Why does ecmo cost money to boot?

Recently, the number of new and suspected cases in all parts of the country, including Hubei, has gradually tended to zero. We finally got through the most difficult period together in Qi Xin. We were excited and delighted to see that the "white soldiers" finished their tasks in batches and returned to their hometown after being reunited with their families.

And when we gradually get out of the haze of the epidemic and return to normal work and life a little bit, there are some things that we may never think about.

expense

A few days ago, I was surprised to see a set of data about the cost of treatment in COVID-19.

The data shows that the total cost of a mild patient from hospitalization to recovery is about 500-65438+ 10,000 yuan.

And more serious patients, their treatment costs, often can reach "sky-high":

"Gamma globulin" is used in 8 bottles every day, and each bottle is 600 yuan; Transfusion of two bottles of albumin every day, one bottle is 425 yuan; Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation "artificial lung", starting 50 thousand at a time, costing 20 thousand a day; Coupled with other 7788 drugs and labor costs, it is conservatively estimated that the whole course of treatment may cost more than 700,000 yuan.

Now, I think everyone understands why a Chinese-American, knowing that he can't "reimburse" medical expenses when he returns to China, continues to complain in Weibo and asks if he can "raise money with love".

And this is just an ordinary critically ill patient, not the highest. Yang Qingfeng, a doctor at the People's Hospital of Wuhan University, said in a Weibo on March 15:

"The medical expenses of a COVID-19 patient reach1129,000 yuan. At present, the patient is still in hospital, the expenses have not been finally settled, and money is still being burned every day. "

If these expenses are not borne by the state alone, but by ordinary families, many families may not be able to afford them even if they lose everything.

And we, because the country "pays the bill", the country bears all the treatment costs and saves so many difficult families.

Seeing this set of data, many netizens expressed shock, which they really never thought of.

Some netizens said:

1 tens of thousands, if you pay for it yourself, you won't last a day, so you may have to choose to go home.

Some netizens said:

It's not just money. Many patients need five or six doctors to cooperate in turn when they are serious. Together with the daily consumption of protective clothing, one piece of light protective clothing is the cost of 400 yuan.

In fact, that's not all. A large number of medical staff came from afar to help. How can their transportation, accommodation, subsidies, and even their sacrifices and risks be counted clearly? ...

Dr Yang Qingfeng finally wrote in Weibo:

"Maybe only in China will the state bear all the medical expenses for your treatment of COVID-19."

The years are quiet, because there are countries carrying heavy burdens behind them.

force

At the beginning of the year, it was supposed to be a beautiful festival for family reunion, but the sudden outbreak of the epidemic disrupted people's original pace of life.

When everyone was at a loss, the country quickly made a decisive response. Nearly 400 medical teams were dispatched from 29 provinces and cities, with a total of more than 40,000 medical staff rushing to Wuhan.

The 84-year-old Academician Zhong Nanshan and the heroine Academician Li Lanjuan went to the front to fight the epidemic.

In this battlefield without smoke, it is the retrograde warriors who stand in the way.

The state and other epidemic prevention volunteers actively implement various measures to protect and benefit the people. For a time, temperature measurement, information screening, regular disinfection, all kinds of publicity materials can be seen everywhere. Although viruses need to be isolated, they can't isolate love.

It is not uncommon for community cadres to send grain, oil, fruits and vegetables and take care of the elderly and children for residents with difficulties. Residential properties are like civil guards, helping owners to purchase daily necessities and move up and down.

It is all people who shine in their ordinary posts, do their best and unite a "Chinese power" that we have won this tough battle.

speed

In just a few weeks, the continuous spread of the epidemic has kept the number of new people high. The hospital is temporarily short of beds.

In order to create more treatment and isolation space for patients, the country has built Vulcan Mountain and Thunder God Mountain hospital at an incredible speed.

Countless netizens became cloud supervisors and witnessed these miraculous moments. Then, in the next 6 days, we built the largest Guanggu hospice hospital in Rihai.

Although it is fast, the internal environment of Fangcang Hospital is not sloppy at all. Every 20 beds is an independent cabin. Each cabin is equipped with four air purifiers, which have many functions such as adjusting temperature and humidity, inhibiting germs, and continuously purifying.

Hot water and daily necessities are available in the cabin, even the rest area and entertainment area are not forgotten. It can be said that I have thought of everything I can think of.

Many patients who left after recovering from illness sincerely thanked them: China is really good, and China people are really good.

Some foreign netizens said in surprise:

"If this is in our country, it may take two years to discuss this matter alone ..."

But in China, people's life safety is always the first. Make the impossible possible.

accountability

While taking good care of the people at home, China has not forgotten the overseas Chinese.

Knowing that Hubei people in foreign countries are bound to be left out in the cold, the country immediately launched a large-scale evacuation operation, February 1, Thailand, February 5, Japan, February 8, Indonesia, Malaysia. ......

On the tarmac, the familiar five-star red flag and the familiar China people make people cry.

We didn't leave Princess Diamond behind. When people from 56 countries finally landed on the cruise ship after being robbed, people from some countries found that the flight was cancelled and people from some countries were restricted to visas and stayed there. I don't know what to do. . .

And a conspicuous bus, firmly stopped at the dock, hung in front of a line of familiar and moving Chinese:

Let's go home!

It is this sentence that makes the China people who walked off the cruise ship 3 1 1 seem to see their mother's call and burst into tears.

No matter where you are, the motherland will take you home whenever you encounter difficulties!

At this time, I think many foreign tourists who witnessed the whole process can't help feeling: You China people are so kind.

This epidemic also shows our strong cohesion.

As long as the country calls, both large and small enterprises and individuals will stand up and unite as one. Donate, donate, contribute, contribute.

In just a few weeks, hundreds of tons of vegetables and fruits, various daily necessities and protective supplies were transported to areas with serious epidemics in batches.

Many enterprises have stopped their own production lines and started to manufacture medical supplies across industries and overtime.

All members of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group, who have never been exposed to medical supplies, stopped their holidays and urgently began to use raw materials for sound field protective clothing.

Shijiazhuang Jihua 3502 Company, which originally produced professional clothing, began to make protective clothing without asking for anything in return.

There are many such enterprises.

And the warmth and great love reflected behind every ordinary enterprise and individual is the "China spirit" that has always been in our hearts.

People can't stand without spirit, and countries can't stand without spirit.

In this anti-epidemic war, many people rushed to the forefront with the "China spirit" in their hearts.

Go your own way when you are scattered, and be invincible when you are gathered!

China is great because it embodies hundreds of millions of seemingly ordinary people in China.

This year, it may be a little difficult in all aspects, but we will certainly take our "China spirit" with us, be more bumpy, brave and forge ahead.
