In the hospital, Xu Wanting chuckled when she heard the doctor say that she could transfer her 82-year-old father to the hospital. What's going on? Just 12 days old and want to drive people away? Dad still has a tube in it, that's good? The doctor's sentence "It's time" confused her. The "old fritters" in the ward were not surprised: "It's all like this, you have to change after staying for more than ten days, rules!"
Xu Wanting was stunned, what kind of rule is this? How did she know that this was the "new favorite" DRG in the medical insurance industry. This thing classifies people's diseases, one price, more medical treatment and less money. It sounds beautiful, but who would have thought that the old man would be tossed like a leather ball and scurry around the city's hospitals?
DRG, the "fortune teller", calculates a standard price for each disease. The hospital is more than out of its own pocket, but it can't be budgeted? Some doctors complained that they had become accountants, staring at the "balance" of patients every day. Do you say that it is important to cure the sick and save people, or is it important to have an accurate ledger?
No, Xu Wanting's father became a "victim" of this reform. 8 months, 16 transfers, an average of 15 days to lie in a different place. The old man had to lie down and think, "Where are you today?" This is a cure, it is clearly to take a ventilator to "travel around the country"!
The funny thing is that every time I change hospitals, I have to do it all over again. Isn't this a waste of medical resources? Why is this calculation more and more confused?
Some say that DRG is about controlling medical costs. But the question is, is it really cost-effective to toss the old man on his back? Will the money saved be enough to pay for the pain of the elderly?
What's even more terrifying is that this practice is becoming an "unspoken rule". The doctors complained privately: "If you carefully examine the patient, it will definitely exceed the standard." This is good, you have to weigh the treatment, for fear of exceeding the quota and paying out of your own pocket.
There is a thoracic surgeon who performs 80 surgeries a month, and the average income for each operation is less than 500 yuan. Is this a joke? High-tech technology is worth so much money? What's more, because a patient overspended, the hospital also deducted 10,0004 from his salary. This is to force the doctor to a dead end!
Interestingly, the medical insurance department patted its chest and said that there was no limit to 15 days of hospitalization. But the reality is that many hospitals default to this time. Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? There is no one to restrict, why do you all do it without any consent?
Finally, we have to ask: who is this medical insurance reform for? Is it to save money, or is it to make the common people afford to get sick? If even basic humanity cannot be guaranteed, then what is the point of this reform?
So finally, I would like to ask: If your 80-year-old father is sick, are you willing to let him be kicked around like a ball? What do you think about this?
