11/22/24 - Feels like a foreign capitalist move. If they can’t buy it, they’d rather destroy it…
“Just heard some gossip. High School Teaching Certificate Exam.
One student got the verbal question, “If a student wants to date you, how would you resolve the situation?”
He was blind and read the question as, “If a student wants to date, how would you resolve the situation?”
So he confidently went up there and answered, “I mean, well, after he’s done with his studies, he’ll be over 18, so it’s not out of the question. After all, youth is confident and beautiful.”
After he got out and talked about the questions with the other students, he had a total breakdown.”
Comments say, “What an infamous way to get blacklisted from an industry XD XD XD”
“What was he thinking??”
“With that kind of eyesight, he might not even be able to tell his students apart once he’s a teacher.”
“Just came across a terrifying post. A doctor was doing checkups on an expecting mother and found that her baby had no brain. He reminded the mother that she needs to have an abortion as quickly as possible to remove the baby. By the time she reached 37/38 weeks, she came back and the doctor once again reiterated that she needs an abortion.
The mother answered, “My MIL said an abortion was too expensive. Once I can deliver the baby myself, I’ll just do that. Vaginal deliveries are covered by insurance, after all.”
I don’t even know how to express what I feel except with silence…”
Comments say, “The lady pregnant with 9 foetuses needing to get rid of some is pretty scary too. I didn’t know what they do with the foetuses that get eliminated so I looked it up, and it turns out, they’re just poisoning the extra babies and leaving the other foetuses to grow. Once she’s full term, they’ll take out both the normal baby and the dead foetuses together in a C-section. So, like, several corpses are going to stay inside her for months. I want to throw up.”
“Her MIL might be a doctor, because this is the correct treatment. At 38 weeks, an abortion is more painful and harmful. The MIL is absolutely right in this case.”
“But if it was born alive, it would have human rights.”
#7 hospitals warned by National Health Insurance Bureau. “The health insurance fund is the people’s “sick money”, their “life-saving funds”. No one is allowed to embezzle from it. The “Implementation of the General Office of the State Council’s Opinions on Normalising Supervision of the Use of Medical Funda” emphasises that medical institutions need to self-manage their objective responsibilities, requiring medical institutions to launch self-investigations and self-correction. This year, the National Health Insurance Bureau compiled last years audit situation, creating a list of violations in certain medical institutions in order to direct them to self-investigation, using their self-management to increase standardising the use of medical funds. This is an important act in directing medical institutions to take responsibility for their own management, and is an important sign of medical funds’ strict yet forgiving supervision, and is an important way to empower medical institutions. In this year’s flying audits, the Medical Insurance Bureau found certain medical institutions were lax with their self-audit and did not actively correct the problems on the list provided to them. Some typical problems are listed below:
One. Inner Mongolia People’s Hospital. According to investigation, this hospital has 82 problems, misusing 34.67 million RMB in funds. But this hospital self-audited and returned a sum of 0 RMB to the medical fund within the time period (after the flying audit finished after 2 weeks, this hospital returned 32,300 RMB). Their self-audit was severely insufficient, most of the problems were already pointed out previously but they never totally fixed, and still existed in widespread fashion in this audit. Typical problems include:
Overcharging. For example, “Applying paste” [basically like a bandaid but with medicine—typically Traditional Chinese Medicine—on the inside] should be charged according to the “size of the injury”, with each injury only being charged once, but this hospital charged according to how many bandages used. Diagnostics and pathology at this hospital has shown similar problems and has used up 4.24 million RMB in funds.
Overmedicating. For example, “glycosylated haemoglobin” is a way to monitor diabetes indicators, and this indicator is fairly stable in an 8-12 week period. There aren’t any obvious changes on a short time span. There is no purpose in repeated testing. But this hospital would order several “glycosylated haemoglobin” tests for each patient hospitalised for a short term. For, “[two different tests here, I am having a hard time translating medical jargon]” are both used to evaluation infections. It serves the same purpose and typically only one test is ordered, but this hospital performed both tests on most patients. These behaviours are similar to measuring a patient’s height repeatedly in the same day, or using multiple different methods to measure height in the same day. There is no medical value and wastes medical resources. Multiple genetic tests, hepatitis tests, [and a lot of other tests] have the same problem at this hospital, using up 5.36 million RMB in funds.
Deconstructed charging. If the hospital orders an abdominal CT scan, they should charge once for an “abdominal area CT scan.” But hospital describes the above scan as “upper abdominal scan”, “middle abdominal scan”, and “lower abdominal scan”, and charges three times, with the total sums being higher than just a single “abdominal area scan”. The intestinal adhesion surgery, breast removal surgery, and other procedures all have similar problems, and used up 1.92 million RMB of funds.
