Can be misdiagnosed as AIDS claims
Comrade Editor:

Zhang Hui migrant workers to return to our village to visit relatives when admitted to hospital due to stomach bleeding, the result was the hospital suspected of HIV infection, notified to the Hui village where the disease. As a special condition, city health and epidemic prevention departments Hui testing, the results rejected the hospital's diagnostic conclusions. However, the hospital has contacted more than a dozen of the Hui villagers had blood tests. Hui after discharge, to the city health department inspection, the conclusion once again rejected Hui for the AIDS virus. As the "Hui people with AIDS," the news spread widely in the community, resulting in Zhang Huisi like a heavy burden, can not maintain normal workers. I ask, Hui was the hospital misdiagnosed as AIDS, can ask for compensation?
Readers Shun
Shun-readers:

In general, hospital misdiagnosis of patients (ie, hospital services, consumer) will not honor a great impact, but the particularity of this case is that AIDS is a very serious disease, and the virus is spread primarily through sexual contact and body fluids of cross-infection, if a person with AIDS or infected with the virus, often considered to be promiscuous, sexual relations were chaotic. Misdiagnosed as AIDS, the people around this error may be because the diagnosis and its talking about. Zhang Hui enormous psychological pressure so heavy burden, not work. Identified as non-AIDS hospital units in the mere suspicion of HIV infection Hui is the case, the notification to the Hui village where the disease. Later, the city health department has denied its diagnostic conclusions, still stick to their wrong views, resulting in Hui suffered serious mental harm, in a certain range of damaging the reputation of the Hui.

According to "Consumer Protection Law" Article 43, the operator "against the dignity of consumers or consumer freedom violations, it shall stop the infringement, rehabilitation, eliminating the effects of apology and damages." Zhang Hui reason to the local Consumer Council or to the people's court proceedings, require hospitals within a certain range apologize and compensate for the removal of economic loss, mental damage and diagnostic fees.

Hospital management is the most backward of all trades

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Hospital management is the most backward of all trades
Write down the subject, feeling very helpless, but the reality is that, the hospital management is the most backward in all industries. Engaged in medical work more than 5 years of medical workers, do not feel the same?

Backwardness of the health care system does not need to talk about, we all know.

Imperfect incentive
In the hospital the same more or less, not more work in the distribution of the fundamental principles embodied. Were part of more than estimated to rely on "moonlighting" "red packets" to reflect. Now clearly the distribution of the pull of the white income gap, only in accordance with the title. Moreover title, purely based on seniority, the only degree of it.

Hospital leadership selection mechanism is not perfect
Selection of general managers of the hospital, most of all come from the experts. In fact, they began to manage the blind are, mature take a long time, studies also largely abandoned.

Hospital information management behind
According to the survey, now in most hospitals, an outpatient registration to get the medicine from the end, the average time of 68 minutes spent. Among them, the doctor an average of only 8 minutes, looking to spend an average of 30 minutes of emergency. Throughout the course of medical treatment, diagnosis and treatment of a doctor actually only 1 / 8 or so, a lot of time patients spent on non-medical time. Many major hospitals for medical treatment in people more conscious of the patients increased under the new situation, still following the traditional pattern of visit. Hospital charges are in addition to the computer of the doctors practicing medicine is also 30 years as of the last century as a pen to write medical records.

Hospitals are not forming a learning mechanism
Doctors need for lifelong learning, to learn new knowledge. But now hospitals are not formed any such mechanism, learning has become a conscious act of each medical practitioner. The so-called learning, but also mostly for promotion and science, English, computer has become essential. , Depending on the status of conscientious study and professional knowledge, it is difficult to improve the overall quality. The number of patients in China should be the world first. Many patients, treatment will have more opportunities, but opportunities, the level has not come up. Why? Because there is no mechanism for the formation of an increased level. Each medical graduates are the elite, work very slowly after a very mediocre general, and even behind the community's progress.

Health risk to individuals responsible for anxiety
The risks of new technologies, major surgery will be at risk. With the dispute to individual responsibility, of course, we all do not want trouble, so I chose to assume responsibility for maintaining the status quo less. If it does not establish a scientific management within the hospital structure, hospital management and reform there can be no substantive progress.

