“Wuhan Pneumonia” Medical cluster infection expansion hospital: 4 reasons not to shut down the health network without news from the hospital immediately

[Health Channel / Comprehensive Report]Wuhan pneumonia (novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19) in a hospital in the northern part of the hospital spread again. The Central Epidemic Center announced today (17) that one more doctor will be added to the hospital (case 856)) It was diagnosed as a contact of a previously infected doctor (Case 838) A total of 4 doctors and nurses have been diagnosed. Since the first doctor diagnosed on the 12th, there has been no shortage of voices calling for the hospital to be closed, as as the pool of infections has expanded, the closure has also increased. Some doctors openly oppose the hospital closure, emphasizing that the hospital closure is not good for the current epidemic in Taiwan and calling for an increase in the detection rate of hospital staff rather than closure.

Su Yifeng, a chest doctor at Yangming Hospital, posted on Facebook that the current measures that hospitalized patients cannot enter are not a lock; the blockade refers to the same as SARS in the past, regardless of whether they are sick or not. All medical personnel are locked up in the hospital and are not allowed to leave.

Su Yifeng said that from past experiences, whether in Wuhan, China, Japan or South Korea, the closure of hospitals cannot prevent the spread of the epidemic. He explained that the hospital closure seems effective, but is completely inappropriate for the current epidemic. The reasons are as follows:

1. At present, even if a hospital in the Northern District is closed, the epidemic situation abroad is still out of control and there are still new cases of foreign immigration in China at any time, and the closure of the hospital seems to make no sense . Therefore, he believes that medical treatment should be reserved to treat more confirmed patients.

2. There are many ways to close the patio, but the questions that follow, have the people who advocated closing the patio thought clearly?

● What should I do for patients who are currently hospitalized? Will transfers increase the risk of infection? Will staying hospitalized until the hospital closes increase my risk of infection?

● What should medical personnel do if they are not infected? Still locked up in the hospital? What is the meaning of this?

● How to divide patients and medical staff within the closed hospital?

● Where will the 1/5 patients diagnosed in the country who were originally in charge of this hospital go? Will transferring patients to other less experienced hospitals increase the risk of infection transmission?

3. The closure of the hospital is also very unfair to patients who were chronically treated at this hospital!

4. In the end, from a basic moral point of view, the hospital assumed the great responsibility of caring for a fifth of the country’s patients, and the hospital produced several hospital infections, for which it repaid their dedication with attitude carefree, is that so? ?
