Of course, 6 months and 18 days - in the United States, it is difficult to see a doctor

In the United States, it is difficult to see a doctor.

Ran Ran was sick for so many days, after experiencing Saturday and Sunday fear, today is Exactly Monday, I can't wait to let Ran Ran's mother call to make an appointment with the doctor.

However, the current symptoms are: wheezing, coughing, runny nose, eating a little less than before the illness, and crying at night due to coughing. The mental state is not much different from before the illness, and the body temperature has always been normal. However, when I breathe, there is a purring sound in the throat, and I am more worried about inflammation in the lungs and bronchi, whether it will be other complications.

Later, Ran ran's mother told me that she had called for an appointment, and the nurse who answered the phone said that as long as there was no fever and respiratory distress, she could not come to the hospital, which meant that the appointment was rejected.

I was so angry that I had nothing to say. People like me who are not in a hurry to get sick with their children, seeing that the disease is developing and worsening, the doctor still refuses to accept the treatment, if in China, which doctor dares to be so cattle!

Because I have some medical knowledge, I am still very rational about Ranran's condition. At first, when I was sick, I drank more water to prevent colds, but then the disease developed and worsened, especially the baby had a wheezing sound, which made me a little uneasy. At this time, it should be said that it is still necessary to see a doctor, but in the eyes of American doctors, it is still not necessary. If this had been done to people who didn't know how to treat, they might have jumped up long ago – why not let them see a doctor? The baby eats badly, sleeps badly, is asthmatic and coughing, why can't the doctor see?

The declined appointment reflects two problems.

The first is the negative treatment of colds in Western medicine, and doctors will only deal with them if there is a serious change in the condition. We talk about the tertiary preventive measures of early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment, and there seems to be no concept of this concept in the United States. Colds rely on their own immunity. However, parents have colds that are "natural", drink more water, rest more, and there is no good way in Western medicine.

Second, the appointment was rejected, indicating that the condition is still under control, but it is necessary to continue to slowly survive until it heals itself.
