醫務委員會對黃卓義醫生的裁決

 


香港西醫工會是唯一一個向職工局註冊處註冊並為公營及私營醫生提供服務的工會,以維護醫生在僱主僱員關係中的權益,香港西醫工會秉承為醫生提供不同的醫學研討會等延續醫學進修,以維持和確保基層醫生提供最高水平的醫療服務,以提升香港市民的健康。


就近日香港醫務委員會裁定九龍醫院紗布封喉事故主診醫生黃卓義兩項專業失德罪成並除牌六個月,本會對此有以下聲明:


1 .西醫工會對裁決極度關注;


2. 醫生責任是以病人健康安全為首要任務,但裁決要醫生承擔完全超出其工作範圍的責任,此舉不但無法改善對病人健康保障,更忽略了政府和管理層應有的責任,變相進一步破壞香港專業醫療結構,是本末倒置;


3. 醫委會聆訊小組有三大謬誤:
一:認為醫生有責任監督護士的「護理」工作;
二:認為護理(dressing care) 就等同以紗布遮蓋傷口;
三:認為永久性造口不應該有任何紗布遮蓋。聆訊小組未有以專業角度作出正確的裁決,嚴重破壞本港的醫療體系,定必鑄成大錯;


4. 是次裁決嚴重損害專業互信和合作,對香港醫護專業團隊引來分化以及打擊,本會感到遺憾;


5. 本會建議盡快增加全體醫護全隊高風險護理的培訓。

The Verdict of Medical Council of Hong Kong On Dr. Wong Cheuk Yi

 

12th May 2018

 


Hong Kong Doctors Union (HKDU) is an unique trade union with doctor members in both public and private services. Registered with the Trade Union Registry to look after the int erests and rights of doctors in their employer employee relationship, HKDU is committed to provide Continuing Medical Education, medical seminars for doctors to maintain and ensure the highest standard of the healthcare doctors to cater for the health of t he Hong Kong community.


With regard to the recent incident of "Dr. Wong Cheuk Yi suspended from practice for six months by the Medical Council of Hong Kong for the death of a cancer patient of Kowloon Hospital", HKDU has the following views:

1. Our Union has much concern on the verdict;
     
2. Doctor's first duty is to protect patients' health, but the captioned verdict implied doctors have to take up the unnecessary responsibility of other Professionals. This does not help in improving patient s’ health safety but rather ignore the responsibilities of the Government and management team of the public service. In the end, this would be detrimental to the healt h care system in Hong Kong;
     
3. There are 3 major mistakes made by the Disciplinary Panel of the Medical Council of Hong Kong:
1. The misconception that Doctors are responsible for nurses dressing care
2. The misunderstanding of Wound covering with gauze is equivalent to dressing care
3. Considered that The permanent tracheostoma should not be covered by gauze As such, the Disciplinary Panel did not make a correct professional judgment and this mistake would be detrimental to the health care system of Hong Kong
     
4. We feel much regret that such deliberation would result in the disrupting relationship between doctors and other allied health professionals and would lead to disharmony among health care workers at the end in Hong Kong.
     
5. The Union strongly recommends to step up training of high risk caring procedures for all health care workers.
