Chapter 276, Issue 2 (7)
At this moment, the barrage was in an uproar.
[Nowadays, going to the hospital costs hundreds of dollars. After all the tests and IV drips, it costs at least four or five hundred dollars.]
Our local government has to borrow money from the cancer hospital. How horrible is that?
[Doctors at cancer hospitals openly accept gifts, and won't even see a specialist without 2,000 yuan.]
[This is not a problem of Xisui alone! ]
[It should indeed be strictly investigated, especially since many drugs are expensive and not from major pharmaceutical companies.]
After reading the news, Jiang Ningyue turned to look at the director of the Xisui Municipal Health Commission. "Director Sun, after reading the reporter's undercover investigation, do you have any solution for this matter?"
Director Sun broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the video. He had certainly heard about the hidden rules in these hospitals. He was even a participant. After becoming the director of the Xisui Municipal Health Commission, he arranged for his family to invest in a pharmaceutical company and, through his connections, secured partnerships with major hospitals across the city.
I originally thought that this was just an unspoken rule known to everyone, but I didn't expect that someone would tear off the fig leaf so openly.
"Hello, Supervisor. Looking at the contents of the undercover investigation, I am extremely shocked and very angry. Our Xisui Municipal Health Commission will take the issues raised in the undercover investigation seriously..."
"Okay, there's no need to say this kind of official language or clichés."
Jiang Ningyue looked at Director Sun calmly, "Just tell me, as the director of the National Health Commission, you are aware of the situation in the video."
Director Sun smiled awkwardly, "I probably know."
"I probably know, that's all I know."
Jiang Ningyue nodded calmly, "Then why don't you take action? Isn't this the responsibility of your National Health Commission?"
Director Sun's expression was still very awkward. Logically, he couldn't answer this question even if he pretended to be dumb. However, in the live broadcast room of "Questioning Haizhou", there were various BUFFs. Director Sun, a staff member of the same level as Jiang Ningyue, felt very oppressed. Facing Jiang Ningyue's questions, he didn't dare to hide anything.
"This... should be considered an unspoken rule within the industry. After all, doctors are human beings too, and they want to make money and get rich. We, the higher-ups, can't cut off their financial resources, right?"
Fang Mingzhe covered his face with his hands and sighed. This was at least the third time he had done so during this live broadcast. Every time his subordinates spoke, they would go beyond his expectations. He knew they were nervous, and to be honest, he was nervous too.
After all, it was in this position that Baihe City's mayor, Xia Baohua, was arrested. But he wasn't as bad as these subordinates, was he?
What a sin!
Barrage:
【6666】
[Fuck, this director is so strong? ]
[How dare you say that?]
[How arrogant! To be able to say such things on a live broadcast shows how arrogant he is in his daily life.]
"Cutting off someone's source of income?"
Jiang Ningyue sneered after hearing this, "They're trying to cut off your financial resources, right? Is there some kind of money-for-power transaction going on between these hospitals and you, the Director of the Health Commission, that's why you're so resigned to it?"
Director Sun was so frightened that he dared not speak, "This...ah...this..."
"Director Sun, please answer the question directly." Jiang Ningyue persisted. "You've known about this problem for a long time, so why haven't you solved it?"
Under Jiang Ningyue's continuous questioning, Director Sun seemed to be a little defensive. "It's not a big deal, why do you keep asking?"
Hearing Director Sun's cry, Fang Mingzhe thought to himself, "Not good."
Director Sun, like a wild horse, shouted in despair, "In the whole of Haizhou, is our Xisui City hospital the only one that's like this? Why are you picking on us?! In Haizhou, which hospital's internal medicine department doesn't operate this way? How can the internists get commissions if they don't perform surgeries and prescribe more medicine? Don't we have medical insurance? It doesn't cost you much, so why bother?"
Barrage:
[anxious]
[This is so funny! I feel like this director is going to go to jail.]
【The final madness.】
【I got mad at Yueyue’s question.】
[This episode of "Questioning the Government" must have arrested quite a few people, right?]
[That's for sure. Just the demolition site alone would require four or five people.]
["Questioning the Government of Haizhou" is about to become a memorial to the King of Hell.]
Hearing Director Sun's shocking words, Jiang Ningyue sighed with emotion, "Dear leaders and audience friends, this is the director of the Health Commission of our Xisui City. With such a leader, how can our hospitals in Xisui City have a good atmosphere and environment?"
Jiang Ningyue turned to look at Zhai Chunfang, the Party Secretary and Director of the Provincial Health Commission, and Director of the Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. "Director Zhai, you are the head of the Provincial Health Commission. I want to ask you, does your Provincial Health Commission also have this attitude?"
Zhai Chunfang quickly spoke up, "Our Provincial Health Commission has zero tolerance for doctors' violations and will resolutely not protect criminals! Regarding Xisui City Hospital's violations, our Provincial Health Commission will begin a thorough investigation starting tomorrow! At the same time, we will develop a plan to conduct inspections of all public and private hospitals in the province. We will severely punish any doctors found to have prescribed medication in violation of regulations during our undercover investigations!"
Jiang Ningyue nodded and asked, "When can the problems in Xisui City be investigated?"
"One week."
Zhai Chunfang responded, "We will make the corresponding investigation report public by next Friday. At the same time, we will conduct training and education throughout the province's health system to ensure that this behavior will not happen again."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, picked up the microphone, and continued, "Then Director Zhai, why did this happen? Is it because the system is imperfect, or is it because the supervision is not strong enough?"
After all, Zhai Chunfang is not a leader in Xisui City, so her words are still very tactful. "There are many reasons. The system is flawed, supervision is insufficient, there are blind spots, and there are also problems with the education of some doctors."
Jiang Ningyue felt she hadn't gotten any further, so she didn't bother asking. Instead, she picked up the phone and said, "Ordinary people don't really understand the medications doctors prescribe, and many people don't have much of an opinion about them. However, a small number of doctors, driven by selfish interests, even disregard their patients' health and prescribe medication recklessly. This is not only a violation of medical ethics, but also irresponsible to their patients."
After making a few comments, Jiang Ningyue looked at Fang Mingzhe and said, "Mayor Fang, can you handle this matter?"
"Yes."
Fang Mingzhe couldn't hold back his words any longer. He picked up the microphone and said, "After watching the video just now, I was truly shocked. In addition to the problems of some hospitals and doctors, more importantly, I saw a lack of supervision. The undercover investigations by three reporters today all exposed the incompetence and lazy governance of higher authorities. There may also be money-for-power transactions and conflicts of interest involved. We will discuss this issue in detail at the next Xisui City Standing Committee meeting. We will promote a more reasonable and sound supervision system so that when ordinary people encounter problems and difficulties, they will have a place to complain and report them."
Fang Mingzhe looked at Director Sun of the Xisui Municipal Health Commission. "And what you just said is simply not something a Communist Party member or a Party cadre could say! I see you've completely lost your ideals and beliefs. Faced with overwhelming evidence, you still have no fear or remorse, wantonly trampling on Party discipline and national laws! Wait for your punishment!"
When Director Sun heard Fang Mingzhe's words, he turned pale with fright and almost collapsed in his seat.
