We all know that nucleic acid testing is an important criterion for diagnosing novel coronavirus infection. The current epidemic is serious, so many parts of the country need to rely on negative nucleic acid test results to enter and exit. Those without nucleic acid test results will be refused entry, and those with positive nucleic acid test results are even more of a formidable enemy!
On the morning of April 15, 2022, the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission at the Shanghai New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Press Conference required medical institutions not to prevaricate and refuse to wait for nucleic acid test results as an excuse. delay in treatment. In fact, the National Health and Health Commission has repeatedly emphasized this announcement before, but unfortunately, there have been incidents such as the “Xi’an Pregnant Woman Incident” and “Shanghai Pregnant Woman Incident”, which resulted in untimely treatment due to untimely nucleic acid testing. . So what exactly does this regulation mean?
Shanghai’s latest regulations: Treatment cannot be refused on the grounds of waiting for nucleic acid results. What does this mean?
1) The concept of “people first, life first”
Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, everyone’s life has been greatly affected. Especially in the outbreak caused by Omicron, many cities have been recruited, and even Shanghai has been closed. When Wuhan was locked down, many critically ill patients died due to untimely medical treatment. So this is a clear rule for medical institutions, that is, patients should not be blamed for nucleic acid. This is also the embodiment of our country’s basic philosophy of “people first, life first”.
2) The “last meter” for everyone to seek medical treatment
For many patients, the most difficult medical treatment is currently The point is in the “last meter” of seeing a doctor, especially for patients with chronic diseases and critically ill patients who need regular treatment, such as tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, hemodialysis patients, pregnant women, the elderly, etc. However, some doctors have been sentenced to prison because of the illegal admission of fever patients and the spread of the epidemic. This has led to such a situation that for medical staff, there will be emergency patients who encounter “nucleic acid-free”, and if the admission causes the spread of the epidemic, they will be sentenced.
Therefore, on the one hand, medical institutions should prepare emergency plans for epidemic prevention and control, and set up special isolation buffer areas. For those who urgently need first aid, medical staff should open green channels by upgrading protective measures. For rescue, nucleic acid testing should be carried out quickly; on the other hand, the government or community should announce to local residents the hospitals that can receive fever patients or have corresponding measures, so that critically ill patients can find the corresponding hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Of course, if we ordinary people are able to have a chronic disease that requires a nucleic acid test and then go to a doctor, don’t take up the urgent emergency resources of the hospital, and go to the doctor after the nucleic acid test, so as not to cause trouble to the country.
Conclusion
In short, a speck of dust in the times , falls on everyone’s head, it is a mountain. We cannot ignore our most essential purpose for the sake of epidemic prevention and control: protecting people’s lives and health. Whether it is a new crown patient or a healthy person, their physical health is equally important. Therefore, implement relevant systems, and do a good job in epidemic prevention and control while doing a good job in the treatment of patients. It is also hoped that various medical institutions will provide specific and smooth processes and guidance for the treatment of front-line staff to prevent tragedies.
