        In three days, two patients unexplained death in hebei iron and steel group hospital worker effectiveness. In an interview, hospital director a "50% of the misdiagnosis rate very normal" caused uproar at that time. The chief says, domestic hospital are 50% of the misdiagnosis rate, this is very normal, of western developed countries at the hospital also has 30% of the misdiagnosis rate. (June 11, people net)

        Medical treatment appraisal report has not yet out, hospital director is to place a "50% of the misdiagnosis rate very normal" communication posture, trying to convince patients accepted the fact that families sight. The problem is, it really can be hospital disclaimer gold, and can do well persuade work? This is suspect.

        First of all, the data are not necessarily objective credible. Including academician of Chinese academy of engineering GaoRunLin of guangdong province, the people's hospital LinShuGuang dean, several experts would have put forward, how much the doctor there will be misdiagnosed, and outpatient service the misdiagnosis rate as high as 50% is not accurate, digital sources lack of scientific statistics.

        Even if frank misdiagnosed very high, it also can't become a disclaimer gold medal. In the causes of death before medical disputes, need through the medical evaluation, to judge the death of the patient is mainly disease development objective factors, or because of the required human error? And in the appraisal result has not yet out before, who also don't know whether it is normal or not? If is man-made medical accident, it apparently is not normal. And in this very sensitive moment, hospital director prematurely to go down those any for their own conclusion, are easy to make yourself in a passive position, let a person feel the shirk responsibility and careless to deal with suspicion.

        And, not investigated, under the premise of caocao is one size fits all the way to judge as "normal". Also will be very easy to make an impression: in the hospital's eyes, the misdiagnosis is normal, death is normal. Because it's too "normal", so the hospital doesn't need responsible for it. This wrong expression will obviously hurt to the families of the patients with mental, further to stoke doctor-patient conflicts, increase the rivalry.

        The misdiagnosis is objective and universal, the key is required to treat the misdiagnosis attitude. The response from the hospital, people see is a "fail" attitude. If the hospital treated misdiagnosis of attitude is always indiscriminate "normal", whether it's in response to external pressure, or a "feel at ease" subconscious mind, can make people uneasy, and so weaken the hospital trust. So, this kind of "50% of the misdiagnosis rate very normal" word or to say as little as possible. (WuShuai)
