About the investigation of Pudong 120 Emergency Center
In response to the situation reported on the Internet that the emergency doctors at Lane 376, Hangchang Road Residential Area 120 did not rescue the patients who called for help, our commission immediately launched an investigation into the 120 emergency center overnight. The investigation is reported as follows:
After learning that the patient was in an emergency, the medical staff who conducted the on-site nucleic acid test rushed to his home for dozens of minutes of emergency rescue, and later died because the rescue was ineffective. The ambulance was carrying out the task of first aid to the emergency patients of another resident in the same community at that time, and the emergency patients had already boarded the car, and the ambulance was ready to go to the hospital. At this time, the ambulance was stopped by the helper and asked the ambulance medical staff to lend the vehicle-mounted defibrillator. Since the patient was in his own home, the emergency doctor in the ambulance could not judge on the spot, and he did not agree to lend it out of consideration for sending the emergency patient to the hospital first. It should be pointed out that although this doctor had an emergency treatment mission at the time, it was inappropriate to handle it like this!
We are deeply saddened by the passing of this patient, and we are 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 committee has made a decision to suspend the doctor. At the same time, we will strengthen the education of the medical staff in the whole district, and do our best to provide professional and safe medical staff in the face of the current particularly complex and severe test of the epidemic. medical service.
