Yuan Haiwen: Gang An refuses to admit mistakes
Yuan Haiwen, who assisted Mr. Guo, questioned the doctors of the Hong Kong Adventist Hospital as suspecting a fault. Yuan said that Mr. Guo's amylase level remained low for more than 30 consecutive days. The doctor should rule out that Mr. Guo had pancreatitis. Yuan also criticized the doctor for not proactively explaining the treatment plan, medication and charges, so that the victim had a clear understanding of the situation. After he negotiated with Gang An Hospital, the hospital refused to admit his mistakes, held that the doctor was not responsible, and offered to provide a 20% discount on the hospitalization fee if he was not pursued.
Yuan Haiwen will file a complaint with the Medical Council. This week, he will also ask the Food and Health Bureau to follow up the situation seriously. He is worried about the effectiveness of the code of practice for private hospitals formulated by the Department of Health, especially whether the two parts of hospital quality management and complaint management will benefit patients.
