[Reporter Lai Xiaotong/New Taipei Report] A Ms. Liu from New Taipei City complained that she went to the "Wanmei Spa Meiyan Club" to do "navel fumigation" last year, which caused 3rd degree skin burns and severe infection of the wound. She was hospitalized and underwent 3 debridement operations , causing the navel to be excavated and sutured in one piece, but the industry has a negative attitude and has not promised to compensate the medical expenses so far.

Ms. Liu said that she originally purchased massage courses at the Banqiao Pavilion. After the shop closed, she transferred to Shuanghe Pavilion for consumption. On November 26 last year, she did navel fumigation. The beautician claimed that it could promote abdominal circulation and metabolism. After the end, she found that the skin around the belly button was red and swollen , Although I used aloe vera ice packs, I still had large blisters after returning home. I went to the clinic that night to see a doctor. The doctor diagnosed a third-degree burn and gave antibiotics and painkillers for treatment.

Three days later, Ms. Liu still felt unwell, so she went to New Taipei City Tucheng Hospital for medical treatment. She was diagnosed as "second to third degree contact heat injury", and the first debridement operation was arranged. After the wound oozes pus and blood, she was transferred to Yadong Hospital treatment, and debridement again, severe infection when returning to the clinic, the doctor told that "the wound was eaten by bacteria, and the navel may not be preserved", so the navel and the surrounding carrion could only be excavated, and the debridement operation was performed for the third time , The medical expenses before and after spent a total of more than 50,000 yuan.

Ms. Liu accused that the business owner had a negative attitude. She originally only wanted to pay 6,000 yuan in red envelopes. She also said that "hospitals and doctors are your own choice." At the same time, the industry was reported to engage in illegal medical practices, but the Health Bureau found no evidence.

Ms. Liu said that many customers have disputes over consumption. The operator claims that after the branch store is closed, they can switch to other stores for consumption. Replacement of equivalent products, nearly 20 victims have been connected in series, the amount of damage ranged from tens of thousands to 150,000 yuan, and it is planned to file a group lawsuit for compensation.

The industry said that relevant personnel have gone to the police station to take notes, and the whole case has entered the stage of judicial investigation, so it is inconvenient to make any response.

The Legislative Affairs Bureau stated that the consultation meeting was held in February this year, and the industry was absent without justifiable reasons, and an announcement has been made online.

After an administrative investigation, the business owner stated that Ms. Liu only had red skin but no blisters on the day after the umbilical fumigation. I don’t know if there were other factors involved in the follow-up, which led to serious deterioration. The party has not yet provided medical documents. The causality and necessary expenses of this case are yet to be determined. It was clarified, so a settlement could not be reached, because Ms. Liu has filed a criminal injury complaint, and the dispute will be resolved through judicial procedures.

The Health Bureau stated that at the end of last year, it received a report that the museum suspected that the implementation of "smoke navel" involved medical business. In January this year, it went to the site for inspection, but no "smoke navel" was found.

Fumigation belongs to the "moxibustion method" of acupuncture and is a medical auxiliary behavior. It needs to be performed by doctors or nurses under the instructions of doctors. Random checks will be made from time to time. If the verification is true, it will be transferred to the local prosecutor's office for investigation in violation of the doctor's law. .

Ms. Liu in New Taipei City accused her of third-degree burns on her skin after the navel was smoked by the spa operator. Later, the wound became seriously infected, causing her navel and surrounding carrion to be dug out in one piece.
