Recently, a news report reported a case in which an "old Chinese doctor" used strange treatment methods to cause the patient's death. After feeling the pulse of the patient, the "old Chinese doctor" judged that the patient had some kind of disease and adopted a unique herbal formula. However, this herbal formula did not take effect, but aggravated the patient's condition and eventually led to death. This incident revealed the potential danger of "old Chinese medicine" treatment.
By my side, there is also an example of the great harm caused by the indiscriminate treatment of quacks. One of my relatives once suffered from a chronic disease and went to many hospitals without effective treatment. Later, he heard about the magical treatment of an "old Chinese doctor" and went to see a doctor. This "old Chinese doctor" adopted the so-called "folk prescription", which made my relatives' condition worse and once endangered their lives.
The occurrence of these events makes us wonder: Why is there a quack phenomenon? What is the reason behind it? In my opinion, this is mainly due to the lack of supervision, which makes some quacks run amok. In addition, some patients blindly pursue "folk remedies", which also provides a living space for quacks.
In view of the quack phenomenon, we can learn from the achievements in related research fields. A study shows that strengthening the supervision of Chinese medicine industry can effectively reduce the phenomenon of quack doctors. In addition, improving the scientific literacy and education level of patients is also the key. We can make patients realize the complexity of the disease and the difficulty of treatment by strengthening popular science propaganda, so as to reduce the behavior of blind medical treatment.
In short, we should start from many aspects to solve the problem of indiscriminate treatment of quacks. At the same time, patients are also called upon to strengthen their awareness of self-protection and pay attention to medical safety. When choosing a doctor, you should choose a qualified doctor through formal channels, and don't believe in the folk prescription and divine therapy of "old Chinese medicine". When receiving treatment, we should actively communicate with doctors to understand the treatment plan and effect expectation, so as to avoid unnecessary harm caused by poor communication.
In addition, we should pay attention to the construction of professional ethics in the medical industry. As angels in white, doctors shoulder the sacred mission of saving lives. They should always be patient-centered, guided by love and professionalism, and be responsible for patients' health. At the same time, medical institutions should also strengthen the management and supervision of doctors to ensure that doctors abide by professional ethics and do not harm patients' rights and interests because of personal interests.
Finally, we should recognize the limitations and individual differences of medicine. Everyone's physical condition and disease type are different, and the treatment plan needs to be different from person to person. In the face of diseases, we should be rational and patient, and actively cooperate with doctors' treatment suggestions. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the progress of medical research and the development of new technologies in order to strive for better treatment opportunities for ourselves when necessary.
In a word, the tragedy of the death of patients caused by the wonderful therapy of "old Chinese medicine" should arouse our great concern. We should start from the system, education, supervision and other aspects to combat the phenomenon of quack doctors and protect the legitimate rights and interests of patients. At the same time, we should also call on patients to strengthen self-protection awareness education, strengthen the construction of professional ethics in the medical industry, and understand the limitations and individual differences of medicine.
