What should I do if my child is sick and cannot be admitted to the hospital?

When I was doing activities in the welfare home yesterday afternoon, I received a call for help, saying that the child was in the outpatient department of our hospital. He was 5 years old. He suddenly had high fever and convulsions, and his blood count was high. The doctor recommended hospitalization, but there was no bed. Parents Tell me if you can add an extra bed. I learned about the condition and found that the child was stable for the time being. I suggested asking other hospitals for temporary outpatient treatment and contacting the hospital for help on Monday.

The parents expressed their understanding and decided to find a solution on their own. In the evening, I sent a text message to my parents, who responded quickly (see picture above), and I felt relieved.

Recently is a period of high incidence of respiratory system diseases, and many children are affected! The children of many of my old friends are also getting sick one after another, and many are hospitalized. The pediatric outpatient clinics of major hospitals in Xi'an are overcrowded, and it's another season when beds are hard to find.

You need to be hospitalized, but you can’t get into the hospital. The parents are the most anxious. what to do? Let me talk about my experience below.

When your child is sick, don’t make any mistakes. There are at least three solutions to everything.

If you are unable to be admitted to the hospital, you can do the following:

First, communicate politely with the doctor and inquire whether it is allowed to undergo infusion treatment and observation in the outpatient department first, and issue a hospitalization certificate , waiting in line. If you encounter any problems during the infusion process, please consult the doctor on duty at any time.

Second, you must have the mentality of being able to hide in three holes, turn on your mobile phone, rely on friends at critical times, find more friends, and contact other hospitals for hospitalization.

Third, do not blindly rely on tertiary hospitals. If it is a common disease, for example, it is suggested that the disease is caused by bacterial infection, you can first receive infusion treatment in a nearby hospital or even in the community. Then go to a large hospital for follow-up visits regularly.

Fourth, understand the situation of the hospital on weekends. It is usually impossible to have empty beds on weekends, and at the same time, there are no discharge procedures. Every Monday is a relatively easy time to get a bed. Do not go privately on weekends. Transfer to another hospital.

Fifth, try not to ask doctors across disciplines about hospital beds (unless you are the head of the department and have good connections). That is to say, if you want to hospitalize an adult in your family, please do not ask a pediatrician. Figure it out, since pediatricians often have little interaction with adult physicians.

Finally, I would like to say a few words from my heart. When there are no hospital beds, please don’t hate or insult doctors.

The lack of beds is not the responsibility of doctors. Nowadays, it is difficult to get pediatric medical care, there are few pediatricians, and there are few children’s hospitals. Problems such as the number of pediatricians and the lack of children’s hospitals are well known. In addition, the second child is allowed to be allowed, and the problem of not being admitted to the hospital is not caused by doctors. Doctors are also human beings and have children. They understand parents very well and will definitely help if they can. There is no case of patient rejection.

Of course, if there is a bed, we will definitely actively admit the children to the hospital, because the parents of the children are our food and clothing parents