May 9 comic dialogue masters, with Jiang Kun Li Wenhua partner for many years and its long suffering from throat cancer with chronic pulmonary heart disease (pulmonary heart disease) treatment ineffective, in Beijing. Li Wenhua was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1983, 1985, a total laryngectomy the implementation, operation and very good friend for 40 years after the tobacco and cut off relations completely.

10 laryngeal nine were smokers

Laryngeal cancer diagnosed at the age of 40 years of age, more common among men than women. Over ninety percent of laryngeal cancer patients have long-term smoking history, general history of smoking more than 20 years, male to female ratio of 10:1, the incidence of laryngeal cancer and the amount of daily smoking and smoking in the total time proportional. It has been confirmed, the tobacco produced by combustion of tobacco tar has carcinogenic effects in pyrene.

Early symptoms of laryngeal cancer should be careful

Early symptoms of laryngeal cancer, obscured, and some showed only pharyngeal foreign body sensation, hoarseness, easily mistaken for a cold, pharyngitis, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases, can be easily overlooked. Then,
How does early detection of laryngeal cancer?

Hoarseness
This is the first symptom of throat cancer, early feeling of vocal fatigue, hoarseness persisted then, and gradually increased, the degree of hoarse serious than chronic laryngitis.

Throat paresthesia
Foreign body sensation in the throat occurs, such as a sense of urgency or swallowing discomfort, these symptoms are supraglottic carcinoma of the initial symptoms. This type of early symptoms of the disease is not obvious, because of more subtle lesions are often difficult to find. Therefore, the middle-aged patients with throat discomfort comprehensive and careful examination should be done, must not order only by the throat paraesthesia or chronic angina and other hastily, lest bungled diagnosis.

Cough and hemoptysis

Above is possible some of the early laryngeal manifestations. For early detection of laryngeal cancer, who have unexplained hoarseness or throat foreign body sensation, the normal symptoms not improve after conservative treatment, especially over 40 years of age, a hoarse voice for more than 2 weeks should be a detailed jets endoscopy to early detection of laryngeal cancer to diagnosis.

Myopia and hyperopia, the selection of sunglasses

Most are plain glass lens sunglasses, so the eye myopia or hyperopia of the people, like matching a pair of sunglasses on the right is not so simple. Then, eyes myopia or hyperopia of the owner of a matching sunglasses do?

Use sunglasses clip or set of mirrors
This is a rather simple traditional method is to clamp or magnet sunglasses by adsorption methods, in the original frame plus a pair of plain glass spectacles sunglasses outside. The advantage is simple, convenient, cheap, handling and ease of use. Drawback is the additional lens options for style, color less, poor aesthetics, is not strong, easy to fall off. The main drawback is that there is an increase in the weight glasses can be oppressive nose and cheek, making it easy sunglasses syndrome. Performance for the eyes or the skin between both sides of the cheek numbness, perception of symptoms such as slow breathing when the nose does not feel like suffering from a cold, and some will even small insects crawling in the face, eye soreness, etc. .

A pair of sunglasses with a degree
Now, some brands of sunglasses will be with myopia or hyperopia, matching sunglasses to the outside of this time can be replaced. The advantage is a Sunscreen and sunglasses have myopia or hyperopia correction function, more natural. Drawback is generally required to go out with two pairs of glasses, change back and forth, too much trouble.

Contact lenses + sunglasses
For people who normally wear contact lenses, contact lenses first, then choose your favorite plain glass sunglasses, is also a good choice. This has the advantage of free choice of high, full and most people buy sunglasses no different. Shortcomings need to pay attention to contact lens cleaning and maintenance, suffers from eye diseases such as keratitis, trachoma and can not wear contact lenses is not suitable for selection this method.

By color glasses
This color changing glasses will change color with the intensity of light, shade, light and strong local lenses become darker in color, low light lens colors are shallow places. Advantage is solved with myopia or hyperopia is not suitable for indoor wear sunglasses shortcomings, both inside and outside a pair of glasses can be very convenient. Drawback is that the more expensive lenses, but choice is relatively small.

Need to remind everyone that UV is the primary function of sunglasses, sunglasses regular factory production over the lens or the package has "100% UV protection", "UV400", "UV" and logo. If wearing sunglasses can block UV rays of the poor quality, will dilated pupils, into the ultraviolet eyes than not wearing sunglasses Shihai much easier to cause eye damage. Regular optical shops generally have ability to detect UV sunglasses instruments can detect your choice is correct. The street of small own it, hawkers glasses often do not meet quality standards, best not to buy.
