Hospitals have to save lives, but they can't reverse people's subjective will.

The 72-year-old suicide was admitted to the hospital alone, three sons and one daughter did not come to visit him for three days, the old man committed suicide by jumping off the building in a sad and excessive manner, but afterwards, the children thought that there were security loopholes in the hospital and demanded compensation of 490,000 yuan from the hospital.

If a patient commits suicide while hospitalized, should the hospital pay compensation?

It is mainly based on the following two points: 1. From the perspective of the security obligation, whether the protective measures of the hospital's hardware are in place, and whether the duty of care for the victim is fully fulfilled;2. From the perspective of causality, whether the victim is conscious and aware of the consequences of his actions and the root cause of his pursuit of death.

In this case, the elderly man who committed suicide was a mentally normal adult, and on the day of the incident, Fu X wandered in the hospital corridor many times, during which the hospital was unattended, and no abnormal situation was found in Fu, thus losing the last opportunity to prevent the tragedy from happening, and the court rationally examined the responsibilities of both parties and determined that the hospital should bear 10% of the compensation liability.

The four children not only failed to fulfill their duty of care and care during their hospitalization, but also ignored Fu after they knew that he had suicidal tendencies, which eventually led to the tragedy of the old man's suicide.

The virtue of the Chinese nation has always emphasized the first choice of filial piety, "the son wants to raise but the parent does not wait", and wait until the old man dies and then "regret it".During his lifetime, the old man did not fulfill his obligation to support and filial piety, and after the old man died, he began to hold the hospital accountable

After they retire, they will be separated from society, lose their spiritual sustenance, and other factors will cause them to have negative emotions, so we call on everyone to give more company to the elderly while paying more attention to the mental health of the elderly.

Most Chinese have the most simple concept, raising children when they are young, and raising children in old age, now it seems that raising children is really anti-aging?
