Chapter 193 The keyboard warrior is dispatched

Liu Ming's action is still OK.

The next day, various online self-media and some cooperative print media newspapers all reported some medical accidents of mechanical pacemakers.

Some of them are mild, but they are stable after a few days of subsequent treatment, and some are those who have been lying in the intensive care unit for several days before they get through the difficulties due to inflammation of pacemaker implantation.

Of course, there are also those who die due to various postoperative complications that fail to rescue.

Perhaps this kind of case is an individual case, and there may be only one or two medical accidents in tens of thousands of patients.

However, if these cases are taken out and published to the public alone, even if there is only one, it will make ordinary people feel that it is dangerous.

This is how human nature is. Most people will only focus on the cases where there are problems, rather than the tens of thousands of successful cases behind it.

In a moment, the direction of public opinion on the Internet immediately changed again, and a group of people began to condemn the shortcomings of mechanical pacemakers.

When the wall fell, everyone pushed it. Yesterday, the most "safe", the most "reliable" and the most "trustworthy" mechanical pacemaker has become "too old technology", "should be eliminated long ago", "hindering the development of human medicine", and "the dregs of the times", and was swept into the garbage pile of history by "just" netizens.

What’s ridiculous is that people who advocate that genetic agents are too risky and are very unsafe are the same people who think that mechanical pacemakers are too conservative and should have been eliminated long ago!

Moreover, most of them are not at all involved in the medical industry, nor are they patients or families who really need to use these two treatment options. They are just a bunch of online keyboard warriors who can easily be incited by self-media.

On the contrary, practitioners in the medical industry and relevant patients who need treatment have been waiting and watching from the beginning and have not expressed any opinions.

Because they all understand one truth. When they don’t understand the truth, don’t judge right or wrong easily!

I don’t know if this kind of person who rushes to the front line of guidance every time is stupid or really bad!

Just because of the so-called articles of self-media that reveal the truth can be regarded as the truth, guided the world on the Internet, and worried about eating carrots. Today, I am worried about the future development of the medical industry in China, and tomorrow I will feel sad and sad that the lives of patients are "manipulated" by the government.

Isn’t I asking my peers and patients in the medical industry if they want to be “represented” by them?

Yesterday, he was still calling Ruikang Medical's genetic medicines that violated ethics and were very unsafe, and were trampling on the patient's life.

Today I turned around and scolded the mechanical pacemakers of Medtronic and other companies that were not safe at all. They falsely advertised and caused so many medical accidents. Why are they not banned and removed from the shelves and continue to sell.........

What a good guy, Chen Changan looked at the public opinion trend that was turning around in an instant, and called him good guy!

He looked at the comments that abused Medtronic and other companies and said to Shang Ning, who was standing beside him with some amusement: "To be honest, the keyboard warriors are really terrifying. Maybe they think doing this is a justice?"

"But this justice seems to be in the wrong place..."

"What kind of medical device in this world does not cause medical accidents? Our collagen sutures are often misused by some protein allergies, causing allergic inflammation..."

"Anyone with some medical knowledge would not think that it is an excessive thing to have had some medical device accidents in Medtronic pacemakers?"

"However, in their mouths, I feel that Medtronic is almost a rat crossing the street that everyone calls for, and even their boss is about to be "resigned". I am really speechless."

In addition to human-made situations, accidents in medical devices themselves occur from time to time. Many accidents are not caused by quality issues, but by some unpredictable accidents.

Take the pacemaker as an example. This pacemaker needs to be implanted into the human body. No matter how careful it is, it may cause some bad sequelae and complications after implantation, most of which can be solved in subsequent treatment.

However, in rare cases, some emergencies may occur, resulting in serious complications in patients. If treatment is not done in time, serious consequences may occur. The probability of such an accident may be one in ten thousand or one in ten thousand, which is indefinitely.

In fact, in the past twenty years, at least millions of medical equipment failures have occurred around the world, most of which are not very serious, but there are also very few accidents that have serious impacts on patients.

However, over the past few decades, the public has no idea about the accidents caused by millions of medical equipment failures!

Because medical device manufacturers have always uploaded reports of medical injuries and equipment failures to less-known databases, rather than publishing them to medical databases that can be viewed by both doctors, researchers and patients.

Generally, it will not be publicly known to the public. Occasionally, a few cases will be released, and it will be announced under some pressure.

Medtronic announced several deaths to medical organizations in the United States in the fall of 2018. The accidents were caused by two pacemakers, a plastic surgery implant, an intra-aortic balloon pump and a ventilator!

But compared to those undisclosed cases, this can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg.

Chen Changan also knew this, so he asked Shang Ning to collect the equipment accident cases of pacemakers in major hospitals through relationships. He didn't know if he didn't collect it. He was shocked when he collected it. Shang Ning only found more than 20 Grade A hospitals and collected forty or fifty equipment accidents and medical accidents related to pacemakers.

Out of curiosity, Chen Changan once asked his old friend, President Lin of the First Hospital of Gusu City, that the accident rate of medical equipment was the highest.

The answer I got was unexpected and reasonable!

The medical device with the highest accident rate is chest fillers and implants commonly used by women!

Every year, at least 6,000 related accidents in this area occur frequently in China. Leaks, deflations or displacements occur frequently. The most common problem is implant rupture, which will cause great harm to the human body and may even cause cancer!

If you want to talk about the most dangerous ones, they are heart implants, such as heart valves, artificial bypasses and pacemakers. Once there is any failure, they will cause cardiac arrest and will be lost if you accidentally.

Among all device accidents every year, the highest mortality rate is heart implants, which can account for one-third of all deaths!

However, even so, the rate of equipment accidents is already quite low. On average, tens of thousands of patients may encounter an equipment accident. In 100 equipment accidents, only one of them may endanger life.

This is also the reason why some medical devices are still approved for use even though they know that they have accident risks. The two harms are the least. If these implanted devices are not used, the patient may die faster...

But it is obvious that keyboard warriors will not consider this issue. They only think that someone died because of implanting a pacemaker. Then the mechanical pacemaker is a product with problems and should be removed from the shelves and cannot be used!

And there are quite a few such keyboard warriors at all, which can be said to be very many!

At that time, Medtronic guided the launch of Ruikang's genetic agents in public opinion, advocated risks, and used these keyboard warriors to promote the rhythm of Ruikang's medical treatment.

However, Ruikang announced more than 8,000 successful cases of cure after his backhand, and also announced some equipment accidents of mechanical pacemakers to the public, and threw the keyboard warriors back with his backhand.
