“Goddfather of Music” Uncle Ray Accused Queen Elizabeth Hospital of Medical Negligence and Forced Treatment

“Godfather of music” Uncle Ray (Ray Cordeiro, Guo Limin) passed away on January 13 this year. His son and assistant Zhou Shunhe (Andy) accused Queen Elizabeth Hospital, saying that Uncle Ray was hospitalized from November 21 to November 29 last year During the period, Uncle Ray was forced to insert a urinary catheter without the patient’s objection and family members’ knowledge. He also accused Uncle Ray of suffering from second-degree bedsore due to medical negligence. He has complained to the Medical Council about the incident.

Zhou Shunhe also pointed out that the Iraqi doctors and nurses tied Uncle Ray’s hands and forcibly inserted the urine throat for him when he explicitly said “don’t touch my lower body” and refused to insert the urine throat; Conceal illness. He said that he would ask the Hospital Authority to promise not to force the elderly and terminally ill to receive any treatment, otherwise they would continue to pursue the case.
The Yiyuan Hospital replied that since the patient suffered from kidney failure, inserting the urine throat was a clinical necessity, and it was also a professional judgment made by the doctor after considering the patient’s condition. The hospital also stated that it once again expresses its deep apologies for the unhappiness caused by the lack of communication between the medical staff and their families, and will continue to provide all possible assistance to the patients and their families.

As Uncle Ray’s executor and complainant, Zhou Shunhe held a “Respect for Life Press Conference”, attracting a large number of Hong Kong news and entertainment reporters to interview him, and said that he would not reply to the incident after 12 o’clock tonight.

He mentioned in the press conference that the Yiyuan admitted serious mistakes in the second reply to the family members. It admitted that on November 23 last year, in the case of Uncle Ray’s clear objection, his hands were tied on both sides of the hospital bed. Forcibly inserted the urine throat, the process took about two to three seconds. When he mentioned this, he lost control of his emotions and shed tears for a while. He even pointed out that Uncle Ray mentioned this to his family members, and emphasized that he strongly opposed it at the time, “He told the nurse, ‘Don’t fuck with me’.”

He also pointed out that at least two facts were inconsistent with the facts when the Iraqi Court responded to media inquiries earlier. In one of them, the hospital pointed out that a patient was found to be infected with the new crown virus in the Uncle Ray ward, so Uncle Ray was immediately transferred to a separate ward to wait for the test results. However, Zhou Shunhe pointed out with a photo on November 27 that the patient was diagnosed from morning to noon. He proposed to transfer Uncle Ray to a private hospital and pointed out that he was very worried about his condition, so he was arranged to enter the C5 observation ward, which was not the “immediate” that Yiyuan referred to.

Another inaccuracy is that the hospital suspected of exaggerating Uncle Ray’s condition when he was admitted to the hospital. Zhou said that the hospital told the media that Uncle Ray had heart failure when he was admitted to the hospital, that is, on November 21 last year, but the medical report showed that Uncle Ray did not have a record of heart failure until he switched to the second antibiotic, that is, on November 23 last year. Questioning the hospital made the outside world feel that the family members were lying and dishonest.

He also pointed out that at the initial stage of Uncle Ray’s pulmonary edema, the hospital said it was only a small amount and did not need to be treated, but later it was too serious to be treated. Zhou also said that the patient was transferred to Zhongda Hospital, and the family members learned of the seriousness of the situation from the doctor’s mouth. They pumped two liters of pulmonary fluid within three days. He said that Uncle Ray’s bed sores were at the second level, and the Yiyuan Hospital informed the family members: “I’m sorry to say that, and I forgot to tell you.”

Zhou emphasized that Uncle Ray had been classified as a “patient who could not take care of himself” at that time, and questioned why the hospital could not notify the family members and seek their wishes. Zhou Shunhe also pointed out that after Uncle Ray was transferred to Zhongda Hospital on November 29 last year, it was discovered that he suffered from severe edema and grade 2 pressure injuries, and his buttocks were covered with bedsores. , Keeping the family in the dark.

He asked the Hospital Authority to promise to seriously examine the room for improvement, reiterate that patients should have the right to refuse treatment, and reduce similar incidents from happening to the elderly and terminally ill. He said that if the Hospital Authority refuses to agree, it will continue to pursue, including through legal channels. He is also dissatisfied that although the Yiyuan admitted the mistake, it still tried its best to protect the doctor involved. He has squandered this opportunity, I will follow up depending on the results of the Medical Council, I will not accept that the incident is attributed to four words – lack of communication.”

The spokesperson of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital pointed out that the patient had limited mobility when he was admitted to the hospital and required long-term bed rest. He was assessed as having a high risk of developing bedsores. The hospital has a series of preventive measures to minimize the chance of developing bedsores, including arranging medical staff to turn the patient around once , and provide patients with pressure-relief mattresses, turning triangle pillows and foot covers to protect the ankles.

The hospital also stated that since the patient suffers from kidney failure, it is a clinical need to insert the patient’s urine throat. It is a professional judgment made by the doctor after considering the patient’s condition. It can monitor the patient’s urine and urination, and collect urine for inoculation. It allows doctors to further understand the patient’s condition and provide appropriate treatment.

Yiyuan also said that the hospital does have shortcomings in communicating with patients and their families, including explaining transfer arrangements and implementing various treatment procedures. It should discuss and communicate with family members as soon as possible to relieve family members’ doubts and increase mutual trust. understand. The spokesperson pointed out that he once again expresses his deep apologies for the unhappiness caused by the lack of communication between the medical staff and his family members, and will continue to provide all possible assistance to patients and their families.
