武汉抗疫英雄医生艾芬右眼近乎失明，这次我们帮你到处说
作者：边城 来源：码头青年（matouyoung）
2020年，对于武汉市中心医院急诊科主任艾芬来说，一半是光明，一半是黑暗。
有些人对艾芬不太熟悉。2019年12月30日，艾芬曾拿到过一份不明肺炎病人的病毒检测报告，她用红色圈出“SARS冠状病毒”字样，当大学同学问起时，她将这份报告拍下来传给了这位同是医生的同学。当晚，这份报告传遍了武汉的医生圈，转发这份报告的人就包括李文亮在内的那几位被警方训诫的医生。
这给艾芬带来了很大的麻烦。但艾芬并不后悔，她更多的是痛心：“早知道有今天，我管他批不批评，老子到处说。”后来，作为“发哨子的人”，艾芬名扬全国，也备受尊敬。疫情期间，作为急诊科主任，艾芬带领武汉市中心医院急诊科的200多名医护人员日夜坚守，受到过人民日报的点赞。
2020年，中国低开高走，总体疫情控制得非常好。这些光明，艾芬看到了。
但她也看到到了黑暗。
作为“发哨子的人”，艾芬没倒在抗疫战争中，却几乎在一家私营医院手里失明。
年末，12月30日，她在发布一篇《再见2020》的文章，里面提到：年头侥幸躲过了病毒的侵犯却在46岁生日的第二天没能躲过视网膜的脱落，右眼近乎失明。最让我难受的是，因为这个疾病不能用力，以后都不能抱二宝了。
2020年12月31日，艾芬接受《中国新闻周刊》采访时说，2020年5月，自己视力明显下降，以为是此前疫情期间长期戴护目镜所致。经熟人介绍，她来到武汉大学附属爱尔眼科医院医治。因右眼有白内障，医院给她做了人工晶体植入手术，收费2.9万元。5个月后，她被诊断为右眼视网膜脱离。她认为，自己白内障很轻，爱尔眼科没必要给她做这个手术，同时，在爱尔眼科就诊时，医生没有仔细检查其眼底，以致延误发现及治疗视网膜脱落的时机。她质疑爱尔眼科做人工晶体植入手术的动机是为了多收钱。
艾芬认为，自己的白内障很轻微，根本没必要换晶体。有同行告诉她，视野暗淡就是眼底出了问题，而用激光治疗眼底变性比植入晶体便宜很多。
为了帮助理解，艾芬打了个比分——如果将眼睛比做相机，晶体是镜头，眼底是胶卷。现在相机出了问题，爱尔眼科只换了贵的镜头，没换胶卷，甚至还不知道胶卷坏了。
视网膜脱落后，10月25日，艾芬在武汉市中心医院做了视网膜病损激光凝固术、玻璃体硅油填充术等治疗。术后，她的右眼几乎什么都看不到。艾芬说，自己需要3个月到6个月恢复，而且如果生气或用力，视网膜还有着再次脱落的可能性。所以，虽然她的二宝很可爱，但作为妈妈，却不能再抱孩子了。而且作为一名临床医生，她以后的工作也会受到很大影响，“我急诊那么多精细的操作，我怎么搞？”
让艾芬气愤的是，她还曾让医生将其6月份复查时拍摄的白内障照片发给她，给她主刀的医生，武汉大学附属爱尔眼科医院副院长、白内障科主任王勇却给她发过来一张“白内障很严重的弄虚作假的照片”。
艾芬感叹，自己作为一名医务工作者，尚且还遭这样的忽悠，“那么普通的老百姓，还不晓得是多少人上当。”她说，自己是个医生，不想当医闹，只是想曝光爱尔眼科的不规范之处，同时想解决问题。
今天看到了@武汉大学附属爱尔眼科医院半夜发的声明，我想回复的是以下几点：1.不是自行提供的术前B超和OCT结果，是根据爱尔的要求在我院做的。2.这两个检查有没有异常和眼底视网膜平复不是一个概念；3.我的白内障病变程度很轻，根本遮盖不了视网膜周边。
我只是希望能够以亲身经历来曝光爱尔医院在诊疗过程之中的不规范行为，同时希望我的眼睛以后还能正常地从事医疗工作，因为医疗过程的很多仪器设备操作文书都需要用眼。如果国家需要，我还要戴上护目镜穿上防护服冲上一线。希望爱尔有一个诚实解决问题的态度，而不是私下想找我“聊聊”。
据艾芬说，爱尔眼科曾私下想找她聊聊。
艾芬的遭遇被媒体披露后，武汉大学附属爱尔眼科医院迅速发了声明，声称经过自查，自己的手术没问题，医院也不存在对患者病历和检查资料进行篡改和调换情况。
有意思的是，发声明的微博名为“武汉大学附属爱尔眼科医院”，但盖章的单位名称却是“武汉爱尔眼科医院”。武汉大学跟一家民营医院到底是什么关系？
有没有篡改调换病历和检查资料？二者必有一人说谎，是艾芬还是医院？
只要对中国医疗现状稍有了解的人，大概都会站在艾芬医生这边。知名女作家侯虹斌在微博上说，如果艾医生这样有专业知识、有知名度的主任医师都会被糊弄，那怎么相信你们会给普通病人光明和希望呢？
艾芬遇到的这种事，其实不复杂。有专业人士说，散瞳看眼底这样的常规操作根本不需要高深的技术学识，它纯粹就是一个医德问题。像网脱裂孔，早期确实OCT和B超都是看不到的，只能靠医生在镜子下面一点点去找，就看责任心到没到位，耐不耐得烦。因为这种操作费时间，又没钱收。
而做人工晶体植入手术，却有钱收。艾芬的这个手术，就收费2.9万元。
网名为“视研小助理”的网友在知乎上说，他猜测急诊科主任应该是做了爱尔眼科的（焕晶）手术，也就是医学上的屈光白内障手术。“这类手术，是目前国内外收费最高的白内障手术，双焦点晶体在4-5万双眼，三焦点晶体在8-9万双眼，加上飞秒撕囊，收费再加1万双眼，是各个私立医院最喜欢推的项目之一。”
有熟人背书，艾芬轻信了爱尔眼科。这家医院为了推贵的项目，连基本的眼底检查都没好好做，就直接摘掉了艾芬的一部分器官，患上了人工晶体。作为医生，艾芬质疑医院为了多收钱，这是有说服力的。
艾芬医生的遭遇，不是个例。
葫芦岛刘某的遭遇与艾芬遭遇颇为相似。
据媒体报道，2018年1月16日，刘某到葫芦岛爱尔眼科医院有限公司就诊，诊断为孔源性视网膜脱落后收入院，实施左眼行玻切手术，注硅油晶体植入。2018年1月25日刘某出院。由于术后视网膜再次脱离，爱尔眼科未能及时发现，导致硅油不能取出，失去再次治疗机会。最终导致刘某左眼失明。经锦州辽希司法鉴定中心鉴定：刘某左眼外伤现盲目5级，评定为八级伤残。
随后，刘某将葫芦岛爱尔眼科医院有限公司告上法院。法院一审判决葫芦岛爱尔眼科医院有限公司赔偿原告刘某经济损失23.63万元。
爱尔眼科发生的医疗事故和医疗纠纷不止于此。一些网友在艾芬的微博下面留言，表示自己的亲人朋友也是爱尔眼科的受害者。
从网友的陈述看，他们受到的损害更大，但作为普通人，媒体资源不太可能为他们发声，因为医疗纠纷在中国太多了。光是2020年，我身边就有两个朋友的亲人，因为医院的过错而去世。他们的遭遇，让我难过唏嘘。医院和患者的博弈，从一开始就是不公平的。医院掌握很多资源和话语权，患者单枪匹马势单力薄，如果不想当医闹，大部分患者及其亲属只能默默吞下苦果，能赔一点钱，已经算比较好的结果。如果想跟医院硬刚，走法律程序，当然也可能胜诉。但一方是一个单位，有专人处理诉讼。一方是一个家庭，全家人要为此付上极大精力财力。最后最好的结果是，医院赔钱，而造成医疗事故导致患者死亡的医护人员，最多是判刑三年以下。事实上，因此被判刑的医护人员极少见诸报道。如果不是有巨大影响力的艾芬医生遇到这事，换成一个普通人，还会有这么大的动静吗？连如此知名的抗疫英雄都难逃毒手，普通人会遇到什么，就不难想象了。为众人抱薪者，不可使其冻毙于风雪；为自由开辟道路者，不可使其困顿于荆棘。艾芬发的“哨子”，曾让我们很多人都获得了及时的防护。今天，她遇到事了，为她写一篇文章，帮她呼吁发声，这是我唯一能报答她的事。经过媒体报道，经过多方介入，艾芬医生这事不会闹很大，最后双方很可能和解。最新消息，爱尔眼科医院集团已经成立集团调查工作组，并于1月1日连夜赶赴武汉进行调查。爱尔眼科集团表示，愿意为艾芬后续治疗提供帮助。但艾芬的右眼视力，很可能再花多少钱都难以恢复到正常。爱尔眼科，应该不会公开承认错误。承认了，就要彻底整改，有关部门不介入彻查就很难向公众交代。所以，死扛着不认错可能是唯一选择。不过，市场会用脚投票。周一开盘，这家上市公司很可能迎来暴跌。但至多三个跌停，又会有很多人抄底。再过几天，公众又会忘了这事。但是，只要医院以赚钱为根本目的，类似艾芬医生这样的事就难以根绝。如果医院只想敛财，不是一心想着病人的光明和健康，那就和屠宰场火葬场没什么两样。这样的医院，不应该存在于我们这个国家。

