In the course of our daily visits, most patients and their families encounter the problem that when they are told that surgery is needed, the first thing they think about is whether they can replace it with another treatment instead of surgery, and if the conclusion is in the negative, then they consider which hospital is better to choose, i.e., one that can guarantee the quality of medical care with minimal risk. The choice is one of the most difficult and headache-inducing thinking. Of course, there are many factors that play a role in deciding this choice, such as the family’s economic conditions, the patient’s physical condition, etc. The author only introduces a few important factors from this aspect of medical treatment for our patients and their families to refer to. 1, the hospital is the most important. This is the reason why most of the patients who are suffering from such difficult and serious diseases of the nervous system need major surgery, and choose big hospitals in big cities for teaching or national level. But for surgeries like neurological diseases, it is better to choose a specialist hospital, such as Tiantan Hospital, Sanbo Brain Hospital, Shanghai Huashan Hospital, Sanjiu Brain Hospital, etc.. Because these hospitals are highly consistent and specialized in terms of management, security, equipment, talents and technology, all the team and staff’s energy and thinking are all focused on this field, all the money is invested in professional equipment improvement and talent training and treatment, naturally their specialized technical level is high. General hospitals at all levels of management staff focus on research and attention is the hospital’s total quality management, rarely like professional hospitals, all managers focus on the refinement of this field of neurological specialty management. 2, the advanced nature of the equipment. Modern technology cannot be separated from advanced equipment, and every technological advancement is driven by the invention and progress of equipment. If there were no CT and MRI inventions, there would be no precise diagnosis of intracranial tumors today; if there were no angiography machines, there would be no clear images of intracranial aneurysms; if there were no microscopes, there would not be a large number of brainstem tumors removed today; if there were no video EEG and intracranial electrodes, patients with epilepsy would still only be able to receive the diagnosis. Patients with epilepsy would still only be treated with medication, if …… These advanced equipment are necessary for neurosurgery specialist hospitals, and are the most advanced in the country. 3, doctors and their technical ability. Although the above two factors are more important, one is the platform, the people can understand the “temple”, one is the tool, the people can understand the “smart daughter-in-law can not do no rice cook”, but usually people are more concerned about the doctor. This is correct, a senior and famous specialist hospital doctor will certainly do a lot of surgery, which means a lot of clinical experience, encounter a lot of unexpected risks, and gradually have a way to prevent these risks and accidents, so the quality of their surgery will be relatively high, and the risk will be small. Once we understand several macroscopically important factors that determine the quality of surgery, it will be helpful to choose the treatment. Here we have to remind patients and their families that two concepts must be changed. One is that one lives only once, and when we suffer from a life-threatening disease, the pursuit of quality of treatment is fundamental; without life, everything is zero. Secondly, what kind of hospital to choose for surgery should be measured by the above three criteria, private and public hospitals are just a matter of concept, ensuring quality is fundamental.
