“After learning that the patient was in an emergency, the medical staff who conducted the on-site nucleic acid test rushed to the patient’s home for dozens of minutes of emergency rescue, and then died due to ineffective rescue. The ambulance was The emergency patient of another household in the same community is in the process of first aid, and the emergency patient has boarded the car, and the ambulance is ready to go to the hospital.

At this point, the ambulance was stopped by the helper, who asked the ambulance paramedics to lend the vehicle-mounted defibrillator. Because the patient was in his own home, the emergency doctor on the ambulance could not judge on the spot.Because of the consideration of sending the emergency patient in the car to the hospital first, he did not agree to lend it.

It should be pointed out that although the doctor had an emergency treatment mission at the time, it was inappropriate to do so! I would like to express my deep grief over the death of this patient, and I am deeply sorry for the inexperience and improper handling of the emergency doctor for failing to lend a vehicle-mounted defibrillator to rescue the patient in time!

Our commission has made a decision to suspend the doctor. At the same time, we will draw inferences from other cases to strengthen education for the medical staff in the district. In the face of the test, we will do our best to provide professional and safe medical services for the masses. “
