Anger is hard to calm down! Family members repeatedly asked the doctor for help and were repeatedly shirked. The old man died after being rescued.

  CCTV News:It happened in Wenshui County, Lvliang City, Shanxi Province on the 15th of this month. The cause was an elderly man who was critically ill in hospital. His family asked the doctor for help four times when he was in critical condition. Then the doctor on duty was too busy taking photos with colleagues in the whole department to rescue him in time. Finally, he was complained by his family and caused disputes. The day before, on the evening of July 14th, 84-year-old Kang Jinlian was admitted to Wenshui County People’s Hospital for treatment. But the next day (15th), Kang Jinlian died after being rescued. Family members believe that the doctors in this department only took photos collectively during the period, which affected the treatment, thus leading to disputes between doctors and patients.

  The old man was hospitalized for sudden discomfort the next morning.

  The reporter learned from Wenshui County People’s Hospital that at about 10 pm on July 14th, Kang Jinlian, a patient, was sent to Wenshui County People’s Hospital for treatment because of the symptoms of toothache and retching. After examination, Kang Jinlian, a patient, was placed in the intensive care unit of cardiology department for further treatment. After treatment by a doctor, Kang Jinlian’s body was not serious that night. At 9 o’clock in the morning on the 15th, the patient Kang Jinlian suddenly felt unwell, and the patient’s family immediately went to see a doctor.

  The patient’s family, Mr. WuMy cousin started to call the doctor, and the doctor said you should wait.

  Mr. Wu told reporters that his cousin saw all the doctors and nurses in the Department of Cardiology sorting out their clothes and preparing to take a group photo in a public area less than 10 meters away from the ward. A few minutes later, the patient Kang Jinlian felt very uncomfortable again, so the patient’s family looked for a doctor again.

  The patient’s family, Mr. Wu"I didn’t know who my third aunt was the second time, so I ran to call the doctor, and the doctor still said wait."

  The monitoring shows that the doctor takes pictures for about 20 minutes.

  Subsequently, the reporter also saw from the surveillance video of the day provided by Wenshui County People’s Hospital that at 9: 14 am on July 15, all the staff of the Department of Cardiology began to walk out of the ward area and began to take group photos. The photographing process lasted until 9: 35, and the whole process lasted for nearly 20 minutes.

  Mr. Wu told reporters that during this time, they repeatedly called the doctor four times. Until the last time, when they saw that they were emotional, the attending doctor began to go to the ward to give first aid to the patient Kang Jinlian.

  At 12: 36 on the 15th, the patient Kang Jinlian died after being rescued.

  The patient’s family, Mr. Wu: "What I am questioning now is that I don’t question others when I use drugs. I want to question him when I rescue them. First, you didn’t rescue our patients at the best time. Where have you been during this time? The doctor is taking pictures outside. The doctor doesn’t know the patient’s condition when taking pictures. It’s not that we called the doctor not to come. "

  It took about 20 minutes for family members to take photos with doctors four times.

  According to Mr. Wu, a family member, during the group photo of the medical staff in the department, the patient’s family members sought medical help for four times, and it took about 20 minutes before and after. Although the doctor later launched the relevant rescue, the old man still failed to rescue him. He was declared clinically dead at 12: 36 on the same day. So, why do doctors take pictures during working hours instead of saving people? Let’s take a look at the answers that CCTV reporters got in interviews with the hospitals involved.

  Li Haiyun, president of Wenshui County People’s Hospital, told the reporter that the group photo was taken to make a brochure for the department of cardiology.

  Li Haiyun, Dean of Wenshui County People’s Hospital: "Because the original introduction of the department of cardiology is gone, it needs to be re-made. The photo shoot was originally scheduled for Saturday, but it was changed to Monday due to other reasons such as insufficient staff. There are more people, so it won’t take long to change to Monday morning, and it will be finished soon. "

  Li Haiyun told reporters that Kang Jinlian, a patient, was seriously ill at 10: 00 a.m. on the 15th. At 10: 10 a.m., the doctor began to rescue Kang Jinlian, and during the rescue, the patient’s family also found Li Haiyun, the president.

  Li Haiyun, Dean of Wenshui County People’s Hospital: "I met the patient’s family at 12 o’clock on July 15, and they complained that there was a dispute and there were medical staff taking pictures in the middle."

  Dean Li Haiyun contacted the local health and sports bureau and police station at 3 pm that day after communicating with his family.

  Li Haiyun, Dean of Wenshui County People’s Hospital: "In the afternoon, witnessed by the Health and Sports Bureau and the police station, our doctors and patients sealed the surveillance video and sealed the patient’s medical records. On the afternoon of the 16th, the Provincial Medical Commission intervened to have a preliminary discussion with both doctors and patients."

  As for whether the death of Kang Jinlian delayed the treatment because of taking photos, Li Haiyun, the dean, said that it is still under investigation.

  Li Haiyun, Dean of Wenshui County People’s Hospital: "This medical commission has organized experts to conduct appraisal. I think the final result is still judged according to the final result of the medical commission."

  Whether the death of the elderly is related to taking pictures remains to be investigated.

  Whether there is a direct connection between the photos taken by doctors and the death of the elderly, the relevant departments have organized experts to carry out the appraisal, and the final result has to wait for the official investigation results, and there is no conclusion yet. On the evening of 25th, the Information Office of Lvliang Municipal Government responded to this matter through its official Weibo "Lvliang Release" and announced the handling of the responsible persons.

  The Shanxi Provincial Health and Wellness Committee and the Lvliang Municipal Government Information Office have successively released them to the public, and the Jingshui County Party Committee, the county government and relevant departments have studied them. According to relevant laws and regulations, the relevant responsible persons in this incident have been dealt with seriously:

  Ordering the deputy county magistrate in charge of the government to make a written inspection; Admonish the director of the county health and sports bureau; Give serious warnings to the party branch secretary and dean of the county people’s hospital; Give the vice president of the county people’s hospital a warning within the party; Give the head of the medical administration and medical management unit of the county health and sports bureau a warning within the party; Give a demerit to the director of the medical department of the county people’s hospital; Give the deputy director of the county people’s hospital office, the director of cardiology and the head nurse of cardiology dismissal; Give the attending physician and responsible nurse of the Department of Cardiology of the County People’s Hospital an administrative sanction to suspend their practice for one year; Give an administrative warning to a related doctor in the Department of Cardiology of the County People’s Hospital.

  At present, a number of people involved have been dealt with.

  At present, the Shanxi Provincial People’s Mediation Committee for Medical Disputes has organized expert appraisal on this medical dispute. The specific results have not been announced. Lvliang City also requires Wenshui County and relevant departments to do a good job in appeasement and condolences to patients’ families, do a good job in the aftermath according to the mediation results of the Medical Dispute Mediation Committee, and inform the health departments at all levels in the city of the results of this problem, demanding that we draw inferences from others and take a warning.

  Can a doctor just take pictures and not save people?

  In our general understanding, doctors are the first to save lives. However, the medical staff in this incident ignored the family members of patients who came for help and urged for four times, just to take a photo of the department brochure. The purpose of the brochure should be to show the professional image of medical staff, but it has lost the initial intention of saving lives. What kind of image does this publicity photo show?

  Which is more important, taking pictures or saving people? There is no need to think at all! Now that the old man has been issued a critical notice by the hospital, the doctor should know the seriousness of the patient’s condition. However, in the face of family members’ four calls for help, they repeatedly shirked and put photos first. Such a thing happened in a hospital that raced against death against time, which made people angry. We should know that saving people is not only the first principle that medical institutions must follow, but also the basic responsibility of doctors.
