Many people say that hospitals sometimes over-treat patients, resulting in increased medical expenses for patients, because doctors get more income through over-treatment, is this really the case?
Some netizens said that the hospital took more than 1,500 fish bones, is this considered excessive medical treatment?
Mom ate fish at noon today, and stuck a thorn in her throat. I went to a people's hospital first. They don't have an otolaryngologist at noon. After being referred, I went to a large military hospital, and there was an otolaryngology doctor on duty at noon.
Enter the hospital at 1:30 p.m., go to the hospital ward first, ** fee 15 yuan, and find a doctor on duty. The doctor tried twice, saying that he could not see the thorn, and that he would have to wait until half past two to go to work to do a laryngoscope, and if he could find it, he could take it out directly with the laryngoscope. So I waited until half past two, spent more than 300, and still didn't find it. The laryngoscopy doctor suggested doing a CT to confirm the location and then see how to deal with it, if the CT could not be found, it may have been swallowed.
Do CT, more than 300, about an hour and a half, the results come out, find the fish bone, pierced in the esophagus, 19 long. With the results of the examination, I transferred to the gastroenterology department, first did an electrocardiogram, and then went to the gastroscope, more than 100 plus more than 600. I did a gastroscopy at five o'clock, and I clearly saw a big thorn stuck in it, and this time it was finally done.
From half past one to half past five, the inspection and ** lasted more than 4 hours and spent more than 1,500 yuan, and finally solved this small fish bone.
Is this over-medical?If you think about it, it shouldn't count. However, the costs are indeed not cheap, especially the gastroscopy costs more than 600, but fortunately, the medical insurance pays about half. So how did the things that could be solved with 15 pieces and a pair of tweezers evolve to more than 1,500?The key is not to eat many dishes in the future, it is possible that the harder you work, the deeper the card will be, and the more troublesome it will be to deal with.
Netizens also expressed their opinions on this, 17 cm, pierced in the esophagus, in the era of no Western medicine, this was a terminal disease, and it was certain to die. Now I can buy it back with the money of a meal, is it expensive?This netizen suggested: It's really unreasonable, don't go to the hospital next time.
The hospital's treatment is fully in line with the diagnosis and treatment process, and the treatment is based on reducing your medical expenses.
The first step is to take it directly, and then use a laryngoscope if you can't see it, then determine the depth, change it to CT to determine the position, and then it is also necessary to do a pre-gastroscopy examination (don't say that the elderly are not sick, so there is no need to check, anything can happen if you are nervous about the background, and you didn't say that you should do hepatitis, HIV and other tests, I think you have done less), and finally take it out through the gastroscope.
The reason why you go deeper and deeper is because if you solve the problem in the first step, you don't need to work later, and you don't have to spend more money.
As for whether the charge is reasonable, don't question the hospital, ** is not set by the hospital, now the pricing power is in the medical insurance bureau, if you don't believe it, check it yourself. Your doubts only speak of your ignorance of medical care.
Overall, there is no over-medical, normal procedure for this procedure. The first is the otolaryngology department, you can't see it with a laryngoscope, you must determine the location according to the CT, the fish bone has reached the esophagus, and you will go to the gastroenterology department for treatment.
All people are the same, when there is no hope, you can spend whatever it takes. When the matter is over, I feel that I have lost money. What do you think about this?
