(A) reasonable use of money is not the same as wastefulness It is certainly undesirable to save money, but spending money like flowing water may not be able to achieve the expected curative effect, I think a few years ago the Harbin sky-high medical dispute case we still have an impression of it. Yang Yufei, a retired cadre in his 70s, was hospitalized for 82 days with T-lymphocytoma and spent up to L390,000 yuan, and also purchased more than 4 million self-financed drugs, but ultimately failed to save his life. This is an extreme example, although the follow-up news reported that the dean and some corresponding department staff were removed from their positions, they are also very wrong, the family desperately want to spend money, the hospital did not adhere to the principle, a condoned, thought to be able to fame and fortune, but do not know no principle is no direction, by the family’s treatment wishes to lead the nose, they also lost their way. The deceased has been carried away, we can return to the deep thinking is: money can not completely determine the length of life. We can understand the feelings of the patient’s family, no one wants to see life and death, and no one wants to see people and money empty, however, choose the expensive is better than choosing the right. If the question is put in front of you, as a family member of a cancer patient, if money is not an issue, what would you do? Use the most advanced treatment method and the best medicine! But do you know what is the most advanced and what is the best? Where do you get your information from? In the end, you should turn to your doctor, right? There may be some doctors who are more radical in their treatment philosophy, some who are more conservative, and a very few who are just trying to scam you out of money. Therefore, you should listen to the opinions of various doctors in regular hospitals, and conduct joint consultations if possible, so that you can get the most reasonable treatment plan. (2) Comprehensive treatment is the key Comprehensive treatment of tumor can be simply and accurately understood as: applying all available means to achieve the ultimate purpose of treatment. At present, the recognized treatment means of tumor include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, Chinese medicine treatment and the newly developed targeted therapy. The ultimate goal of tumor treatment is to keep people alive, and to pursue quality of life. In other words, in the process of tumor treatment, we should not see only the “tumor” but not the “patient”. In the process of treatment, we should always take patients as the main body of treatment, and the formulation and implementation of treatment plan should be adjusted in time with the changes of patients’ conditions, and we should not try to destroy all tumor cells in a hurry. According to the patient’s condition, if all tumor cells can be eliminated through surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the ultimate cure is the most ideal result. (3) Timing is important As we all know, cancer is incurable at the end of its stage, and people would describe it as “late and incurable”, but what about the early stage? Most of the tumors have hope as long as they are detected, diagnosed and treated early. This fully illustrates the importance of grasping the timing. Then again, even if the cancer is already at the stage of detection, timely and comprehensive comprehensive treatment is beneficial to improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time of the patients. For example, targeted therapy and the application of traditional Chinese medicine can be said to be the icing on the cake at the right time. (4) Good steel is used on the edge, and money is spent in the right place The rich person is unfortunately lucky to be sick, because he does not need to consider too much economic reasons in the choice of treatment, however, this also has some disadvantages, such as the difficulty to choose between various treatment modalities. Because they want the highest and most comprehensive treatment, patients as well as their families will go through various means and channels to get information, but because they do not have professional advice or are not willing to listen to professional advice, they feel that it does not matter if they spend some money, as long as they can cure the disease, and this will give people with ulterior motives the opportunity to take advantage of it. If it is just ordinary health care products that are not good or bad, then it is just as well. If the disease is delayed or aggravated because of listening to the boasts of charlatans, then it will be regrettable. If you want to know more about how to spend money correctly and rationally in the face of tumor treatment, and how to spend every penny on the edge of the knife. If you want to know more about how to spend money correctly and rationally in the face of tumor treatment and how to spend every penny in the right direction, you can read “The Way of Medical Treatment and Money for Tumor Patients” published by People’s Health Publishing House, which is edited by our department. “I sincerely hope that this book will be a good reference for oncology patients.
