First, the reasonable use of money is not the same as saving money First of all, let’s look at a case, old Li is a retired worker, his partner is always taking medicine, and his family is not rich. In this year’s physical examination, the doctor found suspicious shadows in the lungs on the X-ray film, suggesting that the old Li further examination, but the old Li felt that his body is usually very good, and not coughing and not asthmatic, there is no need to spend this money. But in the next three months old Li felt more and more tired, and also lost weight. After being persuaded by his partner, he underwent CT and bronchoscopy. The result showed that it was lung cancer with a high possibility of mid-stage, and the doctor suggested that there was still hope for cure after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. After learning the result, Old Li thought about how much money he would have to spend on such treatment, and what he would do to his partner if he could not be cured, and then Old Li saw a small advertisement saying that there was an old Chinese doctor in the northeast who had cured many people without surgery. So Old Li went alone and bought more than 10,000 yuan of Chinese medicine at one time, promising that the medicine would help him get rid of the disease. However, 3 months have passed, the old Li daily drinking these immortal medicine but found that his head is getting more and more pain, finally had to go to the hospital for examination, the original has been out of the view of the brain metastasis. The doctor said that the development of Lao Li’s condition is now incurable …… Here we analyze the case, Lao Li initially found lung shadows when if you can further examination, then it may be then or early, perhaps after surgery without adjuvant therapy can be cured, so that the treatment cost is about ten thousand yuan. After 3 months of delay, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. If he had actively cooperated with the doctor instead of listening to false advertisements, he could have been cured, but the cost would have been bigger, maybe 100,000 or even 200,000. But nowadays, Lao Li has already developed brain metastasis, which is in advanced stage, and with the current level of treatment, he may have less than 1 year to live. Therefore, we can see that saving money is never the same as using money wisely, but delaying the best time for treatment. Second, medical reimbursement is a guarantee No matter what type of medical reimbursement, its existence itself is to reduce the patient’s financial losses, so advocate full use, which includes publicly funded medical care, medical insurance, commercial insurance, a small old, and new rural cooperative medical care. In other words, we should give priority to those drugs and treatments within the scope of reimbursement in the process of treatment, under the premise of effective treatment of the disease, so as to make the best use of it. Third, clinical trials are opportunities Some people resist clinical trials with or without reason, feeling that they have become the object of the trial. In fact, all kinds of clinical trials will pass both animal experiments and clinical trials before they can be put on clinical trials, and there is also an ethics committee outside the experimental team to help patients to keep watch. The reasons why we promote participation in clinical trials are mainly based on both efficacy and economic considerations. The number of drugs available for cancer treatment is rapidly changing, and their efficacy is growing like sesame seeds. Participating in clinical trials is generally free of charge or medical benefits, and it is the best choice to use the most promising international or domestic drugs for free treatment with or without money. Confucius said, “There must be a teacher for three people”, but in today’s society, especially in the treatment of cancer, there are three kinds of people whose words are best not to be listened to. The second type of people should not be trusted, which is the information from informal medical sources, including various kinds of advertisements and non-professional newspapers; the third type of people can be used as reference but cannot be easily believed, which is patients. In addition, each person has a suitable treatment for themselves, suitable for him may not be suitable for you. If you’re in financial difficulty, it’s not a bad idea to opt for pure Chinese medicine. However, the premise is that you must choose a professional TCM oncologist. Chinese medicine has its own unique feature in improving the symptoms, and some patients have indeed prolonged their survival through pure Chinese medicine treatment.
