Faxiao and Dr. Yin were in their sweet period, so they ate together. Faxiao often gave Dr. Yin supper.
Xie Wanying smiled and said, "Yes, the hospital arranges for doctors to take turns going to the emergency room."
"Isn't he from the ward? How do your doctors work shifts? He's not an emergency doctor, so why does he go to work in the emergency room?" As a layperson, Wu Lixuan didn't quite understand the doctor's duty system.
"There are very few doctors in the emergency department because we do not have a regional emergency center in China. Each hospital has its own emergency room. This may be more economical," Xie Wanying said.
The medical construction system of each country is different. Each country has its own merits and can only be said to be suitable for its own national conditions. The domestic population base is large, and the establishment of a regional emergency center may not be able to meet the conditions for the large number of patients. Now there are so many hospitals that cannot treat the common people.
There are so many people that it is difficult to seek medical treatment, let alone building some emergency centers to meet the needs of the people.
Each hospital builds its own emergency department. If it recruits emergency doctors specifically, it is equivalent to paying another labor cost. The domestic economic conditions are average for the time being. Without this capital, the hospital must operate at a low cost, and the abacus once again falls on the doctors.
Some of the doctors working in various departments were assigned to emergency shifts, which saved manpower costs. The emergency system that has always been operated in China has not worked, so it has been continued. Anyway, cases that cannot be handled by emergency doctors still have to be handled by the higher-ups.
The specialist came down for consultation.
The competition among departments for business is already very strong. How about a dedicated emergency doctor competing with other departments for business? Hospital leaders need to think about whether it is necessary. General hospitals, including the National Association, will not consider this strategy at this stage.
Unless the economy develops and gets closer to developed countries, people's living standards improve, and the cost of medical care increases, it will not be too late to talk about it.
Specifically speaking about the personnel situation in the emergency department of the National Association of Medical Sciences, the doctors assigned by each department to be on duty in the emergency department are resident physicians and attending physicians.
Yin Fengchun is the chief physician. He has to be on duty in the emergency department unless he is the deputy chief.
"You don't have to work the night shift until you become deputy senior." Wu Lixuan heard this information for the first time and asked, "Yingying, where is your senior brother Huang?"
"Senior Brother Huang is not a deputy senior, just an attending physician, the same thing. He is always busier in hospital this year. When he returns to the department next year, he will continue to take night shifts in the ward and arrange emergency room shifts."
"In this way, there is no difference between attending treatment and hospitalization, right?"
Of course not. The main force of the emergency department should be first-year residents or above who need to accumulate clinical experience and training. However, most of the medical students recruited by the National Association of Medical Sciences are Ph.D.s, and doctors are promoted to attending doctors very quickly, resulting in a shortage of emergency room residents in the National Association of Medical Sciences.
Physicians and attending physicians can each account for half of the on-duty personnel.
"How often do you have to go to the emergency room with him?" Wu Lixuan asked again.
How often it takes depends on how many doctors in the hospital are on emergency duty. Which department sends emergency personnel on duty? It can only be said that the emergency department of the General Hospital of the General Hospital is the same as most general hospitals. The emergency department is only divided into internal medicine and internal medicine departments.
There are two sections for the general surgery department. Regardless of the size of the department, no matter who meets the conditions, according to the principle of fairness, he will be required to be on emergency duty.
For the specific scheduling situation, the department whose turn it is is to prepare a list of personnel in advance and submit it to the director of the emergency department, who will then make a specific duty list.
