Mrs. Yang bought some time for Yang Jianqiang's treatment, but this time... seemed not to be able to keep up with the time consumed by the review.
A new treatment plan using nuclear radiation medical treatment is classified as "experimental medical treatment" under current regulations. In other words, the effectiveness and side effects of this medical treatment are still unclear. For such treatment, according to
Relevant laws stipulate that it must be submitted by a qualified doctor and submitted to three departments for simultaneous review and approval.
These three departments are the hospital medical department, the hospital ethics management committee, and the provincial health commission.
For doctors, these three departments are simply a nightmare in terms of reporting procedures. The medical department is okay, as long as the experimental treatment plan is sent there. But the Ethics Management Committee and the Health Commission are basically equivalent to "procrastination" and "
Synonymous with "slow progress".
The Ethics Management Committee is a permanent organization in the hospital, with no less than seven members, and each term has a five-year term. The Ethics Management Committee is composed of medical experts, legal experts, and non-medical personnel. If it is in an area inhabited by ethnic minorities
, then minority representatives must be added. All experimental treatment plans must first be reviewed and approved by the ethics management committee. And only after voting permission can experimental medical methods be applied to patients. Number of attendees at each meeting
It must not be less than half of the number of committee members, and regular meetings are basically only once a month. Obviously, the ethics management committee is a "natural danger" that Zhou Jun and others need to face.
Unlike some less formal medical institutions, the Ethics Management Committee of Ningyuan Fourth Central Hospital is a well-known "independent professional organization." The approach of cutting first and reporting later will definitely not work here, and if you just bite the bullet, then
From the department director to the handling personnel, everyone will be slapped from head to toe. I am afraid that the ethics management committee will also directly contact the police to throw in all these "** doctors" who actually apply experimental medical methods without permission.
Go to jail.
All experimental medical treatments carried out without the approval of the ethics management committee are a violation of human rights. The job of the ethics management committee is to supervise and ensure that the content of experimental medical treatment received by patients is necessary and appropriate. At the same time, patients and their families
It is necessary to have a detailed understanding of the risks of experimental medical content. Any form of ambiguity and "foolishness" is absolutely unacceptable behavior.
When the experts were discussing the radiation dose, Zhou Jun called Dean Song directly. Part of the report to the Health Commission could only be handed over to Dean Song, who was very familiar with the government departments. Since she and the Health Commission had
Relationship, it should be no problem to complete the filing within fifty minutes. But what really worries Zhou Jun is the Ethics Management Committee.
The Ethics Management Committee of the Fourth Central Hospital currently has a total of nine members. The chairman is Xiao Lirong, director of the nursing department, and the deputy director is organ coordinator Li Ping. According to the charter, both of them can convene emergency ethics review meetings. However... they are currently able to attend
There are not enough members for the meeting.
Currently, the only committee members in the hospital are Director Xiao Lirong, Li Ping, Director of Pediatrics Qian Hongjun, and the hospital’s consultant lawyer Zhan Junbing. The other five committee members are either on business trips or abroad for further studies. In normal meetings, the committee can ensure that
The last member with the minimum number of statutory members is Liu Pingchuan.
But because this time the treatment plan needed to be revised by Yanagi Pingchuan, according to the charter, Yanagi Pingchuan had to recuse himself from the vote. In other words, the committee that could have been convened normally could not gather the minimum number of people due to the recusal principle.
Zhou Jun almost pulled out a few hairs on his head. He never thought that he would encounter such a moth when his life was at stake.
If it were in the past, he would definitely leave this troublesome matter to his teacher Liu Tangchun, and then concentrate on preparing for treatment. But now there is no one who can help him with the entire emergency department, only Zhou Zhoujun is the biggest.
If he wanted to carry the thunder, he had to rush forward and carry it first.
"You guys continue." Zhou Jun suddenly felt restless as if there were nails growing under his butt when he thought of this. He stood up and said hello to the doctors in the conference room, "I'm going to find Director Xiao."
Xiao Lirong is the director of the hospital's nursing department. She usually has a dizzying amount of various tasks. As long as there are no particularly important activities, she basically stays in the hospital to work all day. And the director of the hospital's nursing department is
The position is actually quite high. Generally speaking, the director of the hospital's nursing department will also hold the position of vice president of the hospital. However, Xiao Lirong has not yet held the title of vice president because of her working years and teaching title.
As the chairman of the Ethics Management Committee, the only way Zhou Jun could think of at this time was to go to Director Xiao in person, explain the urgency of the matter to her, and then see if there was any way to speed up the meeting.
"This is troublesome." Xiao Lirong was arranging work with two phones and a mobile phone at the same time in the office. After Zhou Jun came in to explain his purpose, she immediately ended the three calls that were still online and turned her attention to
Put it on the work of the Ethics Management Committee. "Lao Liu wants to recuse himself?"
"Because the scope of radiation involves the direction of neurosurgery, and the plan itself is supported by Dean Liu." Zhou Jun grimaced. Although Xiao Lirong's working years in the Fourth Central Hospital are not as good as those of Zhou Jun, she still has the support of Director Liu.
Having been a nurse for decades, Zhou Jun usually speaks like an old-timer with a lot of weight. In front of such seniors, Zhou Jun will still show some helplessness like a "late learner". "I confirmed with Dean Liu
Yes, he said he had to recuse himself from the vote."
"When can the treatment start?" Xiao Lirong asked after being silent for a while, "Can it start within half an hour?"
"Xiao Sun and the others have already asked for permission from their family members. I have sent a copy of the informed letter to the medical department." Zhou Jun thought for a moment and nodded, "The radiation plan has been finalized. The only uncertainty now is the follow-up needs.
There is no need to irradiate other organs..."
"Let's wait until next time to talk about that kind of thing." Xiao Lirong immediately made a decision, "Submit the plan first. If you need to irradiate other organs later, then go through the process of modifying the treatment plan and then approve it. I will call now.
If you hold a conference call by phone, you can always gather enough people.”
"Conference call?" Zhou Jun's eyes widened, "Is this okay..."
"Are you the chairman or am I?" Xiao Lirong glared at Zhou Jun angrily, "If I say there's no problem, then there's no problem! Saving people is more important. If there's any problem, I'll take care of it!"
