The philosophy of doctors to save lives conflicts with the management systems of some institutions; A case in point is the case of Dr. Yu Li, who was punished by the school for going to the rescue of a life-threatening child on the way to class, which has sparked widespread questions and controversy.
Yu Li is a pediatric attending physician and a faculty member at Southern Medical University. In an emergency, a child suspected of cerebral hemorrhage needed her immediate treatment, and faced with a dying patient, Yu Li did not hesitate, gave up the upcoming course, and went all out to devote herself to the rescue work; She understands that the decision of this moment is directly related to the survival of a living being.
Yu Li's move caused dissatisfaction among the school leaders, although she later completed the teaching task as scheduled, because she was 29 minutes late, the school punished her in accordance with the management regulations, deducted the bonus of 2,000 yuan in May, and the whole hospital circulated criticism, canceling her annual evaluation qualification.
Many people believe that Yu Li's actions reflect the spirit of saving lives and helping the injured that a doctor should have, and that the school's punishment decision not only lacks empathy, but also violates medical ethics. The pressure of public opinion forced the school to explain and respond.
The school's explanation is that although Yu Li should have saved people, she delayed her teaching work by not asking for leave in time, so she must accept the corresponding punishment; The school emphasized that the institution has its own management system and cannot be arbitrarily discounted because of the nature of an individual's work, and the school also said that the punishment for Yu Li this time is already the lowest level.
As the controversy continues to escalate, there is news that Yu Li has stopped her diagnosis and treatment work, which undoubtedly exacerbates the anger of public opinion.
In the face of the pressure of questioning, the school then responded again, and the school clarified that although Yu Li was punished, it did not affect her clinical work, and the treatment of patients was still guaranteed, and the school also said that it would conduct an in-depth investigation and handling of the matter, and reiterated that it would adhere to the principle of putting life first and saving lives.
Even if the school made such an explanation and promise, the doubts of public opinion have not subsided; It is widely believed that the school's decision to punish Yu Li lacks humane considerations, adheres to the system too rigidly, and ignores the importance and urgency of life. What's wrong with a doctor who is not afraid to save a life? Even if there are procedural flaws, shouldn't they be treated leniently? Schools should look at the matter with a more open-minded and empathetic attitude, rather than sticking to the system and punishing doctors like Yu Li.
Yu Li's experience has triggered a reflection on the relationship between management systems and humane considerations. Institutions are important, but they should not be so rigid that they lose flexibility and empathy, and life should be the highest standard, and in times of emergency, institutions should uphold an open and inclusive attitude, support and encourage healthcare workers to take responsibility and save lives at any cost.
