Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 521 - 213: What to Do If Real-Name Whistleblower Information Is Leaked_2
The medication purchased was an astounding 288 yuan per box. ππΏπππ ππππ¨πππ.ππ π
"Many people have had similar experiences where a simple cold ends up costing a fortune to cure," Qin Mu sighed lightly and continued. "Under normal circumstances, many people endure a common cold by relying on their bodyβs resistance. Only when they have no other choice do they go to the hospital. Some unscrupulous hospitals often deliberately overprescribe medications to boost sales, and the hospital that my uploader friend encountered was even more outrageous."
Then, he recounted his own visit to the hospital to treat a stuffy nose, where he was recommended a CT scan, all to inflate the examination fees. Han Dongting casually wrote prescriptions, completely irresponsibly.
The second time, he took Wang Dachui, who also had a cold, to the hospital and was again prescribed an expensive medication costing 288 yuan. They were told to buy it from a pharmacy outside the hospital.
"This kind of expensive medication appears to be legitimate drugs, but it may actually be a health supplement."
Facing the camera, Qin Mu explained the pharmacyβs deceptive sales tactics. These days, all sorts of health supplements are prevalent, acting like hidden βprice assassins.β People unfamiliar with medicine can easily be swayed by pharmacy owners into buying these supplements. Health supplements are not dedicated medicines; they only support general well-being. Relying on them to treat diseases is not very effective; improvement is more often due to the bodyβs own resistance.
"Moreover, this pharmacyβs tactics are very cunning. They took the doctorβs prescription slip and insisted they wouldnβt sell the medication without it. Under these circumstances, even complaining to the drug regulatory authorities wonβt have much effect."
Without solid evidence, the drug regulatory authorities would, at most, reprimand or warn Han Dongting and the pharmacy owner. The other party wouldnβt suffer any actual punishment. In fact, even with evidence, selling medication at high prices isnβt considered a crime in itself. It only breaches the Medical Practitioners Law and medical ethics.
"During this hospital visit, I also encountered an example of the wrong way to defend oneβs rights."
After a brief pause, Qin Mu described the man with a knife outside Sanhe Hospital. The man had received treatment for three months with no effect and was demanding a refund. Whether his demands were justified and reasonable was one thing, but his approach was highly inappropriate. He gathered a crowd, blocked the hospital entrance, and created a disturbanceβa medical disputeβto try and force the hospital to submit. This kind of behavior involved various crimes, yet he was oblivious to this.
"This is a negative example that everyone should remember when defending their rights in the future. His disruptive behavior directly violated five different criminal charges, each an independent offense. Ultimately, he could face a cumulative punishment of up to fifteen years in prison."
The charges against the knife-wielding man were picking quarrels and provoking trouble, unlawful detention, insult, endangering public safety by dangerous means, and extortion. The charge of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" is applicable to a wide range of behaviors and serves as a catch-all. Unlawful detention applies to any act of blocking entrances or restricting othersβ freedom; once the public prosecutor files charges, this crime is certain to be established. The other three charges stemmed from the different actions of the individual attempting to defend his rights.
"The knife-wielding manβs behavior also highlights how difficult it is to defend oneβs rights." At this point, Qin Mu sighed again. When I first encountered this case, I too was at a loss about where to start. The difficulty of defending rights, the high costs, and the lack of connectionsβthese factors drove the man to take such risks. Consequently, incidents of medical disputes are constantly emerging. As for the high-priced medicines Su Yongnian encountered, strictly speaking, they didnβt violate any criminal laws.
"However, they thought their colluding practices were flawless, yet they forgot one thing. Such actions may not be criminal, but using their positions to facilitate the resale of expensive medicines could constitute bribery and possessing assets from unexplained sources of enormous value."
Changing the subject, Qin Mu then detailed the criteria for criminal charges, convictions, and sentencing for these offenses. He also explained techniques for filing official, real-name complaints.
Ultimately, the procuratorate launched an investigation, which uncovered a can of worms. Besides Han Dongting, four other doctors were also found to have large sums of money from unexplained sources. Closer investigation revealed various crimes related to their official duties. During the trial, Han Dongting and the other four gave up resisting. Only the pharmacy owner, displaying an extremely strong will to survive, even filed an appeal in court after losing the case.
"The case concludes here. If the pharmacy ownerβs appeal is heard publicly in the future, I will announce it in the next video. Todayβs case primarily aims to tell everyone to be cautious when defending their rights, to choose the correct methods, and never to act blindly. Incorrect ways of seeking justice will only land you in prison."
With that, the recording phase was complete. Qin Mu stretched and saved the video segment. He then added other materials on his computer and edited it. Three hours later, he uploaded it to Little Station. The title would be: "The Correct Way to Defend Your Rights Against Illegal Infringements!"
After finishing all this, he lay comfortably on his sofa, intending to play some games. But then, by chance, he saw the local news from Jin City. The headline of each story was quite extraordinary.
"Shocking! Is It Human Nature Thatβs Warped, or Morality Thatβs Degraded? Five Doctors from Sanhe Hospital Sentenced to Over Fifteen Years!"
"Director of Sanhe Hospital: If Heaven Gave Me Another Chance, I Would Definitely Tell That Man, βI Was Wrong!β"
