With regard to curbing violence, as early as April 20 14, the Supreme Law, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice and the State Health Planning Commission jointly promulgated the Opinions on Punishing Medical-related Crimes according to Law and Maintaining Normal Medical Order, clearly stipulating that six types of medical-related crimes, such as beating or intentional killing and injuring medical personnel, will be severely punished. 20 15, 165438+ 1 year 10, in October, the criminal law amendment of People's Republic of China (PRC) (IX) came into effect, and medical disputes were incorporated into the criminal law.
However, according to the survey of China Hospital Association, there are still 73.33% hospitals in China where patients and their families violently beat, threaten and abuse medical staff. According to the Supreme Law, in 20 14 years, the national courts concluded 55 criminal cases of violent killing and injuring doctors.
So why is "violent medical trouble" repeatedly banned?
1. The long-accumulated trust problem between doctors and patients is gradually fermenting.
The doctor-patient relationship is not like this from the beginning, but in this era of difficult and expensive medical treatment, going to the hospital is based on trust in hospitals and even doctors. However, the shortage of hospital resources, insufficient number of doctors and even too few good doctors lead to patients' lack of basic trust in hospitals and doctors. Every time I go to the hospital, faced with the overloaded patient list, doctors will naturally give some discounts on patients' attitudes and services.
In addition, some unscrupulous doctors have slowly bred the hidden rules of "red envelopes" in hospitals, making patients think that only when doctors accept his red envelopes will they treat patients more seriously and professionally. Although not every doctor will receive a red envelope, the hidden rules of this red envelope are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Every time the doctor doesn't accept the patient's red envelope, the patient will worry that the doctor has not devoted himself wholeheartedly. However, this also laid the fuse for this medical incident. When patients have high expectations for the treatment results, but doctors can't meet their expectations, patients will be even more angry, accusing doctors of accepting red envelopes and failing to achieve the treatment results, so they will fight for it.
In particular, 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 found that hospitals can ignore the lives of flowers in the motherland for the benefit, and public top-three hospitals will take patients' lives to circle money, and the bridge of trust between doctors and patients is crumbling. In the event of a medical accident, patients will instantly lose their trust in doctors, openly and violently create medical troubles, and form a vicious circle.
2. The closeness and inequality of medical information.
In the general environment, patients' trust in doctors is greatly reduced, but due to the lack of medical information, patients have to force themselves to trust doctors because they have no choice.
However, if patients can easily and simply consult the relevant information of their own diseases, instead of blindly trusting doctors, taking doctors' prescriptions and treatment methods as imperial edicts, but studying their own diseases with a learning attitude, then patients will not forcibly throw this pot to doctors when the treatment effect is slightly unsatisfactory or ineffective, and they will have great resentment against doctors. Therefore, the correct popularization of medical knowledge can curb medical troubles to a certain extent, which also gives patients and doctors a new way out and new choices.
However, medical information is professional, which is not only difficult to distinguish between true and false, but also controversial in some diagnosis and treatment. X-ray removes most of the false medical information, but it does not mean that other non-commercial medical information can ensure that patients are not misled by others. Yesterday, based on the medical information panic caused by Wei Zexi incident, sogou search released a new product function-sogou wise doctor vertical search.
It not only provides authoritative content of Wikipedia, Zhihu Community, academic journals, Lilac Garden and other websites, but also professional content collected from "white list institutions" such as regular big hospitals, CDC, WHO and scientific research institutions. In view of the fact that foreign research is still dominant in some medical fields, more international leading English academic papers are provided to enable users to obtain authentic, authoritative and credible medical information.
3. China's legal system is not enough to deal with medical malpractice.
In China, the cost of medical trouble is lower than that in other countries, thus forming a doctor-patient relationship with China characteristics. The concept of "making a mountain out of a molehill and losing money (+WeChat pays attention to the online world), making a mountain out of a molehill and not making a loss" has also spawned an industry: professional medical companies. They are often stationed around hospitals, and once there is a medical accident, they will be hired to help patients extort hospital compensation. Police in China are generally dead. When they see the funeral at home, they will not be tough. In their eyes, it is enough to ensure the basic social order. It is this kind of inaction that makes the medical trouble worse and worse.

On the Weibo, I shared a story about a medical incident in China, USA. A couple from China took their children to the United States to see a doctor, and then they quarreled in the emergency room. When the police came, they dared to pinch the nurse's blog, and then his arm was directly interrupted by the police. Through these, you will find that with the strong enforcement of the law, this kind of medical behavior can be quickly suppressed.
It is precisely because of the tough attitude and rapid implementation of the US police that medical incidents and even violent medical incidents 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 at the scene of a medical accident, the police are not responsible. In China, general medical disputes will be located in medical disputes and will not easily rise to criminal cases. In addition, in the United States, doctors must buy medical liability insurance, and patients also need to buy medical insurance. Therefore, in the event of a medical accident, the insurance companies of both parties will communicate and compensate for the accident, and the parties do not need to meet directly, thus reducing confrontation. These measures and behaviors are worth learning and learning from in China. Combating "violent medical trouble" requires not only the tough attitude of the government, but also the positive response and action of all sectors of society. Social progress needs time and our joint efforts. Don't be the silent majority. Only when the blood is still there, and we shout for justice, can there be a future.
