Hospital management faces a real test

Why did this incident attract such widespread attention? On the surface, it appears to be nurse misconduct, but the core issue points to another direction—the safety of controlled substances. This is the most urgent matter for hospital management to confirm. After all, some medications are life-saving within medical institutions, but once they leave the regulated environment of the hospital, they become dangerous goods. If such drugs are lost during management, the consequences are not just a matter of personnel adjustments.

The exposed incident indeed刷新了行业底线. Imagine: nurses allowing third-party personnel with obvious identification features to enter and exit the nurse station for an extended period, even participating in core tasks involving patient safety such as dispensing medication, attaching infusion labels, and filling out nursing records. This is not a momentary oversight but a systemic neglect spanning several months and seasonal changes.

Medical work has strict operational standards—the industry’s common "Three Checks and Seven Confirmations" system is designed to prevent errors at any stage. Medication dispensing and label management, seemingly simple steps, are directly related to patient safety. Even a minor mistake could lead to a medical accident. The "Qi Eryao" incident from years ago is a bloody lesson—non-standard operations and lack of responsibility caused innocent harm.

This behavior reflects not only a lack of professional ethics but also a deeper violation of medical ethics. Healthcare workers’ vows to respect life and adhere to standards upon employment are completely overturned here. Bringing personal relationships into medical procedures and treating regulations as a joke, such practitioners have already lost the basic qualification to practice medicine.

The subsequent measures—suspension to dismissal—are not only accountability for those responsible but also a wake-up call for the entire medical system. It is hoped that this incident will prompt more healthcare practitioners to re-examine their professional bottom line.
