You know that the emergency room is in chaos these days due to the dispute between doctors, right?? It’s horrible to think that Nana or my family would get hurt in these times.
This is why many people intentionally get into an accident and get hurt, but instead of calling 119 or an ambulance, they go to the emergency room on their own.
If you kick them out, they will refuse to treat you. Even if the hospital cannot accommodate you, giving ridiculous reasons such as being in the middle of a brain hemorrhage surgery or the intensive care unit being full,
if you walk into the emergency room on your own, if you die or have serious aftereffects, you can file a lawsuit against the hospital for hundreds of millions or billions of won.
Or you can file a criminal complaint and pressure them to receive at least 50 million in settlement money. But can you really call this a good tip?
The real problem is that there are too many people who abuse this. As soon as they enter, they show me that they have turned on the recorder and say that if I don’t accept it,
I will file a criminal or civil complaint for refusal to treat and negligent homicide and pay damages if something happens to me. They say that there is no emergency medicine doctor who has not been sued…
It seems that not just anyone can be a doctor. If the number of cases of abuse continues to increase, it will only become harder to see a doctor…
It’s just unfortunate that this is the current law and this is the reality. I hope that we can quickly establish laws and systems that fit the reality so that all those in the medical field who are dedicated to the people can receive fair treatment!
