In this world, the life of an individual always comes first, no matter whether the hospital pays or not, the doctor is always the first to save the patient's life, even if it is not in the hospital in other environments, there will always be one person after another who comes forward, and these people are always worthy of our respect.

But in a hospital in Shenzhen, doctors raced against time to save the patient, and put in 1,000 percent of the effort for the patient, but when the patient's life was saved, all they got was a pile of criticism.
It turned out that the patient, Lao Yang, had a lung exchange operation, and the lung source was transported by helicopter from Guangzhou, a hundred kilometers away, and all the personnel attached great importance to this lung transplant, racing against time to make Lao Yang healthy.
This should have been praised by everyone, but the majority of netizens doubted Lao Yang's identity and whether the source of the organs was regular, and they quarreled for a while. In the face of the speculation of netizens, the relevant departments responded strongly, all the processes are reasonable and legal, please stop the conspiracy theories!
01
The course of things
Patient Lao Yang is from Heilongjiang, is a retired boiler worker, because of the perennial dust environment, Lao Yang's lungs have been very bad for more than 20 years, and there have been various problems, so when he is old, he is bedridden all the year round, lung disease is frequent, and he has been in a state of chronic hypoxia for a long time.
Therefore, the doctor suggested that Lao Yang undergo a lung transplant to prolong his life, and the hospital in Shenzhen also quickly took action, and after successfully matching a suitable lung source, the hospital in Shenzhen immediately contacted Guangzhou, hoping to arrange surgery for Lao Yang as soon as possible.
Soon, the organs were quickly transported from Guangzhou, 100 kilometers away, by helicopter, to this hospital in Shenzhen, which is said to have taken just over half an hour.
As soon as the news came out, netizens began to spread all kinds of conspiracy theories, questioning Lao Yang's identity, saying how big an official Lao Yang was, how could he still be sent by helicopter? Who arranged the helicopter? Lao Yang is 73 years old and still has the ability to bear the side effects of organ transplantation? Is it worth it?
Others say, so quickly matched the lung source? How can there be such a coincidence? I'm afraid that the source of this organ is abnormal, isn't it using shady means?
Overwhelming questions poured into the hospital, hoping to disclose the names of donors and the source of organs, as well as to answer positively whether the process was normal or a "green" channel for someone.
In response, the relevant departments responded that Lao Yang is just an ordinary person, without any special identity, all the transplant processes are reasonable and legal, and the source of organs is also in accordance with the regulations, without any specialty, I hope everyone can stop conspiracy theories.
But everyone doesn't buy it, and the official still has to announce the specific information, otherwise there is still a reason not to buy it.
02
Netizens' "conspiracy theories"
A netizen said that his mother is 63 years old, ten years younger than Lao Yang, and has cirrhosis, but the doctor's advice is that she is too old and does not recommend liver replacement.
Netizens replied that liver cirrhosis can persist in persistence, but the lungs can't, and they will die within a few seconds of leaving the lungs. But some people say that cirrhosis of the liver will be very painful, and when the time comes, it will hurt to death.
Some netizens pointed out that it is possible that the doctor can see that he has no money, and the old man is indeed old, so on the whole, the doctor feels that there is no need to bother.
In fact, the meaning of this incident issued by this netizen is why 73-year-old Lao Yang can change his lungs, and his 63-year-old mother can't change his liver, which also reflects his doubts about this matter from the side.
However, there are also sensible netizens, who said that this lung exchange is a manifestation of respect for life, and also gave a thumbs up to the hospital in Shenzhen.
But there are also many people under his comment, who say in a weird way, who respects your life? At this point, I want to say two words, everyone is equal in front of life, if this netizen has a sudden accident, someone will definitely do their best for his life.
Regardless of whether there is a response or not, many netizens have begun to define this matter, rich people in their 70s and poor people in their 20s, the gap in life is so big.
Some netizens responded to his comment and said that since he can perform a lung transplant so quickly, it means that it is not just a simple matter of being rich.
Some people also questioned the fairness of the hospital, this netizen said that the doctor will ask whether it is public or self-funded, and if it is self-funded, it is recommended to go home directly, so it seems that it is better for a person to be a little sick.
Maybe some people can't understand it, but some netizens have explained that if it is at your own expense, the doctor will let you go home because you can't pay enough for treatment.
However, if they really can't afford to pay, the doctor will persuade the patient to take insurance, so that the patient will spend less, after all, they all know that everyone is equal in front of life, and they also hope that every patient can get the treatment they deserve.

The whole process is reasonable and legal
On July 22, in response to the disturbing comments on the Internet, hospital staff said that the matter was handed over to the Health Commission, and they still need to make a statement about the specific matter
A government worker in Shenzhen responded to the reporter of the top news, saying that there is no problem with the organ, it is through the OPO system, and other content will be responded to accordingly.
On the evening of the 22nd, Shenzhen's news network announced the patient's information, in addition to Lao Yang, there was also a 63-year-old patient, both of whom needed lung transplants.
Lao Yang worked in a paper mill before retirement, was a regular employee there, and worked for more than 20 years, his wife is an honest farmer, has been working at home, they both have children, the daughter is an employee of an insurance company in Shenzhen, and the son works in a cosmetics company in Shenzhen, all of whom are ordinary people.
Another patient, Yin Moumou, is also from Northeast China, a driver for a machinery company in Liaoning, his lover also works in this machinery company, and their daughter works in Shenzhen and is also an ordinary worker.
The transplanted organs of the two are legal and compliant, and they are matched through the normal matching mechanism, as for the helicopter, it is just to shorten the time between the two places, and there is no special treatment.
For the questions of netizens, the doctor also made a corresponding explanation, Director Wang of the Department of Thoracic Surgery said that if the patient is in good physical condition, adaptable, and eligible, he can be under the age of 75.
Everyone has the right to live, and this hospital in Shenzhen is also doing this for the sake of patients' health, according to relevant data, the number of people who donate organs in the country every year has reached more than 6,000, and the number of people who have the idea of donating organs will exceed 6.65 million as of 2023, so in this environment, it is normal to be able to match suitable organs.
So don't just hold on to one point, life is short, and the most important thing is to make yourself happy, so why bother yourself for this matter?
