Recently, the news about a woman who called an ambulance due to a sudden illness of a patient caused controversy because the paramedics refused to carry the patient into the car caused a heated discussion on social networks. The incident has raised questions about whether healthcare workers are obligated to carry patients into cars. In an emergency, how health care workers should fulfill their duty to save lives, and how we view this issue, deserves in-depth understanding.
On February 24, in Nenjiang, Heilongjiang, a woman called the emergency ** in an emergency due to the sudden illness of her old father at home, and soon an ambulance arrived at the scene. However, when the medical staff in the ambulance refused to carry the patient into the car under various excuses, the woman fell into embarrassment and helplessness. The paramedics claimed that their waist discs could not be lifted, saying that they were not obligated to carry out the carrying work, and asked the woman to arrange for her family to help. This left the woman angry and speechless, which eventually led to a heated argument.
The attitude and rhetoric of the medical staff left the woman feeling disappointed and helpless. This sudden refusal and shirking of responsibility makes one wonder how healthcare workers should fulfill their mission and responsibilities in an emergency. Are they acting in accordance with medical ethics and professional ethics? This incident has raised questions about the definition of the role of healthcare professionals and healthcare workers.
In such an unexpected dispute, the woman finally chose to give up asking the medical staff to help and chose to solve it on her own, but behind this is a kind of distrust of the ambulance system and medical institutions, as well as doubts about the professional ethics of the medical staff. The occurrence of this incident has aroused the attention and reflection of all walks of life on the medical rescue system, and also prompted people to re-examine the professional ethics and sense of mission of medical staff.
In response to this incident, there are different opinions on whether medical staff are obliged to carry patients into the car. Some believe that the responsibility of medical staff is to treat patients, not to carry them, and that they are not responsible for carrying people into vehicles. Especially in the absence of professional handling tools, medical staff carrying people into vehicles are not only risky, but can also lead to further injuries, so medical staff should not be forced to carry them.
However, there are also those who hold the opposite view, believing that as a life-saving health care worker, they should perform their duties in all aspects, including carrying people into vehicles. Only medical staff can accurately grasp the patient's situation, so as to pay attention to protecting the patient during the handling process and avoiding the occurrence of secondary injury. Medical staff carrying people into the car is not only an obligation, but also a responsibility for the safety of patients, which should be regarded as one of the basic principles that medical workers should follow.
In real life, the boundaries of duties and obligations of medical staff are not a simple issue. Vague definitions and unclear responsibilities in the health care system have led to confusion and controversy among healthcare workers in dealing with emergencies. In order to better protect the rights and interests of patients and the order of medical care, it is necessary to clearly regulate the duties and obligations of medical staff to avoid the recurrence of similar disputes.
For medical staff, when facing patients who urgently seek help, responsibility and a sense of mission are important missions on their shoulders. In practice, medical staff should respond flexibly according to the specific situation and fulfill their rescue obligations in an all-round way, including carrying people into the car. In the absence of stretcher tools, healthcare professionals should also have the skills and measures to ensure the safety and comfort of patients.
At the same time, when dealing with emergencies, medical staff should also reflect medical ethics and professionalism in their words and deeds. Communicate fully with the patient's family, understand and respect the patient's needs, show a professional and warm service attitude, and give more support and care to the patient and his family. Only in this interaction, based on respect and responsibility, can medical staff truly realize their responsibility to save and protect patients' lives.
To sum up, medical staff should uphold the purpose of saving lives and helping the wounded in the rescue work, serve the patients wholeheartedly, especially in emergency situations, and should show a professional and humane service attitude. The responsibility of medical staff is not only to protect the patient, but also to protect the life safety of the patient, which is the fundamental responsibility of medical workers. Therefore, when performing rescue tasks, medical staff should reasonably perform the handling work, provide more comprehensive assistance and support for patients, and achieve real saving of patients' lives.
In modern society, the service level and professional ethics of medical staff are directly related to the trust and recognition of the medical cause by the society, and it is hoped that medical staff can continuously improve their own quality in their daily work, never forget their original intention, serve the public, and inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition of medical care. Let us call on medical staff to put medical ethics first, put patients' health first, and live up to the people's trust and expectations in medical and health care.
