Next.

Eight twenty a.m.

Today it was Zhao Sheng's turn to work the ordinary day shift, and as soon as Zhao Sheng arrived at the doctor's office, he saw that Li Weidong had arrived, and looking at his solemn face, it was obvious that there was a very serious situation.

"Director?"

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

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

"Director Zhao, you're here, I just 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 it was rare to use a very formal title like [Director Zhao].

You must know that because Li Weidong and the current dean Yu Zhongbo have been friends for many years, Li Weidong also treats Zhao Sheng as a junior, so he is generally called [Xiao Zhao], which is a kind of elder to junior, and Zhao Sheng didn't feel anything bad, Li Weidong is indeed worthy of his respect and learning in all aspects.

But now that Li Weidong has used such a formal title, it means that there is a serious situation to happen, and it must be explained very formally.

"Director, you say."

Zhao Sheng took a look and found that Lin Haizhou, who was on duty yesterday, was not there at the moment.

This is a bit strange, it is the morning meeting, and under normal circumstances, Lin Haizhou should be waiting for the shift.

"You know what is going on in pediatrics now, right? Just yesterday, the number of pediatric outpatient and emergency registrations has reached more than 1,600. ”

Li Weidong said with a serious face.

"Huh? More than 1,600? ”

As soon as he heard this registration number, Zhao Sheng was stunned, you know, the pediatric department of the affiliated hospital, the medical force is not too strong, although it is still possible, but it is not as good as a specialized children's hospital, generally speaking, the highest number of receptions and registrations with quality every day is about three or four hundred.

Now it is directly hung up to more than 1,600 numbers, which is no longer a problem of excess.

It can be said that in addition to seeing a doctor, doctors also spend a lot of time explaining the child's condition and reassuring the child's parents.

Parents who fight with doctors because of their children's medical treatment, that's not one or two.

"Yes, the situation of pediatric overload is already very serious now, according to the report, there are already parents who have slept in the emergency hall of the pediatric building for a week, and if this situation is not curbed, then the pediatric department will be washed down."

Li Weidong nodded with a very solemn face.

If you think about it, if your child has a high fever of 39 or 40 degrees and comes to the hospital to see a doctor, but it hangs up to more than 1,000 numbers, what kind of mood will it be?

The point is that there are not one or two such situations, and in the long run, after all, a very serious conflict will erupt.

Although the pediatric department in the first affiliated hospital is not a fist department, it does not want to close the pediatric department for this reason.

"This winter, a variety of influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, a certain virus, adenovirus and mycoplasma are epidemic together, and there is no way to fill up the pediatrics."

Zhao Sheng nodded and said.

"So what are you going to do in the hospital?"

After a pause, Zhao Sheng asked again.

Some people may say that there are so many people who come to see pediatrics in tertiary hospitals, you can go to other hospitals, but the problem is that other hospitals are the same, what about community hospitals? What about small clinics? What about private hospitals?

That's because most parents are still more assured that big hospitals, and now children are the palm of the family, so parents will give priority to going to a tertiary pediatric hospital, and there is no special pediatric hospital, which is also a priority to go to a pediatric hospital in a tertiary hospital.

Parents will worry about going to a community hospital or small clinic, without a dedicated pediatrician, whether their children will be misdiagnosed, or lack of testing equipment, etc., when most parents have the same idea, and then it is a period of high incidence of the virus, it is inevitable that there will be this kind of medical run.

Of course, there is another point that leads to the full capacity of pediatrics, that is, in today's increasingly prominent doctor-patient contradiction in pediatrics, some hospitals, from the perspective of efficiency, have closed down pediatrics, and some hospitals are not seen by children under the age of 16, and some hospitals are emergency departments where girls over 12 years old can see adults, and boys are required to be over 16 years old.

This has led to a greater concentration of children in children's hospitals and pediatric hospitals when children get sick.

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

Or from the perspective of efficiency, the outbreak of pediatric diseases, only in the winter for two or three months, for these two or three months, a large number of nurses and doctors are recruited, that is unrealistic.

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

Why?

There are many things, little money, patients and their families are extremely sensitive, and it is not easy to deal with accidents.

"In the current situation, if you don't want the pediatric department to close, you can only rely on the departments to send people to support."

"And now all departments in the hospital have the conditions to support pediatrics, and we are in the intensive care center, and even if doctors are drawn from other departments, they will not have relevant experience."

Li Weidong said slowly.

Pulling out doctors from critical care centers to help pediatricians doesn't seem to be very medically accurate, because there is a natural rule in hospitals, and that is to specialize in surgery.

However, the intensive care center is often dealing with critically ill children, so it still has a lot of experience in this area.

However, the medical tasks of the intensive care center are already very heavy, so the doctors on duty cannot move, so they can only go to the ordinary day shift and call back the doctors who are resting.

"I'll take someone to the pediatrics."

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, hearing Li Weidong say this, Zhao Sheng understood what Li Weidong meant.

To be honest, it is a thankless task to bring people to support pediatrics, and the doctor-patient relationship in pediatrics is not good, and medical contradictions are very prominent, especially when this kind of pediatrics is in dire straits.

But Zhao Sheng also understands that in this case, the hospital can still make this kind of decision, which is a performance of responsibility.

Otherwise, there would be no need to release more than 1,600 of them.

Although there are already parents accusing "too many numbers, don't put so many if you can't finish reading!" ”

But the person who said this, did he think about the patients who were inconvenient to come from afar, who needed more treatment, and whose condition was more critical, but who did not get a number.

What should they do?

If you don't release so many numbers, shouldn't someone say that doctors don't save when they die, and there is no medical ethics?

There are more than 1,600 sources, whether to put it or not, it is the doctors who dare to be blamed, can the doctors not be wronged?

Grievances are forgotten, being wronged is commonplace for pediatricians, but what is even more terrifying is that even if you work overtime, you can't finish reading so many numbers.
