It is suggested that male patients find male doctors and female patients find female doctors. Hospitals also have men's hospitals and women's hospitals. So nothing will happen.
I am a doctor. In order to prevent medical troubles and protect myself, I usually do cardiac auscultation to initially identify whether there is a heart disease, and then do other diagnosis and treatment. Patients with heart disease, don't listen to the rash, prescribe medicine. If there is a problem, the trouble will be even greater, and jumping into the Yellow River will not wash it off.
Not only do I not dislike the verdict, but I think it is too light. Dr. Tong should be disqualified. He doesn't deserve to be a doctor. It is a doctor like him who has tarnished his reputation. Don't spread the problem on all the doctors. As an otolaryngologist, there is absolutely no need to auscultate the patient's lungs! He crossed the line so much that there must be something wrong with the possible inspection! As far as things are concerned, we can't infer the behavior and motivation of this diagnosis and treatment from past experience. We must put facts to reason, take facts as the basis and take the law as the criterion.
As a doctor, medical ethics comes first, and whether the defendant is at fault is only clear to him. As a doctor, it is inevitable to have physical contact with patients in the process of diagnosis and treatment, but remember not to do too many examinations without the presence of a third person. Even if it is necessary, it will sometimes make you hard to argue. Even if the patient doesn't mean to frame you, her thoughtfulness is enough for you to bear and ruin your reputation.
Clinicians in any department may need to auscultate the heart and lungs, but there are rules. Under normal circumstances, male doctors will not examine female patients alone, and they need the consent of patients or their families. She refused diagnosis and treatment. Whether it is obscene or not, the relevant departments should be able to investigate clearly and deal with it according to law.
Otolaryngologists don't need lung auscultation! Then treat the head and feet. Outpatients who suspect that they have other diseases should be consulted, but please explain the reason for the consultation, right? Do you want to talk about how you found problems in other subjects? How do you know if there are any specific problems without checking? Do you need to consult? If you call someone for advice without saying anything, will the physician pay attention to you? Even if you have a photo examination, you still need to write down the symptoms and signs of the patient and the reasons for applying for a photo examination. Can you write it without an exam? The negotiation procedure is very demanding. You said you were a surgeon. You don't know that this otolaryngologist didn't communicate well with doctors and patients. He didn't explain that it's not just an otolaryngology problem, but also a lung examination. It is problematic to apply for the patient's consent and cooperate with the examination. That is to say, if you don't follow the procedure, that is, if you don't follow the doctor-patient communication procedure, serious patients will get into trouble! If there are nurses in the outpatient department of primary hospitals, no more than 40 or 50 patients will be registered every day, and if you have time to chat, the problem will be solved!
First, the hospital stipulates that male doctors should have the presence of a third party for gynecological examination of female patients, while routine examinations such as auscultation do not require the presence of a third party; Secondly, most diseases in otorhinolaryngology belong to respiratory system related to lung. Bronchitis or pneumonia caused by downward infection of pharyngitis, laryngitis and tonsillitis are very common in clinic, so auscultation is also one of the normal diagnosis and treatment methods. It should be speculated that it is either a black doctor with a doctor's name or a fake doctor who does not engage in clinical work and joins the team of doctors. As far as this case is concerned, the dispute caused by the patient's nervousness is not ruled out, and the handling by the relevant departments should be hasty and arbitrary. Such negative factors can only hurt doctors' hearts and make them more cautious, do more instrument tests and do less routine tests.
As a clinician, question? Suspected lung problems, he should consult the respiratory department? There are inferences? No need to auscultate the patient's lungs? , let a person unknown so! How can you doubt without auscultation? According to this logic, did you listen to the patient's heart and lungs when you examined the patient who was not undergoing cardiopulmonary surgery? Or when the surgical patient has symptoms such as cough and palpitation, do you have to consult a respiratory and cardiovascular physician? Otolaryngology? No need to auscultate the patient's lungs? There is no need to listen to abdominal sounds, so why should hospitals equip otolaryngologists with stethoscopes?
Any doctor can do lung auscultation, and it is part of the physical examination. This is the basic skill. Nowadays, many doctors ignore basic skills and rely too much on machines. The doctor suspected that there was something wrong with the lungs. First of all, you should do auscultation of the lungs to confirm your judgment, and then do chest imaging examination. If they find something that can't be handled or the diagnosis is unclear, they can consult the respiratory department. Instead of doing nothing, turning on various instruments for inspection and even asking for consultation.
Surgeons don't auscultate the heart and lungs, or they don't auscultate the heart and lungs routinely, but it can't ruin the normal operation of others. Every doctor can listen to his lungs, and they have the responsibility to listen, but most doctors are too busy to listen, and they don't have enough training to listen. But that's not the reason why surgeons destroy other doctors. Respecting other peers is also respecting yourself. The mistake of the defendant's doctor is not auscultation, but that he did not fully respect the patient's right to privacy when he completed auscultation, and did not protect himself well, putting himself in a dangerous situation.
Legally speaking, it is unfair. Medically speaking, it is also wrong. Medically speaking, there is no law that a third person must be present when checking private parts, but in order to avoid what happens in this case, it is best to have a third person present. It is necessary for otolaryngologists to carry out cardiopulmonary examination when necessary (such as local anesthesia in this case).
A woman's mind is different. If she says something bad, she will never take it back. Although the man has no intention and purpose, it is definitely unlucky, because the law is very clear. Once a woman speaks, she can't wash it off. This woman will never go to this hospital again, and both female and male doctors will be very scared.
There are national laws and family laws, and doctors absolutely have strict rules in this respect, because it involves a woman's life safety. With the improvement of the legal system and the improvement of people's quality of life, I think this aspect will be paid more attention. This is different from the past when there were few doctors and medicines. It is just closer to the western sexual harassment standards and protects individual rights. This is progress.
