National Taiwan University doctor Su Yining builds the strongest obstetric fleet

Written / Today Weekly Deng Liping

"The medical environment in Taiwan is permeated with defeatism. The poor environment really makes everyone feel discouraged, but soldiers should not leave the battlefield and should not choose to escape. We decided to adopt another attitude. The response is to make yourself stronger.” Su Yining, the chief executive of Hexin Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and the former attending physician of National Taiwan University Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, chose to face the current medical collapse.

, an associate professor at National Taiwan University School of Medicine with a high academic status, in 2012, on the eve of the professor’s promotion, he resolutely gave up nearly two decades of hard work and left the National Taiwan University Hospital, leading the obstetrics and gynecology department at their own expense, team delivery, etc. New code and put into his favorite genetic medicine research.

attaches great importance to research and assimilation of new knowledge

"You can never take a knife and go to war with others."

is like a martial arts master's own martial art, attracting martial arts players to join one after another, and Su Yining's partners are also increasing. Currently, Hexin Obstetrics and Gynecology Department has 30 full-time physicians, all of whom come from top obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics such as National Taiwan University, President Rong, and Pediatrics. In just three years, the reputation of Hexin Obstetrics and Gynecology has spread quickly. There are two bases in Taipei, and the third base is expected to open in the second half of the year.

"In my life at National Taiwan University, I never thought I would leave one day." Looking back at that time, Su Yining was still a little excited. Leaving was a painful decision he made after careful consideration.

He has been in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of National Taiwan University Hospital for nearly 20 years. He delivered 50 to 60 babies every month. He watched high-risk pregnancies, 24 hours of endless delivery, plus outpatient clinics, research and teaching. , Speech invitations, etc. "It's really the limit," he said.

However, tiredness is not the main reason for his departure. What really frustrates him is the rigid system. I thought that National Taiwan University Hospital was the leader of teaching hospitals, with the purpose of free study style and encouraging research, but under the pressure of the health insurance system, the hospital even lost the motivation to pursue progress. Health insurance resources are limited, and hospitals must cut costs. The first thing to bear is research funding. "But research is the foundation of the National Taiwan University Hospital!"

"For me, this is unbearable." Su Yining bluntly denounced absurdity. It is important to do research and buy equipment. You can never use a knife to fight others. Especially in the fast-developing genetic medicine, the instruments cost 10 to 20 million yuan at every turn, but hospitals are no longer enough to support these things, and often it takes two or three years to apply for delivery, and the instruments are out of date when they are available.

has repeatedly regressed, which is the biggest medical crisis in Taiwan. "We like to do research and teach students. The smartest people in Taiwan will come to be your students. We are happy to develop new things, speak, go abroad for meetings, and learn new knowledge. That is a very happy day." But the system has allowed innovation. Becomes impossible.

Su Yining speaks quickly, accurately and neatly. "In the vicious circle, we change from first-rate to second-rate, second-rate to third-rate, and it's no different from outside. Then I stay at National Taiwan University without any meaning." Su Yining struggled for a long time, and she thought it was better to go back. In one or two years, he left the National Taiwan University Hospital with two like-minded school siblings to establish Hexin Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic, which caused quite a shock.

"In fact, what we have to do is a change." The soldier cannot choose the battlefield. Under the existing health insurance system, he creates a new battle. His goal is to bring back the value and dignity of medical visits.

leads self-financed medical services

not to be led by health insurance and allows maternal self-selected testing items

. Under the “low payment” health insurance, hospitals can only sell "Yangchun noodles." Su Yining does not want to let health insurance lead them. "Because obviously, that It's not enough." In addition to selling "Yangchun noodles," Hexin also sells "beef noodles" and "steaks" within the scope of legal principles, and has added many self-paid services to give patients a choice.
