Because the compensation was not done well! If the compensation provided by the hospital is enough, who will go to the hospital to make trouble?

With regard to curbing violence, as early as April 2014, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice, and the National Health and Family Planning Commission jointly announced the "On Punishing Medical-Related Crimes According to the Law and Maintaining Normal Medical Order" "Opinions", clearly will severely punish six types of medical-related illegal crimes such as beating or intentionally killing or injuring medical staff in the hospital. On November 1, 2015, the "Amendment (9) to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" came into effect, and medical harassment was included in the criminal law.

However, according to a survey by the Chinese Hospital Association, 73.33% of hospitals across the country still have cases where patients and their families have violently beaten, threatened, and abused medical staff. The Supreme People's Court announced that in 2014, courts across the country concluded 155 criminal cases involving the violent killing and injury of doctors.

So why are “violent medical incidents” banned repeatedly?

1. The long-term trust issues between doctors and patients are gradually fermenting

The doctor-patient relationship was not like this at the beginning, but in today’s world where it is difficult and expensive to see a doctor. In this era, going to the hospital for medical treatment is based on trust in the hospital and even the doctor. However, hospital resources are tight, the number of doctors is not enough, and there are even too few good doctors, resulting in patients lacking a basic sense of trust in the hospital and doctors. Every time we go to the hospital to see a doctor, doctors are faced with an overloaded list of patients, so they naturally make some small discounts on their patient attitudes and services.

Furthermore, some unscrupulous doctors have slowly developed unspoken "red envelope" rules in hospitals, making patients think that only when the doctor accepts his red envelope, will he treat the patient more seriously and professionally. Although not every doctor will accept red envelopes, the unspoken rules of red envelopes are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Every time a doctor does not accept a red envelope from a patient, the patient will worry that the doctor will not devote himself wholeheartedly to him. However, this is also a reason for The medical incident laid the fuse. When patients have high expectations for the results of treatment, but the doctor fails to meet the patient's expectations, the patients will become even more angry and accuse the doctor of not being able to achieve the treatment effect despite receiving red envelopes, and fight over this.

Especially the recent cases of illegal operation of vaccine products and the Wei Zexi incident have made people's trust in hospitals and doctors sink to the bottom. Everyone suddenly discovered that hospitals can put the lives of the flowers of the motherland for profit. Regardless of life, public tertiary hospitals will use the lives of patients to make money. The bridge of trust between doctors and patients is shaky. Once a medical accident occurs, patients will instantly lose their trust in doctors, and medical harassment will be openly violent. , thus forming a vicious circle.

2. The closure of medical information and the asymmetry of medical information

In the general environment, patients’ trust in doctors is greatly reduced, but due to the lack of medical information, patients , and have to force themselves to trust the doctor, because the patient has no choice.

But if patients can easily and simply access relevant information about their diseases, they will not be blindly superstitious about doctors and regard the doctor's prescriptions and treatment methods as imperial edicts, but study their own diseases with a learning attitude. If the treatment effect is slightly unsatisfactory or ineffective, the patient will not force the blame on the doctor and will have great resentment towards the doctor. Therefore, the correct popularization of medical knowledge can curb medical troubles to a certain extent, which also gives patients and doctors new ways out and new choices.

Medical information is highly professional, and not only is it difficult to tell whether it is true or false, but some diagnoses and treatments themselves are also highly controversial. X Degree has removed most medical false information from the shelves, but it does not mean that other non-commercially promoted medical information can ensure that patients will not be misled in other ways. Yesterday, Sogou Search released a new product function based on the panic about medical information caused by the Wei Zexi incident: Sogou Mingyi vertical search,

It provides both Wikipedia and Zhihu Authoritative content from communities, academic journals, Lilac Garden and other websites, as well as professional content collected from "whitelist institutions" such as regular large hospitals, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, WHO and scientific research institutions. In view of the current foreign research in some medical fields, It still occupies a dominant position and provides more international cutting-edge English academic papers, allowing users to obtain true, authoritative and credible medical information.

3. The Chinese legal system is not tough enough in handling medical incidents

In China, the cost of medical incidents is relatively low compared to other countries, thus forming a legal system with Chinese characteristics doctor-patient relationship. The concept of "make a big fuss and pay a big compensation (+ follow the online world on WeChat), make a small fuss and pay a small compensation, and no compensation if you don't make a fuss" has also spawned an industry: professional medical trouble companies. They are often stationed around hospitals. Once a medical malpractice occurs, they will be hired to help patients blackmail the hospital for compensation. The police in China generally regard the deceased as the most important person. When they see a funeral at home, they are not very strong in suppressing it. In their eyes, ensuring basic social security and order is enough. It is this kind of inaction that makes the medical dispute intensify without any scruples.

Netizen @小飞 insect_V5

shared on Weibo a story about the Chinese medical troubles that occurred in the United States. A Chinese couple took their children to see a doctor in the United States, and then... They made trouble in the emergency room after they disagreed. The police came and they dared to pinch the nurse Hiroko, and then his arm was smashed by the police. Through this, you will find that with the strong enforcement of the law, this kind of medical trouble can be quickly suppressed. It is precisely because of the tough attitude and prompt execution of the American police that medical riots and even violent medical riots rarely occur. The United States also has specialized hospital police whose main responsibility is to ensure the safety of hospitals and medical staff. Even if the police are injured or killed or injured at the medical scene, the police will not be held legally responsible. In China, medical disputes are generally classified as medical disputes and will not be easily upgraded to criminal cases. In addition, in the United States, doctors are required to purchase medical liability insurance, and patients are also required to purchase medical insurance. Therefore, once a medical accident occurs, the insurance companies of both parties will communicate and compensate for the accident. There is no need for the parties to meet directly, which reduces the number of positive incidents. conflict. These measures and behaviors are worthy of China's learning and reference.

Combating "violent medical harassment" requires not only a tough attitude from the government, but also active responses and actions from all levels of society. Social progress takes time and requires our collective efforts. Don't be the silent majority. Only by shouting for justice while the passion is still there can we have a future.
