Let's take a look at this event:
Ms. Tian from Chongqing was doing moxibustion in a clinic, and as a result, her arm was scalded with two blisters. After treatment, although the wound healed, two very obvious scars were left on the arm. Ms. Tian went to the clinic to negotiate, but the person in charge of the clinic said:
At that time, Ms. abel tamata's moxibustion doctor had left her job, and the clinic suspended her moxibustion business. The clinic will not be responsible for Ms. Tian's injury. The two sides failed to reach an agreement.
Ms. Tian said in a rage: I want to respond to the health and health commission!

We can analyze this matter from the following aspects:
First, moxibustion is not a professional medical treatment.
What is moxibustion? Moxibustion, referred to as moxibustion therapy or moxibustion for short, is a therapeutic method that uses moxa sticks made of folium Artemisiae Argyi to stimulate acupuncture points or specific parts of human body, and regulates the physiological and biochemical functions of human body disorder by stimulating meridian qi-flowing, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing diseases and treating diseases.
?
Here we can note some characteristics of moxibustion treatment:
If moxa heat stimulates acupuncture points or specific parts of human body, if the temperature and duration are not properly controlled, it is particularly easy to cause the above-mentioned damage and blistering to the skin and body of the healer.
In addition, it is worth noting that moxibustion, as an ancient treatment method, does have some curative effects, but it also has some side effects, such as blisters after moxibustion, insomnia, excessive internal heat and allergies after moxibustion.
?
People who engage in moxibustion only need to obtain the physical therapist certificate recognized by the Health Bureau, which means that this is a physical therapy method, not a professional treatment method, and the threshold is lower than that of regular doctors.
Second, blisters after moxibustion, is it caused by the doctor's operation error in the clinic involved?
Above we mentioned some possible side effects of moxibustion, one of which includes blistering.
Some doctors reminded that blistering after moxibustion is a common normal phenomenon. Generally caused by the following reasons:
1. Due to the serious pathogenic factors in patients, it is normal to discharge toxic gas and produce blisters after moxibustion treatment. This kind of blister generally does not need treatment, and will disappear by itself after a period of events.
2. Some people's skin will have allergic and infectious reactions to moxibustion. The blisters caused this time need to go to the hospital for treatment.
3. Another reason is that moxibustion takes too long and is too close to the skin, resulting in burns or blisters caused by infection. This situation is caused by the doctor's operational error.
There are two kinds of blisters caused by this situation: (1) The blisters formed by scalding are shallow and will not leave scars, so simple treatment is enough; (2) Damaging the dermis and leaving scars after blisters.
?
Since we don't know the specific treatment process between Ms. Tian and the clinic, there is no specific injury identification data. However, we speculate that Ms. Tian's condition should belong to the wrong operation of the therapist, which led to blisters and injuries in the dermis, leaving scars.
If the clinics and doctors involved refuse to admit it, it is recommended to go directly to the hospital for injury identification and then make further consultations.
3. Do the clinics and doctors involved need to take responsibility?
Although moxibustion is not a completely professional medical method, it also has its particularity. Therefore, when the customer arrives at the clinic to choose moxibustion treatment, it not only represents a certain contractual relationship between the customer and the clinic, but at this time, since moxibustion treatment should belong to a professional and service treatment method, the customer can only trust the doctor completely. In particular, if the doctor does not inform the patient of the risks in advance before moxibustion treatment, it will also involve certain fraud.
At the same time, if it can be proved that the accident was caused by the doctor's operation error, the clinic and the doctor involved should take full responsibility for the damage caused by the patient, including:
All expenses incurred in reducing medical care and income due to missed work, including medical expenses, missed work expenses, nursing expenses, transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, hospital food subsidies and necessary nutrition expenses, shall be compensated by the compensation obligor.

Therefore, the clinics and doctors involved should compensate the woman as soon as possible. If the clinics and doctors involved evade their responsibilities, the woman can not only report the situation to the Health and Health Commission, but also bring a lawsuit to the court.
