One or two doctors sit in the pediatric emergency room at night. Why does it take four hours to queue for five minutes?

At present, among several public hospitals in urban areas, only the Municipal People's Hospital and the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital have opened night pediatric emergency. Dozens of people lined up normally. Fever below 40℃ cannot be given priority. One after another, the parents of the children complained about "waiting in line for four hours and seeing a doctor for five minutes".

Ms. Li said that one night, she took her daughter with a high fever of 39 degrees to the emergency department of Beihai People's Hospital. After getting the number, she had to wait in line for nearly three hours because more children sought medical treatment. /kloc-arrived at the hospital after 0: 00, and it was already after 0: 00 in the morning after the child was optimistic. "The process of seeing a doctor lasted only a few minutes, but we waited almost all night. 90% of children who come to the emergency room in the middle of the night have a fever. Can't they open more consultation rooms? In addition, the hospital stipulates that high fever of 40℃ can be treated first. If the child burns to 39.9 C, does it take so long in such a critical situation? " Ms. Li is deeply confused about this.

The characteristics of pediatric diseases are different from those of adults. The reason why the priority standard such as 40℃ is set is because "children will be higher when they have a fever, and they basically come to the emergency department. If there is a priority, then not all of them have priority, and there is no way to maintain order. " It is understood that because pediatrics are mostly outpatient, the hospitalization time is short, and they come and go in a hurry, so the work intensity of pediatricians is quite high and the risks are high. Because pediatrics is called "dumb department", most patients can't express their condition accurately, and their condition changes rapidly. In addition, parents have high expectations and requirements. Therefore, pediatricians face greater psychological pressure. Coupled with the low salary, fewer and fewer people are willing to become pediatricians.

Children's illness is characterized by aggravated symptoms at night, so there are often more people seeking medical treatment at night, and their condition is more urgent, but there are only one or two doctors. I hope the hospital can pay more attention to the allocation of night medical resources. In addition, fast medical channels such as green channels are also expected to be more perfect, alleviating the problem of children's "difficulty in seeing a doctor" at night.
