Doctor: I picked up attributes in the hospital

Chapter 267 Medical malpractice assessment?

The next day.

nine in the morning.

Ward.

Zhao Heng came to the hospital bed of the girl who was poisoned by benzodiazepine yesterday. When he saw the girl lying in the hospital bed, she was still pale, but she looked much better than when she was admitted yesterday.

After all, after one night and two rounds of hemoperfusion, the excess drug in the girl's body has basically been filtered out.

Drug poisoning is like this, basically relying on blood perfusion to filter out excess drugs in the blood in the body through physical means, as for antidotes and the like, they only exist in martial arts novels.

Poisons and drugs originally only differ in dosage, but in essence, they are actually the same.

"How was last night?"

Zhao Heng asked Wang Tao who was standing beside him.

"The situation is basically stable, but both the liver and kidney are damaged, and the lungs are also perfused. The patient is still in a coma."

Wang Tao said.

His professional quality is still very solid, after all, he has been in the emergency department for several years.

It can be said that doctors with a solid foundation like Wang Tao, as long as they have a suitable platform, can actually have great prospects for development, but the most difficult thing is this platform. How many people have been unknown because they have no opportunities and platforms.

"This can only be adjusted slowly later."

Zhao Heng also said with some regret that the girl is only 14 years old. If her liver, kidney and lungs are damaged now, her body will be greatly affected.

"Doctor, when will my sister wake up?"

At this moment, the young woman standing beside, the girl's older sister, asked very worriedly.

"It depends on her recovery, but at present, she has basically passed the danger of her life. As for when she will wake up, it depends on her willpower."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.

In the current situation, the girl has very obvious damage to multiple organs. This situation is very difficult. It can be said that the girl can survive the dangerous period and save her life, which is considered a blessing from heaven.

As for the coma, this is also caused by brain hypoxia damage.

In this case, it is possible to wake up within a few days, or it may become a vegetative state and never wake up again.

"Doctor, if you can't wake up all the time, will you become a vegetable?"

The girl sister summoned up the courage to ask again.

"At present, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but the main organ damaged by the patient is not the brain, so the coma is only temporary now."

Zhao Heng said truthfully.

"Thank you doctor."

Hearing this, the girl's elder sister was obviously relieved. If her younger sister never woke up again and became a vegetable, she really couldn't imagine what this family would be like in the future.

At this time, Tian Zhen came over and said to Zhao Heng: "Dr. Zhao, Director Liu of the medical department asked you to come over."

"Director Liu from the medical department?"

Hearing Tian Zhen's words, Zhao Heng was a little surprised. What did Liu Xuedong from the medical department ask him for?
You know, in a hospital, doctors are actually most afraid of dealing with the medical department. Under normal circumstances, the medical department will only find a specific doctor unless it is a matter of promotion, medical disputes, or medical insurance deductions.

"Well, it's Director Liu from the medical department."

Tian Zhen said again with certainty.

"I see."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Doctor Zhao, you go there first, and I'll get off work when you come back."

Wang Tao said in a timely manner.

To be honest, Zhao Heng's night shift in Zhao Heng's ward didn't have much to do. Although the wards were full of difficult and severe patients, Zhao Heng had already taken care of them very well, and his condition was very stable.

It can be said that Wang Tao feels much more relaxed now than when he was in the emergency department.

"it is good."

Zhao Heng responded, and quickly came out of the ward to the medical department.

Entering the office of the director of the medical department, Zhao Heng saw Liu Xuedong sitting on the sofa, looking at some documents.

"Director Liu."

Zhao Heng entered the office, said hello and said.

"Doctor Zhao is here, sit down quickly."

Seeing Zhao Heng coming in, Liu Xuedong said enthusiastically.

Zhao Heng is different now. In Dongfang Hospital, behind Zhao Heng, there are a few important people standing.

Not to mention Gao Jun's profound background, as far as Liu Xuedong knew, Liu Shangming, director of the oncology department who was the dean of Lightspeed, valued Zhao Heng very much.

Now that the dean has changed positions, and the new dean has taken over, everyone is trying to find a way to catch up with the new dean, and Liu Xuedong is no exception, but Liu Shangming was famous for not getting in oil and salt before, so for a while, there was no one. who made great progress.

"Director Liu, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Heng sat on the sofa according to his words, and Liu Shangming, who was a little confused, asked.

"Xiao Zhao, did you accept a patient who was poisoned by drugs yesterday?"

Liu Xuedong didn't hold back, and asked directly.

"Yes, the patient is currently in a relatively stable condition."

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

"Xiao Zhao, there are no outsiders here. Tell me directly, is this patient in the previous hospital, did the doctor make a mistake and insert the gastric tube into the trachea?"

Liu Xuedong asked.

"I don't know much about the patient in the previous hospital, but the patient does have severe lung perfusion injury. When he was admitted yesterday, a large amount of congestion and fluid was sucked out from the patient's lungs."

Zhao Heng said truthfully.

"Then it's true."

As soon as Liu Xuedong heard Zhao Heng's words, he knew it was true.

"The dean of Tongshi Fifth People's Hospital is my old classmate. He called me this morning and asked about the patient's condition."

After a pause, Liu Xuedong said again.

"What does Director Liu mean?"

Zhao Heng didn't know what Liu Xuedong was going to do, so he asked with some doubts.

"Xiao Zhao, what level of medical malpractice do you think can be identified based on the patient's organ damage?"

Liu Xuedong said slowly.

"The patient is currently in a coma, with varying degrees of damage to the liver, kidneys, and lungs. If the patient can wake up, at this patient's age, the damage to these organs can basically recover, so it can be identified as a fourth-level medical accident at most. But If the patient cannot wake up and becomes a permanent vegetative state, then it is likely to be determined as a first-level medical malpractice."

Zhao Heng thought about it seriously and said.

According to the degree of damage to the patient's body, medical malpractice is divided into four levels:

The first-degree medical accident is caused by the patient's death and severe disability; while the fourth-degree medical accident is caused by other consequences of the patient's obvious personal injury.

The first-level and fourth-level assessments have completely different degrees of influence on the doctors involved.

If it is a first-level evaluation, it is very likely that the doctor involved will bear the criminal consequences, and a fourth-level evaluation will at best revoke the medical license and then pay compensation.

"Well, that's about it. I didn't expect you, Xiao Zhao, to have such a deep understanding of medical law."

Liu Xuedong nodded and said appreciatively.
