Days, the \"whole fluorine propane gas blinding event\" by the media after the rapid fermentation on the Internet, government departments, involved hospital, involved enterprises to have a case of yesterday, the media interview. A happened in last year's event liability situation how? What is the \"problem\" a gas problem? Whether the victims get proper treatment for the focus of public concern such as compensation, it remains to be further identified and open.

The problem of gas caused irreparable damage to the patient. Involved hospitals use gas, from legal channels to purchase legitimate producers \"qualified\" products. However, it is this \"qualified\" products, let the victim suffered misfortune. Although the two hospitals are found that adverse reaction immediately after the rescue measures, but the effect is not very desirable, only a small portion of the patient's visual acuity recovered, most of the patients with visual impairment. This is life-saving drugs, but the deeper of the patient harm.

\"Perfluorinated propane blinding incident\" occurred in the last summer, but nine months later today is still in the fermentation, the handling of the incident and accountability is not yet complete, some problems have not been clear answer, for example, substandard medicines is why enterprise standard for \"qualified\", openly into the hospital, into the body? Something was wrong, exactly is the responsibility of the hospital, or the responsibility of the enterprise? The victim is properly treated, achieve due compensation? \"The question\" what's the material in the gas, make its appear serious problem? Regulators how to ensure that similar problems won't happen again?

General secretary xi once noted that \"to strengthen the food and drug safety supervision, with the most rigorous standards, strict regulation, the most severe punishment, the most serious accountability, establishing the scientific and perfect food and drug safety management system, both on pipe production, strictly from farmland to dining table, every line of defense from the lab to the hospital.\" Four \"the most severe\", remind across all related departments, should firmly establish and earnestly implement the safety development idea, to ensure that the people life and property safety.

Drug quality problems, a \"cure\" it could become a \"poison\". In pharmaceutical production, circulation, regulatory link, all parties should have the good \"mark\", cannot have a relax. Appear problem, need related department to take out more \"zero tolerance\" attitude, quick heavier, accountability to the end, to avoid similar incidents from happening again.

If the event progress details can timely disclosure and processing, rather than in the media, public opinion rush after fermentation, may make less public doubts. Drug quality life safety. \"Gas\" blurring the line of sight, we hope that further investigation of the event, with accountability for results will eventually show in front of the public clearly!
