The hospital

This site is published by Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital at 301 Huafu Avenue North Section, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. Every reference to the hospital on this site means that institution, and the treating team practises within it.

Advertising and claims

This site describes treatments by substance and technology class. It names no antibiotic, no drug brand and no device brand, does not quote prices, and does not quote dosages. It states risks, limits and alternatives, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.

Honesty requirements for a time-critical finding

Because an infection that is spreading can move quickly and can compromise tissue permanently, this site states plainly which findings need emergency care, states that direction rather than appearance decides the question, and states that an implant changes the rules. It does not present any treatment as a guarantee, and it publishes no emergency telephone number of its own.
