Thanks for the invite.

Is it reasonable for a hospital to deduct from the salary of a supervising physician the amount owed by a patient who has been discharged from the hospital in bad faith?

Of course unreasonable, doctors are responsible for treating the sick to save lives, in accordance with medical standards, in accordance with the core system of hospitals, to comply with the need for money in place and then rescue, the general principle is this: life-threatening situation, the doctor is unconditional rescue, rescue and then say the cost of the problem, if not the case, the doctor is the cost of the case is not in place, is not available for consultation and treatment.

If not, how can hospital patients continue to open if they don't pay their bills? You can only wait for the closure.

In fact, in the past, the patient is not paid also to the treatment, is the emergence of some people do not check out, the hospital can not collect money, and then there is a countermeasure, the first to pay, and then diagnosis and treatment of the disease; in the past, the health insurance patients are in accordance with the reimbursement rate of hospitalization fees, due to some people discharged from the hospital do not check out, resulting in health insurance costs can not be given to hospitals, hospitals can not get the money, and later on there is a countermeasure, no matter what the patient, the first full advance payment of the medical fees, discharged from the hospital Reimbursement and then refund!

It's not that hospitals are inhumane, it's that individual patients break the rules and cause a crisis of trust. A patient skips a payment, doesn't check out, thinks he's earned it, and what happens?

If the doctor in charge did not follow the hospital regulations, non-critical patients, pay first, in accordance with the provisions of the appropriate penalties can be, such as a symbolic deduction, after all, is part of the management of the hospital, but if you say that the patient did not pay, completely deducted the doctor in charge, that's not right, after all, the hospital receives money doctors did not get all ah.

It's not reasonable or legal! But hospitals have to do it! The reality is that there are many such patients! The day before yesterday in our department an acute cerebral infarction and and acute heart attack patients, the hospital in the spirit of first treatment and then pay the bill ...... from the Grim Reaper to give him a healthy life, and he sneaked away, the family did not come forward, repeated calls can not be reached (off the phone) was not easy to get through the phone... ...he said he had no money and was on an airplane when his phone was turned off

The hospital department should recognize the bad luck! What else? You just haven't met the more irritating patients, my colleague said his hometown met a strange patient and the patient's family! Patients fleeing from the hospital to escape home, doctors and nurses do not pick up the phone, send messages do not return! Directly play missing! Two days later, the patient died in an accident. It is said to have been hit by a car at night after drinking. The driver hit and ran, and since there was no surveillance in the area of the incident, the fleeing driver could not be traced quickly. When he was planning to be buried, a distant relative of his family, who was engaged in law, suggested that if the deceased did not handle the discharge could sue the hospital and could ask the hospital for some money! I did not expect his family unanimously agreed with this tawdry operation, let his distant relative as a lawyer to sue the hospital, on the grounds that the hospital did not supervise the patient, the patient ran out and died accidentally! The hospital failed in its duty of care! Meow! In the end, he actually won the case and the hospital paid out 200,000 dollars! This is a true story from about 15 years ago! Show it to your peers for psychological comfort only!

Although this is unreasonable, but this is the only solution, because no one for the doctor to call the account, that is to say, the management to ask for the account of this matter is the doctor's business, if the impunity of the doctor's money, then all the doctor's account is not needed, and the doctor is still quite a lot of money, then certainly no one wants to offend.

This is so shameless that most of the money for a patient's hospitalization is collected by the hospital and less than 10% goes to the doctor, but if the patient runs up the bill, 100% of that money is covered by the doctor.

It's like this in the U.S. Doctors only care about treating the patient and don't care about the fees, and the fees are billed and sent to the patient, so the doctor-patient conflict in the U.S. isn't as serious.

At the end of the day, it's a systemic problem, and I hope someone breaks it.

Unreasonable, very unreasonable. This situation should be resolved by the hospital administration, which is what they do, and can be recovered from the patient or taken to court. Doctors are the ones who treat patients. Admission of which patients, the patient's ability to pay for medication, are not in the scope of the doctor's concern, and not the doctor's decision to determine, on what grounds the deduction of the doctor's salary?

First of all this policy is irrational and the answer is definitely one-sided. But why will it be implemented all the time. Bold guesses are as follows: 1. The direct cause is the patient to escape the fee, the first responsible department certainly can not drag the blame, the leadership needs to be scapegoated. 2. These costs if the hospital equally, the interests of some people damaged. 3. In order to allow health care can prevent the next time, to achieve the disciplinary action.

Facts: A patient came to the Emergency Department and said he had no money and needed to be hospitalized, but his condition did require hospitalization. Because there is no family accompanied by no way to contact the family for the time being, green channel arrangements for hospitalization and treatment. During the period of treatment of the condition, medical staff out of their own pockets to buy food. Improvement of the condition without saying a word discharged, leaving tens of thousands of outstanding fees. The result was that the doctor in charge of the department and the head nurse ran to the local government department and the patient's home to call for money.

Unreasonable, generally in accordance with the past practice is the doctor in charge of reporting the department director and the formation of written materials reported to the Medical Affairs Department, the Medical Affairs Department to deal with these matters, it is not clear why your hospital asked you to pay compensation, do you have any fault?

Hey which so much reasoning place, a lot of wind and cattle are not related to things can be involved together, the doctor not only to manage the treatment of disease but also to manage the money, the doctor as a medical insurance bureau

Doctors are to treat patients, not to do hospital management. The recovery of money should be the responsibility of the hospital management, the hospital can set up a special department responsible for the settlement of accounts and recovery of money. Leave the business of recovering money to the doctors, but also easy to promote medical malpractice!
