Chapter 28 Ethics Management Committee

Mrs. Yang bought a little time for Yang Jianqiang's treatment, but the time was ...... It doesn't seem to be able to keep up with the time consumed by the censorship.

New treatment options using nuclear radiation are considered "experimental medical treatments" under the current regulations. In other words, the effectiveness and side effects of this medical treatment are not yet clear. For such treatment, according to the relevant laws, it must be proposed by a qualified doctor, and submitted to the three departments for backup approval at the same time.

The three departments are the medical department of the hospital, the hospital ethics management committee, and the provincial health commission.

For doctors, these three departments are a nightmare for reporting procedures. The medical department is fine, as long as the experimental treatment plan is sent over. However, the Ethics Management Committee and the Health Commission are basically synonymous with "procrastination" and "slow progress".

The Ethics Management Committee is a permanent body in the hospital with no less than seven members and each term is a five-year term. The Ethics Management Committee is composed of medical experts, legal experts, and non-medical personnel. In areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, ethnic minority representatives are also included. All experimental treatment protocols need to be approved and approved by the Ethics Management Committee first. And it needs to be voted on before the experimental medical treatment can be applied to patients. The number of members present at each meeting shall not be less than half of the members, and the regular meeting shall be held only once a month. Obviously, the ethics management committee is a "natural risk" that Zhou Jun and others need to face.

Unlike some less formal medical institutions, the Ethics Management Committee of Ningyuan Fourth Central Hospital is known as an "independent professional organization". The method of dealing with the first cut and then the prelude will definitely not work here, and if you do it hard, then from the head of the department to the handling personnel, all will be jerked from head to toe, and I am afraid that the ethics management committee will directly contact the police and throw all these "doctors" who actually apply experimental medical methods without permission into prison.

All experimental medical treatments carried out without the permission of the Ethics Management Committee are human rights violations. The role of the Ethics Management Committee is to monitor and ensure that the experimental medical content received by the patient is necessary and appropriate. At the same time, patients and their families must have a detailed understanding of the risks of experimental medical content, and any form of ambiguity and "fooling" is absolutely unacceptable.

When the experts were discussing the radiation dose, Zhou Jun called Dean Song directly. The report of the Health Commission can only be handed over to Dean Song, who is very familiar with the government department, to deal with it, and with her relationship with the Health Commission, there should be no problem in completing the filing within 50 minutes. But what really worries Zhou Jun is the ethics management committee.

At present, there are nine members of the Ethics Management Committee of the Fourth Central Hospital, the chairman of which is Xiao Lirong, the director of the nursing department, and the deputy director is Li Ping, the organ coordinator. According to the bylaws, both can urgently convene an ethics review meeting. But...... At present, the number of members who are able to attend the meeting is insufficient.

At present, there are only four members in the hospital: Director Xiao Lirong, Li Ping, Director of Pediatrics Qian Hongjun, and Zhan Junbing, a consultant lawyer in the hospital. The other five members of the committee are either on business trips or abroad for further study. In ordinary meetings, the last member who can guarantee the minimum number of statutory members of the committee is Liu Pingchuan.

But because the treatment plan needs to be revised by Liu Pingchuan this time, according to the charter, Liu Pingchuan must abstain from voting. In other words, the committee, which could have been convened normally, was unable to make up the minimum number of people because of the principle of recusal.

Zhou Jun almost pulled a few hairs off his head. He never thought that he would encounter such a moth at such a time when his life was at stake.

If it had been in the past, he would definitely throw this mess of trouble to his teacher Liu Tangchun, and then concentrate on preparing for treatment. But now there is no one who can help him withstand the entire emergency department, and Zhou Jun is the largest. If he wants to carry the thunder, he has to rush up and carry it first.

"You go on. Thinking of this, Zhou Jun suddenly fidgeted as if he had a nail under his buttocks, he stood up and greeted the doctors in the conference room, "I'll go find Director Xiao." ”

Xiao Lirong is the director of the nursing department of the hospital, and she usually has a variety of jobs to the point of dizziness. As long as there are no particularly important activities, she basically stays in the hospital all day to work. Moreover, the position of the director of the nursing department of the hospital is actually quite high, and generally speaking, the director of the nursing department of the hospital will also hold the position of vice president of the hospital. It's just that Xiao Lirong has not yet been crowned vice president because of her working years and teaching titles.

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 a problem. Xiao Lirong was in the office with two phones and a mobile phone at the same time arranging work, and when Zhou Jun came in to explain her intentions, she immediately ended the three calls that were still online, and turned her attention to the work of the ethics management committee. "Lao Liu wants to avoid?"

"Because the scope of radiation involves the direction of neurosurgery, and the program itself is supported by President Liu. Zhou Jun had a bitter face, although Xiao Lirong's working years in the Fourth Central Hospital were not as good as Zhou Jun's, after all, she had been a nurse for decades, and she was also an old-timer with a lot of weight when she spoke. In front of this kind of seniors, Zhou Jun will still show some helplessness of "learning late and advancing later". "I checked with Dean Liu, and he said that he had to recuse himself from voting. ”

"When will the treatment start?" Xiao Lirong asked after a moment of silence, "Can it start in half an hour?"

"Little Sun, they have already asked for permission from their families. A copy of the information form has been sent to the Medical Affairs Section. Zhou Jun thought for a moment and nodded, "The radiation plan has been decided, and the only thing that is uncertain now is whether it will be necessary to do radiation to other organs in the future......

"That kind of thing will be talked about next time. Xiao Lirong immediately made a decision, "You report the plan first, and if you need to irradiate other organs later, then go through the process of modifying the treatment plan and then approve it." If I call now for a conference call, I can always get 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 no problem, it's no problem!
