Healer’s Heart Afterthoughts – The contradiction between reality and illusion

  Aftermath of “Healer’s Heart” — the conflict between reality and phantom At the end of 2010, CCTV 8 did give doctors a surprise with the staging of “Healer’s Heart”, which made more people in the medical industry and the general public enjoy it. Because this TV series portrayed – “CRUSH” – the conflict and squeeze between many social contradictions, but it seems to lack the analysis of deeper social causes.  Doctors are not gods, and medical technology is not magic. Patients often pay a certain amount of money in the hope of receiving “perfect” services, expecting to regain a “youthful” body, and the complete disappearance of their diseases. A “foolproof” operation is like going to a restaurant and ordering a large meal and paying enough money to get “heavenly” services. Unfortunately, this expectation is often doomed to failure, because medicine is not a panacea. If there really is some technology that can make people immortal and rejuvenate, then we may have to say hello to Qin Shi Huang, listen to the teachings of Chairman Mao, or even the people of the earth for the people, we have long been “family planning” off.  Why do patients have such ideas? —– This is the result of an obvious lack of basic scientific knowledge. For example, people often say that leg pain is caused by wind or cold, but how many people know that this is not the case. There are many reasons for leg pain, the sciatic nerve compression will leg pain, osteoarthritis of the knee will also leg pain, osteoporosis will also leg pain, rheumatic, rheumatoid arthritis will also leg pain 。。。。。。 The skin of the whole body is dense, and even the water cannot penetrate easily from the outside when taking a bath, how can the wind scrape into the bones? The body temperature is about 37 degrees, how the cold resides in the bones? And these basic physiological knowledge, how many people in the country know? Where to learn medical science knowledge? The Internet? Oh, how much of it is completely true and rigorous? How many people are interested in reading it? How much of the middle school and high school curriculum is devoted to these lessons of life, death and illness? Doctors just want to popularize science knowledge to the people, where can they get more audience?  Why can patients have such an idea? —– This is the result of the country’s lack of burden on the national health care costs. The country’s medical spending as a percentage of GDP let alone, we all know. No one wants the people to pay for medical care if they can’t be cured and still pay so much money. If the state covers enough costs for the consultation and treatment of common diseases to meet the medical needs of 80-90% of the population (because 80-90% are common diseases), then how can such an idea arise?  Why do patients find that all hospitals are doing all kinds of tests? Infusion therapy is becoming popular? A cold cost several hundred? —– is largely the result of a law unique to China —- that reverses the proof of the medical diagnosis and treatment process. There are hundreds of causes of fever, bacterial or viral? Intrapulmonary infection or urinary tract infection? What if the medication used empirically is wrong or ineffective? The law of inversion of evidence allows all doctors to open an early umbrella to protect themselves, who wants to spread a legal liability? As the TV show says – if doctors are protecting themselves, who will protect the interests of patients? In fact, the next sentence is not said on TV – “If doctors can not even protect themselves, who will go to the patients?” If you were to be a doctor, you would do the same.  Why is the cost of medicine so high? Why do hospitals use drugs to support doctors? Because the price of medical treatment is too low (don’t shoot bricks, look down first). The current outpatient registration fee and consultation fee is only 5-7 yuan, the specialist number 15 yuan, someone checked as if the price of goods introduced in 1985. Intramuscular injection 50 cents, infusion a few dollars, (not counting the cost of materials for the infusion set), secondary care fee 6 yuan, bed fee about 25 yuan, appendicitis surgery 330 yuan. It seems that the price of goods was introduced in 1999. These years of monetary inflation seems to be quite fast, right? The price performance of that year is still in use, and no price increase is allowed, so how can a hospital operate normally?  In fact, these reasons are known to many people, but the drama can not show so many profound problems, but also need to “protect themselves” ah. Understandable. Seriously agree that “the current reform has entered the deep water”, firmly believe that the future of the medical industry is bright, is the need to wait patiently, it is best not to wait too long, doctors and the people will be able to have a good day.
