Doctor Zhao, help!

Chapter 305 Ferocious Attack

The next day.

Eight twenty in the morning.

Today it was Zhao Sheng's turn to work the regular day shift again. As soon as Zhao Sheng arrived at the doctor's office, he saw that Li Weidong had already arrived, and judging from the solemn look on his face, it was obvious that something serious had happened.

"director?"

Zhao Sheng couldn't help asking when he saw Li Weidong's face.

After the meeting two days ago, Zhao Sheng would routinely ask Li Weidong before the meeting to see if anything happened.

"Director Zhao, you are here. I happen to have something to talk to you about in advance."

Li Weidong saw Zhao Sheng coming in, so he said to Zhao Sheng very seriously, and he also rarely used the formal title "Director Zhao".

You know, because Li Weidong and the current dean Yu Zhongbo have been friends for many years, Li Weidong also regarded Zhao Sheng as a junior, so he was generally called "Xiao Zhao", which is a kind of name for juniors from elders. And Zhao Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Li Weidong was indeed worthy of his respect and learning in all aspects.

But now that Li Weidong uses such a formal title, it means that something serious is about to happen, and a formal explanation must be made.

"Director, tell me."

Zhao Sheng looked and found that Lin Haizhou, who was on duty yesterday, was not here at the moment.

This is a bit strange. It's the morning meeting now. Under normal circumstances, Lin Haizhou should be waiting to take over.

"Do you know the situation in pediatrics now? Just yesterday, there were more than [-] pediatric emergency room registrations."

Li Weidong said with a serious face.

"Huh? More than [-]?"

Zhao Sheng was stunned when he heard this registration number. You must know that the medical power of the Pediatrics of the First Affiliated Hospital is not very strong. Although it is still good, it is not as good as a specialized children's hospital. Generally speaking, there are The maximum number of quality registrations is only about three to four hundred.

Now the number has been directly linked to more than [-], which is no longer an issue of over-capacity.

Treating children is not a simple matter. It can be said that in addition to seeing a doctor, the doctor also spends a lot of time explaining the condition and comforting the parents of the children.

There are not just one or two parents who fight with doctors because of their children's medical treatment.

"Yes, the overload situation in the pediatric department is now very serious. According to reports, some parents have been sleeping in the emergency hall of the pediatric building for a week. If this situation is not curbed, the pediatric department will be overwhelmed."

Li Weidong nodded solemnly.

Just think about it and you will know what it will be like if your child has a high fever of 39° or 40° and comes to the hospital for treatment, but the number is more than [-].

The key is that such situations are not just one or two. If things go on like this, serious conflicts will break out after all.

Although the pediatric department in the First Affiliated Hospital is not a major department, it does not want to close it because of this reason.

"This winter, multiple influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, certain viruses, adenovirus and mycoplasma pathogens are circulating together. There is no way to overcrowd the pediatrician."

Zhao Sheng nodded and said.    "So what is the courtyard going to do?"

After a pause, Zhao Sheng asked again.

Some people may say that since there are so many people coming to see pediatricians in a tertiary hospital, they can go to other hospitals. The problem is that the same applies to other hospitals. What about community hospitals? What about small clinics? What about private hospitals?

That's because most parents are more concerned about big hospitals. Today's children are the treasures of the family, so parents will give priority to going to tertiary pediatric hospitals. If there are no specialized pediatric hospitals, they will also give priority to the pediatric hospitals in tertiary hospitals.

Parents will worry about going to community hospitals or small clinics. There are no specialized pediatricians, whether their children will be misdiagnosed, or there is a lack of testing equipment, etc. When most parents have the same idea, and then it is a period of high virus incidence, avoid it. This kind of medical shortage will never happen.

Of course, there is another factor that leads to the overcrowding of pediatrics. Today, when the contradiction between doctors and patients in pediatrics is becoming increasingly prominent, some hospitals have closed their pediatrics from the perspective of efficiency, and some hospitals have closed pediatrics for those under 16 years of age. No, some hospitals allow girls to be over 12 years old to see adult emergency rooms, while boys are required to be over 16 years old.

This is why when children get sick, they are more concentrated in children's hospitals and hospitals with pediatrics.

Then some people may ask, since the demand for pediatrics is so great, why not increase beds and recruit more nurses and doctors?

From the perspective of efficiency, the outbreak of pediatric diseases only occurs in the two to three months in winter. It is unrealistic to recruit a large number of nurses and doctors just for these two to three months.

In any ordinary city in China, apart from a few tertiary hospitals and children's hospitals, and some community outpatient clinics, there are almost no places dedicated to pediatrics.

why?

There are many things to do and little money. Patients and their families are extremely sensitive, and it is difficult to handle if something goes wrong.

"Under the current situation, if we don't want the pediatric department to close down, we can only rely on personnel from each department to provide support."

"Now, the only department in the hospital that has the conditions to support pediatrics is our critical care center. Even if doctors from other departments are recruited, they don't have relevant experience."

Li Weidong said slowly.

Sending doctors from the critical care center to assist pediatricians seems to be very inconsistent with medical standards, because in hospitals, there is a natural rule, that is, specialization in surgery.

However, the critical emergency center often deals with critically ill children, so it still has a lot of experience in this area.

However, the medical tasks of the critical care center are already very heavy, so the doctors on duty cannot move. They can only work the ordinary day shift and call back the doctors who are taking a break.

"I'll take someone to the pediatrician."

He knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song. When he heard Li Weidong say this, Zhao Sheng understood what Li Weidong meant.

To be honest, leading people to support pediatrics is a thankless job. The doctor-patient relationship in pediatrics is not good, and medical conflicts are very prominent, especially when pediatrics is in dire straits.

But Zhao Sheng also understood that under such circumstances, the hospital could still make such a decision, which was a sign of responsibility.

Otherwise, there is no need to send out more than [-] trumpets.

Although some parents have already complained that "there are too many numbers, so don't put so many if you can't finish it!"

But those who say this, have they ever thought about those patients who are inconvenient to come from far away, who are more in need of tertiary care, and whose condition is more critical, but have not been registered.

What should they do?

If we don’t release so many reports, shouldn’t someone say that doctors don’t save people’s lives and have no medical ethics?

There are more than 1600 account sources, whether they are released or not, the only ones who dare to be criticized are doctors. Can doctors not feel aggrieved?

It’s okay to feel wronged. Being wronged is a common occurrence for pediatricians, but what’s even more frightening is that even if they work overtime, they can’t finish so many numbers.
