I went to the hospital and found that such a strange phenomenon is common in hospitals now
Regarding the layout of the hospital's departments, this is the point I want to complain about the most. It is estimated that many people have discovered that many hospitals nowadays, especially large general hospitals, have scattered departments, and outpatient clinics, examinations, and other links are often distributed on different floors or in different buildings.
As patients, we often need to shuttle between different buildings to complete a series of tedious steps such as **, payment, medicine, and examination. After a set of processes, physical fatigue is still the same thing for me, and psychological pressure should not be underestimated. Especially in the case of not being familiar with the hospital environment, I think it is really easy to make people dizzy, and even many times it will delay precious ** time, which is definitely not alarmist.
In addition, for older patients, their experience is more dependent on the company of their families. Because the elderly face more difficulties in the medical process, for example, hospitals now require patients to fill in complex **, understand complex disease information or some indicators, etc. In addition, the elderly generally lack sufficient response capacity in the face of emergencies.
Imagine how helpless an elderly person who is unfamiliar with the modern healthcare system will feel helpless sitting alone in front of the **window, facing a bunch of ** that needs to be filled out. With a family by your side, it's all a lot easier. Family members can help them fill out **, answer questions, and even help jot down doctor's instructions if needed.
In addition, the question of medical expenses made me even more miserable. It is undeniable that with the continuous advancement of medical technology, the means of examination are becoming more and more abundant, but at the same time, medical services are also over-commercialized, so the corresponding costs are also rising. Many times, as patients, we have to undergo a series of expensive tests for fear of missing a condition. And these expenses are undoubtedly a big burden for many ordinary families. Especially when there is no health insurance or medical insurance coverage, I feel that seeing a doctor has become almost a luxury.
Prescribing medicine after seeing a doctor in a hospital is also an expensive consumer item. Not long ago, I accompanied my family to the hospital to see a doctor, and the doctor only prescribed a few boxes of medicine, and the cost was as high as a few hundred yuan. This kind of ** makes me really unbearable. If you need to undergo surgery or a long time** in some special circumstances, the medical expenses will accumulate rapidly, and the financial pressure you have to bear can be imagined. This will cause some people to hesitate or even give up when they need medical attention**.
To be honest, the moment everyone walked into the hospital, the importance of money was magnified countless times in an instant. After all, unlike shopping or dining in everyday life, a hospital is a place you can't bargain for. In the face of expensive inspection fees and costs, we often have to choose to accept it silently. Because in the face of life, money becomes completely insignificant. We are willing to pay any price for our health, even if it is a bankruptcy. Only then can we deeply realize that although money is important, health is priceless.
Here, too many tragedies of poverty due to illness and return to poverty due to illness are staged every day. Those who once possessed untold wealth have become so vulnerable to disease. No amount of money is as important as having a healthy body. Money can buy drugs and **, but not health and life.
Finally, I have to complain about the design of the elevator in the hospital. Nowadays, in order to facilitate patients and medical staff, many hospitals have divided elevators into single and double decks. Although this design seems reasonable in theory, in practice it causes a lot of confusion for users. Sometimes we need to go to a floor that is not the one where the elevator stops directly, so we have to change elevators several times to get to our destination, wasting more waiting time.