They had arrived in San Francisco, where their ship was decommissioned, and Paul bet that he would find himself a wife within two weeks. He was a taut, tattooed engine mechanic, six feet tall, with a passing resemblance to James Dean. But it wasn’t his looks that got him a date with Clara Hagopian, a sweet-humored daughter of Armenian immigrants. It was the fact that he and his friends had a car, unlike the group she had originally planned to go out with that evening. Ten days later, in March 1946, Paul got engaged to Clara and won his wager. It would turn out to be a happy marriage, one that lasted until death parted them more than forty years later. Paul Reinhold Jobs had been raised on a dairy farm in Germantown, Wisconsin. Even though his father was an alcoholic and sometimes abusive, Paul ended up with a gentle and calm disposition under his leathery exterior. After dropping out of high school, he wandered through the Midwest picking up work as a mechanic until, at age nineteen, he joined the Coast Guard, even though he didn’t know how to swim. He was deployed on the USS General M. C. Meigs and spent much of the war ferrying troops to Italy for General Patton. His talent as a machinist and fireman earned him commendations, but he occasionally found himself in minor trouble and never rose above the rank of seaman. Clara was born in New Jersey, where her parents had landed after fleeing the Turks in Armenia, and they moved to the Mission District of San Francisco when she was a child. She had a secret that she rarely mentioned to anyone: She had been married before, but her husband had been killed in the war. So when she met Paul Jobs on that first date, she was primed to start a new life. Like many who lived through the war, they had experienced enough excitement that, when it was over, they desired simply to settle down, raise a family, and lead a less eventful life. They had little money, so they moved to Wisconsin and lived with Paul’s parents for a few years, then headed for Indiana, where he got a job as a machinist for International Harvester. His passion was tinkering with old cars, and he made money in his spare time buying, restoring, and selling them. Eventually he quit his day job to become a full-time used car salesman. Clara, however, loved San Francisco, and in 1952 she convinced her husband to move back there. They got an apartment in the Sunset District facing the Pacific, just south of Golden Gate Park, and he took a job working for a finance company as a “repo man,” picking the locks of cars whose owners hadn’t paid their loans and repossessing them. He also bought, repaired, and sold some of the cars, making a decent enough living in the process. There was, however, something missing in their lives. They wanted children, but Clara had suffered