There are other illegal problems at this hospital.
Two. Jiangxi Province, Jiu Jiang City First People’s Hospital. According to investigations, this hospital had 42 problems listed, misusing 5.93 million RMB, but this hospital merely returned 19,600 RMB of funds to medical insurance after self-auditing. Typical problems include:
Overmedicating. For example, ordering 4 syphilis test and three hepatitis tests during a single hospital stay with no indicators has no medical value, waste medical resources, and harms patient health.
Overcharging, for example, when testing eyesight or performing lasik, each patient should be charged for each test or surgery, but this hospital will charge patients once for the left eye, once for the right eye, or even 3-4 times total overall. This hospital’s decompression therapy and ultrasounds also have similar problems, misusing 820,000RMB of funds.
Repeated charging. [I am highly relying on the AI translation provided here for the technical terms.] Spinal nerve root separation and laminectomy decompression are procedures of a spinal fusion. The related costs should be included in the price of a “spinal fusion”, and no additional charges should’ve been charged. However, the hospital repeatedly charges fees for spinal cord and nerve root separation and decompression while carrying out the spinal fusion. This is equivalent to a computer mechanic not only charging a repair fee, but also a powering on fee and logging in fee. Other treatments like dialysis also has the same problem, misusing 2.15 million RMB of funds.
This hospital has other illegal problems.
Three. Jilin Province, Changchun City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. According to investigation, this hospital had 38 problems, misusing 16.39 million RMB of funds, but the hospital only returned 1.21 million to medical insurance after self-audit. Typical problems include:
Overcharging. For example, “bone density test” should be charged according to “number of tests taken”, but this hospital charged based on locations. One test at the spine, one test at the pelvis, one test at the lower arms, and each location is charged separation. Or for example, “needle knife therapy” should be charged according to location, but this hospital charged based on “needle entry point, acupuncture reaction spot, and pain spot”. A certain patient was treated in tow areas of his spine, and charged 23 times based on his pain spots. This hospital’s diagnostics and ultrasounds have similar problems, misusing 4.4million RMB of funds.
Overmedicating. Some patients at this hospital were tested on potassium, sodium, and chlorine levels using a “blood chi analysis” and then were tested on potassium, sodium, and chlorine levels using a “blood biochemical analysis” on the same day. The values on both tests are going to be very similar in the same day, so there is no medical purpose. This hospital’s quick blood tests contain similar problems, misusing 1.88million RMB.
Repeated charging. Intubation is a part of general anaesthetic. The charge is already included as a part of “general anaesthesia.” There should be no additional charges. But this hospital charges a “general anaesthesia” fee as well as a “intubation fee”, which is a form of double-charging. This hospital’s urinal catheters and exploratory surgeries also has similar problems, misusing 550,000RMB of funds.
This hospital has other illegal problems.
[This goes on for a while, with examples of hospitals ordering fertility tests for 60+-year-old people, prescribing immunosuppressants meant for use after transplant surgery to people who’ve never had a transplant, doing chemo therapy when not licensed to perform chemo therapy, etc.]
Comments say, “I like seeing happy news like this. Please publish more.”
“Medical insurance guidelines were never clear to begin with. If you know, you know.”
“Now that DRG has been instituted, look at how many hospitals are losing money. Everyone is asking where our medical insurance went. I don’t know, but at least none of it ended up in the pockets of doctors.”
#Market Supervisory Department responds to Wangzai Milk Incident. “Lately, a netizen from Shandong posted a video claiming that their child noticed a strange taste while drinking Wangzai milk, and he cut open the can to reveal that there was a “black substance” inside. The netizen responded to media by claiming that he definitely did not take anything, he opened the can like normal, he definitely did not add anything to the can himself.
In the early morning of the 23rd of November, Shandong Want Want Food Company published an announcement regarding this case, claiming to have performed a full inspection of their production line and haven’t found abnormalities.
Tianyan Search app shows that Shandong Want Want Food Company was registered in Jinan. On the 23rd, Jimu News reporters called Jinan’s Market Supervising and Management Bureau, whose workers claim that this case is currently under investigation. “Want Want has factories in a lot of different locations. We need to look into whether this was manufactured here or not. I don’t know the details yet.””
Comments say, “Feels like a foreign capitalist move. If they can’t buy it, they’d rather destroy it…”
“Pechoin from a few days ago [makeup brand exposed for using banned ingredients in their products…potentially? Shanghai city government’s investigation has said no illegal ingredients were detected], and now Want Want. They’re all nationally-funded companies. Why is no one reporting on foreign-funded businesses? Don’t let yourselves be led astray.”
“We gotta look into the guy in the rat case too. See exactly whose problem it is.”
“There are so many attacks on Chinese companies on the internet lately.”
