Dogs with eyelid fixation treatment … I’ll die in an hour
Only “sedative medication” in the medical history … No treatment
Dogs With Leg Paralysis After Surgery … ‘Blank’ Medical Record Book
Veterinary Association protests “If treatment is open, self-treatment will increase”
Civic group “To cover fertilization, surgical records must be disclosed”
A dog that had been treated at an animal hospital died, but the medical records Gyeonju received did not include the name of the disease or the treatment.
It means that there is practically no basis to confirm whether it was a medical accident.
There was a loophole in the current law where the vet did not have to provide medical records.
Reporter Hong Min-ki reported.
[기자]Jinwoo Jung lost his dog, which he had been raising for five years.
At the veterinary hospital where I went to get the prescription for eye drops, I underwent a doctor recommended eyelid fixation procedure but died within an hour.
[정진우 / 반려견 ‘구오’ 보호자 : 매일 같이 자고, 저는 아들같이 키웠단 말이에요. 저는 그때 이미 이성을 잃은 상태였고요.]In the medical records I received of a strong complaint, there was only one line indicating that sedation was administered and there was no name of the disease or treatment.
[정진우 / 반려견 ‘구오’ 보호자 : 저도 여러 군데 물어봤는데, 이게 진정제래요. (왜 죽었는지) 알 수가 없죠. 증명할 방법이 없어요.]Kim Ji-hye’s dog was paralyzed on its hind legs after undergoing disc surgery.
The hospital explained that it was because a new symptom of melting of the spine was discovered during the operation, but none of this was recorded in the medical history that Mr. Kim took.
[김지혜 (가명) / 반려견 ‘만복이’ 보호자 : 가장 중요하게 사망에 이르게 할 수도 있는 질환이 언제 발견됐는지는 안 적혀 있죠. 수술 중에 자기네들이 육안으로 확인을 했다고 하지만 저한테 연락하지 않은 거죠.]The reason why the medical history, which is the conclusive evidence in the event of an animal medical accident, is so poor is because the current veterinary law is not required to issue it.
If you are asked for a medical certificate, an optometry, or a prescription, you cannot refuse it without a justifiable reason, but you do not have to issue a medical record that contains the name of the disease and the method of treatment.
The 21st National Assembly proposed a law to include medical records as a subject for issuing the obligations of veterinarians,
[이성만 / 더불어민주당 국회의원 : (반려동물의) 진료에 대한 내용을 알 수 없었던 게 여태까지의 상황입니다. 올바른 수술을 받을 수 있었는지 그것에 대한 판단이 가능하도록….]Unlike humans, the Veterinary Association protests that, unlike humans, veterinary drugs can be bought without a prescription, so if the treatment method is disclosed, dangerous self-treatment may follow.
However, civic groups point out that it is necessary to accurately disclose even the contents of surgery to cover up disputes in medical accidents.
[전진경 / 동물권단체 ‘카라’ 상임이사 : (진료기록부 공개가)보호자의 권리만 찾기 위해서 필요한 게 아니라, 수의사님의 방어를 위해서도 필요하다고 생각하거든요.]At the age of 15 million companion pets, as the number of animal treatments and surgeries increases, there is a growing voice that there is a need to reform the framework of the veterinary system, such as allowing the purchase of prescription drugs.
