Save the obstetrics! On February 28, Duan Tao, a well-known obstetrics and gynecology expert and professor at the First Maternity and Infant Health Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University, publicly appealed on Weibo for the development of obstetrics.
The background of Duan Tao's appeal is that many hospitals have closed their obstetric departments. And this closure is just the beginning, and there will be more obstetrics closures in the future.
Obstetrics has been one of the busiest departments in the hospital for the past few decades. However, in recent years, as fertility rates continue to decline, more and more hospitals have begun to consider closing obstetric units. According to statistics, the number of obstetric beds in hospitals across the country has been greatly reduced, and the obstetric departments of many hospitals are barely maintained.
And the consequences of the abolition of obstetrics are also serious:
Save the obstetrics! How to save? Why save? This is a question that many netizens in the medical community are concerned about:
Netizen 1:The undergraduate book is obstetrics and gynecology, and when I arrived at the hospital, I forcibly separated, I don't understand, I guess, it's nothing more than the "heavy workload" of obstetrics back then, and the bigwigs asked for separation, and now the "workload" is gone, and it's starting to sell miserably!
Netizen 2:You can transfer to pediatrics first, and when there is a surplus of pediatrics in a few years, you can transfer to geriatrics togetherNetizen 3:Obstetrics don't need to be saved, think about how to save an obstetrician. Netizen 4:Obstetrics and Gynecology Obstetrics and Gynecology, why should they be separated, the United States is obstetrician-gynecologist, that is, to see ** and obstetrics. Netizen 5:Obstetrics integrates with the development of confinement centers, and the whole process of care from pregnancy to the full moon of the child can increase the income of medical staff from back-end services, and pregnant women and children can receive more professional and considerate services. Netizen 6:Neonatologists likewise don't know where the road is**? Netizen 7:It's obstetrics for a few years, and it's the turn of pediatrics in a few years? Netizen 8:Don't forget to save only obstetrics, cardiovascular, orthopedic and other doctors have something to say. Netizen 9:Whether obstetrics exists is a market-oriented problem, and if fewer children are born, a decrease in obstetrics and obstetricians is inevitable! In the future, obstetrics may not be a specialized department, but will be merged into other departments, which is normal! In today's society, no matter how old you are, continuous learning and transformation work is a must! This doesn't need to be discussed! Obstetrician turned obstetrician and gynecologist, or **, or other departments, why not, it just takes effort and dedication!
