Doctors in China, they are the guardians of life, but under the current medical system, they are also struggling for survival. In China,Doctors are facing serious working conditions, such as long working hours, a large number of patients in charge and unsatisfactory salaries, which have aroused deep concern.. At the same time, the lives of doctors are also facing a life-and-death test under the pressure of the medical system.
In some hospitals, the workload of doctors is amazing. It has been reported that,Some doctors need to be responsible for 50 beds in a night shift cycle, while residents may have to deal with 70 or 80 patients at the same time.. This means that doctors need to work day and night, even sacrificing their rest time.
In the personal experience of an orthopedic surgeon in Jiangsu, he failed to leave the hospital for three days and two nights in a row. At the peak, he was in charge of 52 patients alone. Working tirelessly, working late into the night every day. This kind of work intensity not only makes doctors physically and mentally exhausted, but also makes them have to run around in medical races, hoping to catch up with their illness.
However, despite such a heavy workload, the salary level of some doctors is not satisfactory. A doctor shared on the post that his salary is only over 4,000 yuan, which is obviously not enough for a doctor who has been trained and struggled for many years. The imbalance between doctors’ efforts and rewards has become a worrying problem in the medical industry.
The problem of sudden death of doctors has aroused widespread concern. According to the statistics of the medical journal China Circulation Journal,In the first seven months of 2017 alone, 13 cases of sudden death of doctors were reported nationwide.. This phenomenon is more prominent in the fields of anesthesia and surgery. Shockingly,About 83% of the sudden death cases of doctors are men, with an average age of less than 40. Among them, the situation of anesthesiologists is particularly prominent, with an average age of only 32 years old.. Jesus in the medical field also died on the track of the hospital. What are the reasons behind this?
A study found that long working hours significantly increased the possibility of medical errors. Doctors are prone to fatigue and psychological stress due to long-term work, which increases the risk of patients’ treatment. In this medical race, doctors must not only cope with the busy work schedule, but also overcome fatigue and stress to ensure the safety of patients.
However, the problem is not just individual doctors. The medical system itself has problems. Some hospitals lack enough doctors or trainees to share the work, which makes doctors have to bear more work pressure. In some cases, doctors have lower professional titles and status, but they need to undertake more work. Bottlenecks and irrationalities in the medical system have overwhelmed doctors and doubled their livelihood pressure.
The voice of doctors keeps ringing, and they hope that the medical system can pay attention to and improve their working conditions. It is imperative to reform and invest in the medical system to ensure that doctors can get reasonable working conditions and rewards, while maintaining their health and quality of life. Doctors also expect more norms and systems to ensure their rights and safety.
In the medical field, doctors are the most valuable assets and guardians of life. However, their current working conditions are worrying. The heavy workload, short salary and sudden death of doctors all remind us that the medical system needs to be changed, and the hard work and contribution of doctors should be fully respected and rewarded. The life and health of doctors can not be ignored. Their race aims at saving lives, and this race needs the attention and support of the whole society. Only in this way can we ensure the health of the medical system and the safety of patients.
