dean Li asked. Ma Ming nodded in reply.

Finally, after repeated discussions between dean Li and Ma Ming, dean Li finally agreed to deduct the cost of surgical consumables from Ma Ming's 8,600 yuan surgery fee. 7,000 yuan will be refunded.

Lawyer Liu Haibo from Jilin Jixiang Law Firm said that in the process of medical services, "intra-operative extra items" are typical of taking advantage of others' danger. According to Article 54 of the Contract Law, Jilin. Although Boai Hospital obtained the patient's signed consent, the patient had the right to request the people's court or arbitration institution to revoke the signature after the operation because it was a civil act that took advantage of others' danger.