an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg was implanted in a fallopian tube rather than the uterus, and she had been unable to have any. So by 1955, after nine years of marriage, they were looking to adopt a child. Like Paul Jobs, Joanne Schieble was from a rural Wisconsin family of German heritage. Her father, Arthur Schieble, had immigrated to the outskirts of Green Bay, where he and his wife owned a mink farm and dabbled successfully in various other businesses, including real estate and photoengraving. He was very strict, especially regarding his daughter’s relationships, and he had strongly disapproved of her first love, an artist who was not a Catholic. Thus it was no surprise that he threatened to cut Joanne off completely when, as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, she fell in love with Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Muslim teaching assistant from Syria. Jandali was the youngest of nine children in a prominent Syrian family. His father owned oil refineries and multiple other businesses, with large holdings in Damascus and Homs, and at one point pretty much controlled the price of wheat in the region. His mother, he later said, was a “traditional Muslim woman” who was a “conservative, obedient housewife.” Like the Schieble family, the Jandalis put a premium on education. Abdulfattah was sent to a Jesuit boarding school, even though he was Muslim, and he got an undergraduate degree at the American University in Beirut before entering the University of Wisconsin to pursue a doctoral degree in political science. In the summer of 1954, Joanne went with Abdulfattah to Syria. They spent two months in Homs, where she learned from his family to cook Syrian dishes. When they returned to Wisconsin she discovered that she was pregnant. They were both twenty-three, but they decided not to get married. Her father was dying at the time, and he had threatened to disown her if she wed Abdulfattah. Nor was abortion an easy option in a small Catholic community. So in early 1955, Joanne traveled to San Francisco, where she was taken into the care of a kindly doctor who sheltered unwed mothers, delivered their babies, and quietly arranged closed adoptions. Joanne had one requirement: Her child must be adopted by college graduates. So the doctor arranged for the baby to be placed with a lawyer and his wife. But when a boy was born—on February 24, 1955—the designated couple decided that they wanted a girl and backed out. Thus it was that the boy became the son not of a lawyer but of a high school dropout with a passion for mechanics and his salt-of-the-earth wife who was working as a bookkeeper. Paul and Clara named their new baby Steven Paul Jobs. When Joanne found out that her baby had been placed with a couple who had not even graduated from high school, she refused to sign the adoption papers. The standoff lasted weeks, even after the baby had settled into the Jobs household. Eventually Joanne relented, with the stipulation that the couple promise—indeed sign a pledge—to fund a savings account to pay for the boy’s college education.
