Late-night emergency should be the last line of defense for life. However, in Dongguan, Guangdong, an ordinary night staged a farce that made people laugh and cry.
A patient who was bitten by a cat was unable to receive rabies vaccination in time due to a malfunction in the hospital system.
Event details
In the early morning of July 27, a man in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, rushed to the emergency department of the hospital with his family members who had been bitten by a cat.
After nearly two hours of anxious waiting, they were told that they could not issue a vaccination order due to a system failure and could not be vaccinated against rabies.
The news was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, plunging the man into deep helplessness and anxiety.
Faced with such a situation, the man tried to negotiate with the doctor, hoping to find another solution.
However, the negotiations did not bring any turnaround.
In desperation, he could only choose to call the police for help.
Surprisingly, police involvement seemed to be a turning point in the resolution of the problem.
After calling the police, the hospital finally vaccinated the patient, and the whole process seemed like an absurd farce.
The incident sparked widespread discussion and questioning among the public.
Some netizens bluntly said that without the computer system, the hospital would not be able to operate normally? Isn't there a handwriting system as a backup? These doubts are not unfounded.
However, there are also rational voices that point out that there is nothing wrong with doctors following established procedures, but they should be more patient and explain the situation in detail when communicating with patients. Poor communication between doctors and patients is often one of the important reasons for the intensification of conflicts.
What is even more worthy of our pondering is that many netizens have raised a key question: should the hospital have an emergency plan to deal with such an emergency? In life-threatening emergencies, it is clear that relying on electronic systems alone is not enough.
Hospitals need to have a well-established backup plan in place to ensure timely and effective medical care for patients in any situation.
Netizens are hotly discussed
"You can't see a doctor without a machine, is there no handwriting system? Isn't that a joke? "
"It is not wrong for doctors to follow the process, but they should patiently explain clearly to the patient, and communication is very important."
"Hospitals should have contingency plans to deal with emergencies, that's basic, right?"
"Others regulate the practice of medicine, you want to get an injection, he is afraid of accidents. Quite normal. "
"Not only did it cause the patient to have an accident, but isn't it still their hospital and medical staff who are responsible, and they can still push it?"
"The system is faulty, the doctor can't make an order, he can't pay the fee, and the pharmacy can't pick up the medicine! No way."
Emergency treatment steps in case of being bitten by a dog or cat
Rinse the wound
Rinse the wound thoroughly with running water for at least 5 minutes, which can help remove bacteria that may be present. If you can, use mild soap and water to wash the surrounding skin.
Clean the wound
Use antibacterial soap to gently wash the wound. Avoid applying harsh substances such as hydrogen peroxide or iodine directly to the wound as they may damage the tissue.
hemostasis
If the wound bleeds, apply pressure with a clean cloth or bandage until the bleeding stops.
Cover the wound
Gently dress the wound with sterile gauze or bandage to prevent further contamination.
Observe the wound
Look out for symptoms such as redness and swelling, increased pain, and increased exudate from the wound, which are all signs of infection.
The staff of Dongguan Dalang Hospital responded that the matter is under investigation and the results will be announced after the investigation is clarified.
Hospitals are not only a place to treat and save lives, but also the last shelter of life.
However, when a small system glitch can paralyze an entire medical process, we have to ask: Are we over-reliant on technology?
As ordinary citizens, we certainly want the healthcare system to be more efficient and accurate.
But at the same time, we need a warm and humane medical environment.
In the face of life, negligence in any link can lead to big mistakes.
Therefore, hospitals need not only advanced equipment and systems, but also comprehensive emergency plans and empathetic medical staff.
