Shaanxi maternal death jumped out of a building has aroused numerous indignation, so the birth or caesarean section who has the final say? On August 31, a woman in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, jumped from a building and killed herself. So why should the family decide whether the parturient should give birth smoothly or by caesarean section? I hope more time can be decided by the parturient!
The hospital said in a statement that the hospital had recommended caesarean section three times, but the family members disagreed and insisted on a smooth delivery. The husband of the dead woman told the media that he did not approve the hospital's statement, that his wife cried out for pain, and that he had offered to give a caesarean section to a doctor.
The possible reasons why mothers do not seem to have the right to decide whether to give birth by caesarean section or not
1. family members
There is a real motivation for family members to ask for a smooth birth. In addition to saving money, people generally believe that 'a smooth birth is better for children'.
2. hospital
Generally speaking, hospitals want mothers to have a caesarean section. Because the caesarean section not only has the surgery expense, but also has the hospitalization expense, this will increase the hospital income. This concept of income generation has led to the fact that caesarean section rates in hospitals across China were much higher than the world average in previous years.
Before 2010, there was a round of voices in the media calling for a smooth birth. They believed that too high caesarean section rate would lead to the decline of the quality of the whole nation. Since 2010, the Ministry of health has begun to emphasize increasing the proportion of normal labor. In many hospitals, doctors will first suggest a smooth birth, or even a "Caesarean index" saying, to caesarean section, but also to fight for the hospital.
3. law
Article 33 of the regulations on the administration of medical institutions stipulates that 'when a medical institution performs an operation, special examination or special treatment, it must obtain the consent of the patient and the consent and signature of its family members or related persons; when it is unable to obtain the opinions of the patient, it shall obtain the consent and signature of the family members or related persons. In case of emergency, the operation can also be performed without the signature of the family member. In order to rescue the patient, if the legal agent or authorized person cannot sign in time, it can be signed by the person in charge of the medical institution or the authorized person in charge. '
Suggestion: it should reflect the rights of the party concerned and humanistic care, and decide whether to give birth or to give birth by caesarean section
Maternal self-determination is an extremely important right, which shows that every individual is independent and independent, especially in the case of extreme pain, this right still belongs to themselves, and can not be deprived by anyone and institutions, even family members, hospitals or the government.
