Unreasonable decision

Nothing could be more ridiculous and unreasonable as the decision by the Henan provincial bureau of health to punish a local hospital for cutting open the chest of a migrant worker and making the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. The reason for the punishment, according to the bureau, is that the hospital is not designated to diagnose occupational diseases.

True, the local occupational disease prevention institute has the sole authority to certify such diseases, but it diagnosed the migrant workers with tuberculosis. The fact is that the migrant worker would have to wait to die without a penny in compensation had it not been for the right diagnosis from the First Hospital Attached to Zhengzhou University of Medical Science, which performed the operation.

Any sensible person will agree that the hospital did the right thing. It is the obligation of any hospital and any doctor to make the right diagnosis of any patient who goes to them for help. Even without the designation as a hospital to certify occupational diseases, a hospital still has the right to provide the correct diagnosis if it's discovered that a patient has an occupational disease.
