Recently, mycoplasma infection is serious, pediatrics is full, a parent took the child to the emergency department in the middle of the night, and found that there was only one doctor on duty, and there were dozens of children waiting outside, and when it was not their turn to wait in line for two hours, the parent was very impatient, rushed in and yelled at the doctor, venting his dissatisfaction.
He posted this incident on the online platform, hoping that netizens could understand his feelings, and felt that the hospital should not arrange only one doctor when there were so many children, and felt that the doctor would not speed up the consultation when he knew that so many children were queuing. He thought that netizens would take care of him and resonate with him. However, this time, most of the people in the comment section gave a rational opinion.
What's the use of you going to scold the pediatrician?Is he idlely eating melon seeds?Didn't he see the child?He's been seeing the doctor non-stop, but it's not your turn to see your child, and you start scolding, you think he is slow, you want him to only see other children for a minute or even skip without looking, and then directly see your child, right?Why are you so selfish?
You also said that you can do it if you want, don't complain, some medical students who have just graduated can't find a job!The question is that a recent medical student sees your child, would you like to?Are you reassured?Did you know that some hospitals have canceled pediatric emergencies?Do you think pediatricians are that good at being a pediatrician?Do you know how hard it is to be a doctor in China?
First, doctors have a long learning cycle.
Medical students need to live to learn all the time, they need to learn basic subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry from high school, and maintain a high score in the college entrance examination in order to enter the ideal medical school, the study time of medical school is usually five to seven years, while other undergraduates are generally only four years. During the university, medical students need to learn basic medical knowledge and courses in various specialties, including theoretical courses, laboratory courses and clinical practice, students need to master a lot of medical knowledge, and participate in experiments and clinical practice to improve their practical ability.
After graduating from university in 5 years, it usually takes 3 years to get a master's degree, and even if it is a bachelor's degree, it is 8 years, and then you have to participate in regular training for 3 years, which is the most basic. I also have to be the general hospitalist, take the hospital as my home, eat, drink and Lazar have to be in the hospital, do the most tiring work, work the most overtime, and take the least money, and I can't say anything, it's wrong to say it, because everyone is like this, why can't you do it if others can do it?It's your fault that you can't do it, so you have to take it.
It's finally been able to take charge on your own, and you think you can stop studying?Patients don't get sick according to your textbooks, you don't have a lot of clinical experience, how can you accumulate clinical experience if you don't learn?Don't you learn how to cope with the complex and changing conditions of your patients?
Second, the road to the advancement of doctors is difficult.
If you want to enter a tertiary hospital as a doctor, you must read a doctorate, that is, 5 years of bachelor's degree plus 3 years of master's degree plus 3 years of doctorate, which is quite smooth, if you encounter a doctor's delay, it may take longer, which is at least 11 years, and there is an 8-year direct doctorate, but this kind of national currently only 16 colleges and universities enroll, basically 985 schools, the requirements are relatively high.
After finishing the doctorate, I successfully entered the hospital, and I had to do the residency, and then the attending exam, and then the deputy chief physician, the chief physician, this advancement is not so easy, it depends on the right time, place and people, some hospitals have too many rules and regulations, too many requirements, and sometimes it depends on luck, in short, this process is more difficult. The hospital requires doctors not only to be able to see patients, but also to be able to conduct scientific research, but also to be able to write papers and produce scientific research results, otherwise it is impossible to judge your professional level.
Third, the starting income of doctors is not high.
The public thinks that doctors are a high-income industry, but many people don't know that the starting income of doctors is not high, or even very low, and people in other specialties can get the ideal income in the industry after working for a period of time, and doctors often face economic challenges at the beginning of their careers. Medical students need to invest a lot of time and energy in learning and practice, and other professionals are already making money to support their families, while doctors may not even dare to fall in love, because they have no money and no time, so they can't talk about buying a house or a car.
The doctors you see with higher salaries are actually doctors who have accumulated a lot of clinical experience and have been promoted, and young doctors have to work shifts, perform surgeries, talk to patients, write medical records, and obey the arrangements of senior doctors. They do the most tiring work, they have the most heart, they manage the most patients, they have the least income, but they can't do anything.
Fourth, the work intensity of doctors is extremely high.
Doctors' working hours are irregular, young doctors need to work in shifts, they need to work on weekends and holidays, and they often work overtime. According to the American Medical Association (AMA), the average weekly working hours of doctors are 50 hours, while according to the National Health Service (NHS) survey, the average weekly working hours of doctors are 48 hours, and according to the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the average weekly working hours of Chinese doctors are about 60-70 hours, which may vary depending on the region, the type of hospital and the individual doctor. Although doctors' working hours are also regulated by Chinese labor laws, such as 44 hours per week, due to the peculiarities of the medical industry, some hospitals may sign special labor contracts with doctors to allow them to work overtime.
Fifth, doctors do not have holidays, and they work night shifts to doubt life.
According to the Chinese Health Commission, hospitals should ensure 24-hour uninterrupted medical services, so doctors in China are generally required to work night shifts, several times a month, and the duration of night shifts can range from 8 to 12 hours or even 24 hours. The frequency and duration of night shifts are related to the grade and size of the hospital, and doctors in large first-tier hospitals often need to work night shifts more frequently and for longer night shifts.
Doctors have a large workload on night shifts, because night medical services often face emergencies and emergencies, doctors need to be ready to deal with various first aid and emergency surgeries, and deal with the complex and changeable changes of patients' conditions at any time, and the rest time after night shifts is not well guaranteed, many doctors can only rest for half a day after the 24-hour night shift, and then go to work the next day. Therefore, the children of the doctor's family generally do not have a happy childhood, they are all entertaining themselves and growing up slowly, and sometimes they may not be able to see it in time when they are sick and living in their own hospital.
Please stop scolding doctors and stop complaining about doctors at every turn, in the current social context, doctors are under great work pressure and responsibility, and they need the support and understanding of all of us. Since you go to the hospital, please choose to trust them, respect their professionalism and professional judgment, and don't vent your grievances on the doctor because of your personal emotions. Doctors are human beings and occasionally make mistakes, but this is not a reason to scold doctors or complain about doctors, after all, doctors are faced with countless individual health problems, and they cannot respond to every case perfectly every time. We should communicate with the doctor through normal channels and raise our own questions and grievances in a reasonable way.
Each of us may need the help of a doctor, when we encounter health problems, we should be grateful to accept the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, we should understand the doctor's hard work and pressure, maintain good communication and cooperation with them, and jointly promote the improvement of the doctor-patient relationship, only in this way, we can jointly create a harmonious and mutual trust medical environment, so that doctors can better escort our health.
