Dr. Ai Fen, one of the whistleblowers of the Wuhan Xinguan epidemic, has made it clear that he is determined to challenge China’s medical corruption after almost losing the sight in his right eye due to a suspected misdiagnosis at an eye hospital. But the industry believes that the fate of Dr. Ai Fen, who has been silenced for speaking out under the dual pressure of deep-rooted structural corruption and official stability maintenance, is a cause for concern.
After spending about 30,000 yuan to treat a cataract in his right eye at Aier Eye Hospital, Dr. Ai Fen, who has decades of experience in the practice of medicine, failed to get the expected results.
The case has not only failed to get the expected results, but also worsened to the point of blindness, but his experience has not been publicly supported by any ophthalmology group or industry for days. There is a view that even if the medical community has unlimited sympathy for her, no one will be brave enough to publicly offend the hospital, which has been accused of being a Putian system, due to the huge network of connections behind Aier Ophthalmology.
Aier Eye released a statement saying that the retinal detachment in Ai Fen’s right eye had nothing to do with cataract surgery. Ai Fen was not surprised by the response. Because so far, Aier Eye also tried to conceal the truth with faked case photos. Affin pointed out that using iris examination, or even ordinary image comparison, would expose their lies. Right now, Eyre Eye cares most about setting her straight rather than facing medical errors.
Ai Fen said: I went to him after this cataract surgery, and I said I still can’t see clearly in my eyes. I now went to him to ask for that photo of my eye before my surgery, and he actually gave me a fake one. Later, they called in a panic and said that they did not have that much memory and that the information was deleted. He is weak-minded well. That does not matter, the next step can do iris test well. They want me to go to the settlement now. One time it was through our chief of ophthalmology, who said their director was coming to visit me, but I refused. The second time was when their medical director came to me and told me that I should go to the doctor, I said, “I was looking for you guys to go when the net was off, and you pushed me away,” and ignored him.
Effen pointed out that Aier Eye belongs to the Putian medical structure. This also means that she is facing a corrupt complex of capital and health administration bureaucrats and doctors colluding in a triad that ordinary people cannot shake.
They advertise falsely, then hire back doctors from public hospitals, then bribe officials with huge amounts of money by ripping people off,” said Eifen. And it’s getting worse. The company’s ophthalmology department is so big that they pay for all the ophthalmology conferences. All these directors of ophthalmology are invited by them as their guests. Do you understand? They dare to do this to professionals like me, but the people can’t do it at all. Last year it was also me, I did not stand up and speak, it became full of the world this way, I will never fight for my interests this time, I want to change the culture of their entire industry.
In response to our reporter’s interview, Aier Eye spokesman Li Jinzhou denied that they belong to a Putian-based hospital and denied that the blindness of Affin’s right eye was a medical error at the hospital. And in the face of accusations that they were engaged in large-scale disguised bribery in the name of academic conferences, Li Jinzhou would not respond positively.
Aier Eye: From one of our own findings, there is no direct relationship. If we have the latest news, we will be released in the relevant platform la. To answer your question, we are not a Putian hospital. How do you define major medical malpractice? As far as we know, there are no major medical errors. Are we sponsoring all the ophthalmology conferences? I have no way to confirm this information for you right now.
Ren Ruihong, the former head of the Chinese Red Cross’s major disease relief program, said Effen is facing a large corrupt system, especially after she was blocked from giving interviews to the media about the New Crown epidemic, and that her actions could lead to even harsher official reprisals.
Ren Ruihong said: “In China, this kind of hospital, it’s a referee and an athlete, too many of the branches are on the side of the Health and Welfare Commission, and when you think about the amount of money they can approve so many hospitals, it’s amazing. And, you will eventually have to challenge the interests of the ruling class, how can you shake that? A little bit of trouble, give you a little bit of money, and that’s it.
According to our reporter learned that the Wuhan Health Care Commission has intervened in the matter. Wang Weihua, deputy director of the Wuhan Health Care Commission and party secretary of the Wuhan Central Hospital, has put pressure on Effen.
Early last year, Wuhan Central Hospital emergency department director Ai Fen, in the circle of friends sent a picture of a test report of a coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, after Li Wenliang forwarded it to a group of classmates, sparking concern. Since then, both Ai Fen and Li Wenliang have been suppressed. After Li Wenliang’s death, Ai Fen was interviewed by the media and revealed the truth about the tragic consequences of the official news blackout at the beginning of the Wuhan outbreak, after which she was focused on maintaining stability and the report was officially censored. However, the media relayed Ai Fen’s interview in nearly 100 languages, translated and forwarded it, and Ai Fen’s quote “If I had known the outcome, I would have said it everywhere” became the quote of the year.
