2006年月6日,《财经》杂志刊登一万两千字长篇报道《哈尔滨天价医疗费真相》,事件水落石出,记者评述说:“问题之发生,固然暴露了有关医院管理诸方面的重大弊端,也昭显了病人家属以‘钱权之势’影响和主导医疗过程之严重后果。” On June 6th, 2006, Caijing magazine published a 12,000-word lengthy report, “The Truth About Harbin Astronomical Medical Expenses,” and the incident came to light. The reporter commented: “The occurrence of problems has exposed the major drawbacks of various aspects of hospital management. It also shows the serious consequences of the patient’s family’s influence with the ’money power’ and the leading medical process.”
