The Hunan Provincial Health Commission and Central South University have handed over clues to the relevant disciplinary inspection and supervision departments for further investigation.
Currently, Liu Xiangfeng is under the supervision and investigation of the Changsha Supervisory Committee.
(Health Times, Aug. 28)
Since Liu Xiangfeng is suspected of serious violations of the law, it shows that the previous report has high credibility.
Robotic surgery is performed on emergency patients beyond the indications; if the patient is found to have foreign body tendencies, chemotherapy is usually prescribed first according to the tumor; if there is no disease, surgery is performed first, and even normal organs are removed... This shows that the patient becomes his surgery A money-making tool that can be slaughtered at will by a knife.
Even if these incredible practices exist at a discount, it is terrifying to ponder.
So far, many medical professionals can't believe that such medical behaviors that go beyond the law and ethics can still occur within a well-managed medical system.
Since this incident is so bizarre that it is difficult to understand, we should first treat it as an isolated case, and don’t overturn a boatload of people with one shot and let the entire group of doctors take the blame.
In addition, every detail of Liu Xiangfeng's illegal medical behavior should be further investigated in order to clear up doubts and give a detailed explanation to the victimized patients and the society.
In addition to further investigation of the details, some anomalies in the incident should also be paid attention to.
For example, it is said that there have been continuous complaints from patients against Liu Xiangfeng over the years. Where did these complaints go, how were they handled, and why the important channel of mass supervision was blocked, it is worth investigating.
Another example is that Liu Xiangfeng has always had a bad reputation among his colleagues, and the people around him have a bad impression of him. He was also reported by a classmate Gu Pei. Why did peer review and internal supervision not work? This is also a problem.
More importantly, improving the hospital's administrative supervision, technical supervision, and ethical supervision systems, as well as the establishment of technical supervision committees and ethics supervision committees, are important parts of the modern hospital management system.
Liu Xiangfeng arbitrarily expanded the scope of surgery, performed surgery beyond the indications for a long time, and used cutting-edge technologies such as robotic surgery to remove patients' organs, etc. For such medical behaviors that violated medical technical standards and medical ethics, the hospital's technical supervision and ethical supervision are. How to check, also needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Medical behavior, like all social behaviors, derives order from an effective management and supervision system, not just individual self-consciousness.
Because deregulation of human nature is dangerous, no matter how civilized the society is, there will still be ugly behaviors.
But as long as the binding force of law, morality, management and other aspects is comprehensive and strong enough, society will still become orderly and beautiful.
Medical care is not only related to life and health, but also involves huge interests. Therefore, people cannot be let loose. This means that various management and supervision systems in the medical system are even more indispensable.
Therefore, for this incident, in addition to thoroughly investigating Liu Xiangfeng himself, we should also thoroughly investigate the hospital's management and supervision system, and reflect on why various supervision methods failed in this incident.
If the loopholes in management and supervision are not blocked, doctors like Liu Xiangfeng will still appear.
As long as the management and supervision system is perfect, individuals like Liu Xiangfeng will either be better controlled or eliminated in time, and medical care will be more secure.
