Doctor suspended after pregnant woman jumps to death following denial of C-section in northwest China
A 26-year-old Chinese woman, surnamed Ma, jumped to her death from the fifth floor of a hospital in Yulin, a city in northwest China's Shaanxi province, following her request of getting a C-section, which was denied after hours of pain, on August 31, 2017.
It remains a question about who refused to do the C-section for the pregnant woman, whose baby was detected to have a bigger head than normal and vaginal delivery would be risky in her case.
Her husband said that he had agreed to his wife’s request immediately but a doctor checked Ma's condition and said she was going to give birth soon and did not need a C-section.
The hospital claimed that the family insisted on a natural birth even the hospital suggested a C-section just before the woman left the delivery room to commit suicide.
As the surveillance video is silent, details of the conversation cannot be confirmed.
The accident has gained nationwide attention and aroused heated discussions over whether the pregnant women should have the right to decide if she is to have a natural birth or C-section.
“產(chǎn)婦跳樓事件”追蹤：主治醫(yī)生被停職配合調(diào)查 8月31日晚8點(diǎn)左右，陜西省榆林市第一醫(yī)院綏德院區(qū)住院部5樓，一名待產(chǎn)孕婦從樓上墜下身亡。
9月3日，榆林市第一醫(yī)院綏德院區(qū)發(fā)表聲明稱(chēng)，“產(chǎn)婦馬某在生產(chǎn)期間，因疼痛煩躁不安，多次強(qiáng)行離開(kāi)待產(chǎn)室，向家屬要求剖宮產(chǎn)；主管醫(yī)生、助產(chǎn)士、科主任也向家屬提出剖宮產(chǎn)建議，均被家屬拒絕。最終，產(chǎn)婦因難忍疼痛，導(dǎo)致情緒失控跳樓。醫(yī)護(hù)人員及時(shí)予以搶救，但因傷勢(shì)過(guò)重，搶救無(wú)效。產(chǎn)婦跳樓身亡的根本原因與該院診療行為無(wú)關(guān)?！?/span>
而家屬一方并不認(rèn)可這種說(shuō)法。產(chǎn)婦的丈夫延先生說(shuō)，“30日住院以后做的B超簽了一回單。當(dāng)時(shí)醫(yī)生來(lái)了，看了以后說(shuō)一切都好，正常。問(wèn)我們選擇剖腹產(chǎn)還是順產(chǎn)，我問(wèn)順產(chǎn)生不下來(lái)的情況下可不可以選擇剖腹產(chǎn)，他說(shuō)可以。所以，我們首先選擇了順產(chǎn)。從8月31日早上8點(diǎn)多進(jìn)去，她就一直在產(chǎn)房里，中途給送了兩次飯都沒(méi)見(jiàn)上。當(dāng)時(shí)她出來(lái)后說(shuō)疼，想要剖腹產(chǎn)。我就找醫(yī)生。當(dāng)時(shí)醫(yī)生過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō)再檢查一下看看。后來(lái)她說(shuō)她疼得不行，堅(jiān)持不了了，我再去找醫(yī)生，醫(yī)生的答案是馬上就生了，剖不成?！?/span>產(chǎn)婦的母親也說(shuō)，醫(yī)護(hù)人員明確拒絕過(guò)產(chǎn)婦和家屬提出的剖宮產(chǎn)請(qǐng)求。
對(duì)于“究竟是誰(shuí)拒絕剖宮產(chǎn)”一事，醫(yī)院出示了多份材料：
第一、產(chǎn)婦夫婦在產(chǎn)前簽署《產(chǎn)婦住院知情同意書(shū)》，簽字、按指紋確認(rèn)順產(chǎn)意愿；
第二、《護(hù)理記錄單》記載產(chǎn)程中家屬3次拒絕的記錄，其中有這樣的內(nèi)容：“患者極不配合，要求剖宮產(chǎn)……家屬表示理解，拒絕手術(shù)”；“患者自行走出待產(chǎn)室……家屬仍拒絕手術(shù)”；“產(chǎn)婦仍堅(jiān)決要求剖宮產(chǎn)，家屬仍拒絕手術(shù)”；
第三、院方公布了事發(fā)經(jīng)過(guò)的監(jiān)控畫(huà)面截圖。截圖畫(huà)面中，墜亡產(chǎn)婦曾3次走出待產(chǎn)室與家屬見(jiàn)面，其中有2次下蹲場(chǎng)景。醫(yī)院一位楊姓負(fù)責(zé)人稱(chēng)，“那個(gè)女孩子走出病房，都向家屬跪下了，家屬還不同意?！?/span>
第四、一份授權(quán)委托書(shū)顯示，產(chǎn)婦簽署了《授權(quán)書(shū)》，授權(quán)其丈夫全權(quán)負(fù)責(zé)簽署一切相關(guān)文書(shū)，在她本人未撤回授權(quán)且未出現(xiàn)危及生命的緊急情況時(shí)，未獲得被授權(quán)人同意，醫(yī)院無(wú)權(quán)改變生產(chǎn)方式。
對(duì)此，家屬一方依然不認(rèn)可。目前，圍繞此事的爭(zhēng)論仍在持續(xù)。
把一起個(gè)案化的悲劇，變成公共事件，進(jìn)而誘使輿論分化本來(lái)脆弱的醫(yī)患關(guān)系、夫妻關(guān)系、婆媳關(guān)系。無(wú)論是家屬在撒謊，還是醫(yī)院沒(méi)有說(shuō)實(shí)話，最終，有意或無(wú)意攪渾輿論的一方，都應(yīng)該受到應(yīng)有的譴責(zé)和懲罰。
