"This hospital is not professional in this kind of disease, I know a retired old Chinese medicine doctor, who is very skilled, and he is sitting in a nearby clinic ...... consultWhen I met a "well-wisher" who came to talk to me in the hospital, the patient who sought medical treatment followed his advice to change hospitals for treatment, but was fooled into a "black clinic".
Recently, the Shanghai Pudong New Area Procuratorate handled a medical trust gang fraud case, the gang has a clear division of labor, and the fraud was carried out in major hospitals in Shanghai, involving more than 1,800 victims and involving more than 700 yuan. After the Pudong New Area Procuratorate initiated a public prosecution, the court recently sentenced 23 of the defendants to criminal detention ranging from six months to two years in prison for fraud, and the remaining defendants are still under trial.
The "sky-high consultation fee" aroused the suspicion of the patient's family.
In May 2023, Mr. Zhao accompanied his mother to see a stomach problem in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai. **While waiting for the doctor, a man approached Mr. Zhao to talk to him. In the process of exchanging his condition, the man revealed that he had also suffered from stomach problems, which he had been cured by a retired veteran specialist at the hospital, who was currently sitting in a Chinese medicine hall. At this time, a strange woman next to him also came up, and after hearing the old expert's superb medical skills, she said that she wanted to go to the doctor, and invited Mr. Zhao and his family to go with her.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Mr. Zhao and his family came to the Chinese medicine hall where the old expert was located with the woman. At the front desk, a gray-haired doctor in a white lab coat in the consultation room treated Mr. Zhao's mother and wrote a prescription for him, and another medical assistant wrote the course of treatment on the prescription. During the whole treatment process, Mr. Zhao was surprised to find that the ** fee plus the medicine fee actually needed to pay 8,303 yuan.
Mr. Zhao, who realized that he might have been deceived, went to the police station to report the case on the same day. Coincidentally, in addition to Mr. Zhao, a number of other victims reported the same experience one after another. After investigation by the public security organs, a medical care gang that specializes in defrauding patients in several hospitals in Shanghai surfaced. In July 2023, the public security organs will arrest dozens of criminal suspects from the medical trust gang led by Yi and Deng, and transfer them to the Pudong New Area Procuratorate for review and prosecution in August of the same year.
Set up a bureau] medical trust to cooperate, do a full set of plays.
After investigation, in March 2023, Deng, who had been imprisoned for medical trust fraud, returned to his old business and cooperated with Yi to operate a number of traditional Chinese medicine halls in Shanghai. Named "Chinese Medicine Hall", it is actually a "black clinic" that hires medical trusts to coax patients to come to fake experts to see a doctor, and then sells ** Chinese medicine.
In order to confuse patients, these "black clinics" are affiliated with qualified regular Chinese medicine halls, and rent space in regular clinics to set up guide desks, ** places, and consultation rooms, and 3 people including Li Moujie pretend to be retired old Chinese medicine doctors with excellent medical skills. Such a business site undoubtedly adds a formal and professional "coat" to the "black clinic", and sometimes the affiliated regular clinic engages in activities, and some ordinary patients will also be attracted, but in the end they are confused into the consultation room of fake experts.
The "black clinic" not only decorates the façade as a regular hospital, but also the entire treatment process is enough to confuse the real with the fake. Dozens of medical trustees in Yi's gang are scattered in the waiting rooms of major hospitals in Shanghai, and usually use several medical trustees to find customers in a cooperative way, some accosting, some helping, and some pretending to be patients to go to the Chinese medicine hall to see a doctor. In order not to expose flaws, the medical trust also has to go through the whole process of **, medical treatment, prescription and payment.
After the deceived patient pays the drug fee, the medical trust can take a 55% of the fee, and if the patient can come back for a follow-up visit, the medical trust can also get another commission. As a result, most of the medical trustees keep in touch with the patients, falsely claiming that they "have a good effect after taking the medicine" to lure the patients into falling for it again. However, the victim's condition did not improve after taking these ** Chinese medicines, and some people even had symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort.
Truth] Pseudonymous doctors indiscriminately prescribe "tiger and wolf medicine".
In the process of intervening and guiding the investigation in accordance with the law, the Pudong New Area Procuratorate guided the public security organs to conduct a detailed investigation of the prescriptions and medicinal materials prescribed to patients by the gang. After reviewing the more than 500 prescriptions involved in the case and the medicinal materials provided by some of the victims, relevant experts in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai said that these prescriptions not only did not comply with the provisions of the "Measures for the Administration of Prescriptions" in terms of format, but also had problems such as unclear dosage and decoction methods, and the wrong symptoms, and the actual medicinal materials were even shorter and of poor quality. "If the medicine is not in the right dose, and the decoction is not taken according to the decoction method, it will definitely be harmful to the human body. The expert said.
After review, the three "famous doctors" hired by Yi only held physician practice certificates, and did not have the "superb medical skills" and "rich experience" boasted by the medical trust. In the actual process of diagnosis and treatment, the power to determine the course of medication after issuing a prescription is not in the hands of the "famous doctor", and the course of medication is formulated by medical assistants who are not qualified to practice medicine. The course of regular Chinese medicine medication should be between 7 and 14 days, and Yi et al., in order to make profits, asked medical assistants to formulate the drug period according to the patient's home address and economic situation, generally prescribing a 21-day dose of medicine for local patients and a 28-day dose for non-local patients. In addition, Yi also reached a cooperative relationship with Yuan, the person in charge of a pharmacy (handled in a separate case), who was responsible for decocting traditional Chinese medicine on behalf of him, cutting corners and shoddy medicinal materials by modifying prescriptions. After some operation, the cost of each dose of Chinese medicine is controlled within 20 yuan, while the ** sold to patients is 7 to 8 times higher.
The prosecutor in charge of the case screened and audited all the transfer vouchers of the suspect according to the time he was involved in the case, and found that the total amount involved in the gang was more than 700 yuan, involving more than 1,800 victims. The Pudong New Area Procuratorate believes that the criminal gang headed by Yi has harmed the patient's property rights, life and health rights, and also endangered the order of drug management and the order of the medical service market, and is suspected of fraud, so in November 2023, a total of 35 people including the gang boss, doctors, medical assistants, and medical trusts were prosecuted in batches. A few days ago, the court handed down sentences against 23 of the defendants.
