Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party, destroyed the public medical system and revealed his true colors as a hard-line conservative by having his family decide to transport him by helicopter in the wake of the Busan attack.
On the 3rd, Representative Lee chose a conservatism that prioritizes private care over the public medical system by deciding to have surgery at Pusan National University Hospital by moving to Seoul National University Hospital using the emergency medical system after an official decision by the Democratic Party for “family care.”
On this day, the Democratic Party held a supreme committee meeting in Busan and announced the transfer to Seoul as a ‘family choice’ and ratified it, making it official as a ‘private decision on the medical system.’
Choi Choi was diagnosed by the emergency medical system. On the day of the attack, Pusan National University Hospital provided first aid for hemostasis at the emergency trauma center and confirmed the damage to the jugular through a vascular CT scan. Representative Lee's family and Democratic Party officials were provided with consent from the guardian for emergency surgery. As they received the decision to undergo surgery at Seoul National University Hospital, private demands took priority over the public medical system.
Kim Young-dae, head of the regional trauma center at Pusan National University Hospital, accepted the family's request and received the phone from the Democratic Party's Chief of Staff, who was on the phone with the medical staff at Seoul National University Hospital. He accepted the family's request and asked Seoul National University Hospital whether immediate surgery was possible. ‘News 1’ reported that he asked, “Is there such a thing?”
Center Director Kim said, "Representative Lee Jae-myeong's family decided to undergo surgery at Seoul National University Hospital, and although his condition was not critical enough to be dangerous to transport by helicopter, it was decided that emergency surgery to treat the wound was necessary immediately, so the final decision was made to transfer Representative Lee to Seoul. “He said today.
On the 4th, Kim Ji-ho, head of the political affairs coordination department of the party leader who was an attendant at the time, said on Facebook on the 4th, “Medical skills are important in treating patients, but considering various complex and special situations, the care of family members who would provide mental support was desperately needed. “We requested Pusan National University Hospital to review whether, if possible, the patient could receive treatment in Seoul, near his residence, and the medical staff wrote a transfer request form, issued related materials, and called a doctor helicopter to transport him,” he said.
Deputy Director Kim continued, “As an aide on behalf of the patient’s guardian, I would like to ask whether the request to the hospital to allow the patient to receive care from a family member who can receive mental support is illegal and should be ethically criticized and an apology.” 'It was revealed. Deputy Director Kim accompanied Representative Lee at the scene at the time of the incident.
Since CEO Lee's family exercises the right to decide on treatment, based on the diagnosis that he was out of serious condition, Center Director Kim, who is the decision-maker for the emergency medical system at Pusan National University Hospital, made an 'all-hand decision' after consultation with Seoul National University Hospital, and helicopter transportation was outside the emergency medical system. .
