Headline: Doctors say more than 80% of pregnant women undergo fortune telling before caesarean section

Xinhuanet, Shenyang, May 22 (Peng Zhuo) In order to have fun, he forcibly changed the delivery date regardless of his physical condition; he obeyed the instructions of the \”big fairy\” and ignored appearance and aesthetic standards… In recent years, patients have suffered from \”numerical problems\” \”Suffering for a lot of reasons. Behaviors that affect or even interfere with medical treatment often occur. When \”numerology\” attacks medical treatment, how to ensure the safety of patients on the \”tip of the knife\”?

When and how to use the knife, you must obey the instructions of the \”Great Fairy\”

Nowadays, many patients go to large counties to \”settle accounts\” through some websites or through introductions from acquaintances before seeking medical treatment. Taking obstetrics and gynecology as an example, welcoming a new life has become a must-do for some families before giving birth.

According to Ren Yumei, head nurse of the obstetrics department of the Second People\’s Hospital of Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, more than 80% of patients who undergo caesarean section at the hospital seek fortune telling and request a caesarean section. For auspicious surgery, some even ask to check the name of the midwife to avoid conflicts with the child. \”At least 10% of patients request that the delivery date be forcibly changed to catch up with the auspicious time.\”

\”Many pregnant women and their families require that the time of their child\’s birth be accurate, minute by minute, without any time errors.\” Wang Yongsheng, president and chief physician of Anshan Women and Children\’s Hospital (Fifth), said that some patients failed to undergo surgery as scheduled. If the \”opportunity\” is missed, blame the doctor. \”Some patients know that the medical power at night will be weaker than during the day, but for the sake of \’lucky\’, they insist on asking doctors to perform surgery early in the morning or late at night.\”

In the cosmetic plastic surgery industry, \”good luck\” has almost become a surgical requirement alongside wishes such as repair and beauty. Shi Lingzhi, director of Shenyang Xinglin Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Hospital, pointed out that more than 20% of people who come for plastic surgery have a strong wish for \”good luck\” and designate the surgery location accordingly.

Wang Hongyu, a medical staff member of the plastic surgery department at a tertiary hospital in Shenyang, told reporters that he once met a handsome young man doing business who had a very standard appearance, but he strongly asked the doctor to \”make his chin bigger.\” \”There is a \’big fairy\’ He was told that he had to have a big chin to get big orders, but the doctor couldn\’t persuade him. As a result, the \’big\’ chin didn\’t match the whole face. \”

\”Six months after the operation, he came to me again and said that the \’Great Immortal\’ had told him to do something important and that he needed to make his chin smaller and restore it to its previous appearance. Because of the \’Great Immortal\’\’s \’instructions\’, the \’Great Immortal\’ had had surgery in the past few years. Many surgeries.\” Wang Hongyu said.

The danger behind the \”immortal\” \”instructions\”

When the instructions of the \”immortal\” collide with the medical reality and the natural laws of the human body, many patients \”abandon medical treatment and follow the immortal\”, and even resort to compulsory medical treatment that is harmful to the body.

Ren Yumei pointed out that some pregnant women who have the conditions for natural delivery and are less than 38 weeks pregnant require the hospital to have an early caesarean section due to the \”Great Immortal\” fortune telling that \”premature babies will be born prematurely\”. \”A certain time\”; in order to catch up with JiAt that time, she clearly had the conditions for natural delivery, but she insisted on delaying the delivery.

\”Some patients simply don\’t listen to the persuasion of medical staff. In order to catch up with the good opportunity, they would rather transfer to a small hospital that is willing to perform surgery. However, the qualifications and technical level of these small hospitals that dare to perform surgery are often difficult to guarantee.\” Ren Yumei said. .

It is understood that if the gestational age is insufficient, the placenta is often immature, and the newborn is prone to complications of premature birth such as scleredema, respiratory distress syndrome, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, which can lead to death in severe cases. A mother who delays delivery will have less amniotic fluid and the fetus will be unable to absorb nutrients.

Following the instructions of the \”Great Fairy\” and randomly stabbing the face with a knife is even more \”bold and absurd\”.

\”On the edge of the knife\” safety still needs to be protected scientifically

Zhang Baoyi, director of the Institute of Social Sciences of the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, said that superstitious fortune-telling and interference in medical practices are manifestations of ignorance. \”Medical behavior is the product of modern technology, and numerology is related to old ignorance. The game between old and new concepts is also the result of the long-term contradiction between science and non-science.\”

In response to the issue of \”numerology\” requiring frequent caesarean sections, Wang Yongsheng said that doctors can only perform caesarean sections if the mother has indications for caesarean section and the fetus is full term. If conditions permit, it is best for the mother to give birth naturally. The fetus is \”squeezed\” during birth, which is beneficial to the development of senses such as touch and higher immunity.

\”The purpose of plastic surgery should be correction and beautification. As for changing fortune, it is an accessory to beauty and should not be the main purpose of surgery.\” Shi Lingzhi said that those seeking beauty should choose a qualified cosmetic surgery institution and conduct full consultation with multiple parties. Don\’t be fooled by the merchant\’s rhetoric about wealth and act blindly.

Zhang Baoyi suggested that when faced with \”numerical\” requests from patients, medical staff should patiently persuade them and meet them selectively without affecting medical safety. \”Relevant experts and departments should strengthen the popularization of knowledge on natural sciences and social issues and help the public improve their scientific literacy.\”

Zhang Baoyi suggested that relevant departments strengthen supervision, exposure and rectification of illegal medical practices that some businesses take advantage of people\’s misunderstandings, use fortune telling as a gimmick to compete in the market, seek personal gain, and ignore patients\’ physical conditions. Explain in a timely manner, and severely punish units and individuals that violate scientific laws, operate in violation of regulations, and damage social and public interests in accordance with the law to reduce the risk of medical treatment for the masses.
