In the early morning of February 8, the emergency department of the Gutian Branch of Wuhan Fourth Hospital jumped out of the new registration information on the calling machine.
However, what made the emergency department doctor cry and laugh was that this "emergency patient" turned out to be a cat.
In fact, such fantasy things are not uncommon.
You see a lot of searches on the Internet, remember that before a person forced the doctor to see his dog, the doctor refused, he smashed the emergency room, saying that the doctor had no love, no medical ethics, and then hyped up on the Internet.
In fact, a few years ago, dopamine was also forced into business and was asked to see a dog.
To this day, dopamine can still remember the scene.
That night shift, a middle-aged female patient came to the emergency room, she took her medicare card to register, and then asked to see her dog.
She said her dog had kidney stones, which hurt and wanted to come to the hospital to see some painkillers.
Ask her to take her dog to the pet hospital, which she says has no emergency room at night.
Tell her that this is a place for people to see, not animals.
But she said very reasonably, it doesn't matter, just treat the child, reduce the amount of medicine by half, and I will not trouble you when something happens.
Listening to the tone, I also have to thank her for not looking for trouble.
Such unreasonable demands are naturally rejected.
Then she didn't understand, obviously the hospital has medicine, obviously she used a medical insurance card, obviously she didn't look for trouble when she said something, why didn't she see her dog?
Intermediate communication link, omitting five thousand words.
Later, a big aunt told her: "There is a pet hospital next door to XX Hospital, and there are emergency rooms at night." ”
She left in a daze.
In fact, everyone is a local, with pets, and it is impossible not to know that there is a pet hospital there. It's just that the pet hospital is too expensive, and she wants to use her own medical insurance card.
Back to the point, let's talk about the Fourth Hospital of Wuhan.
It turned out that the cat was sick in the middle of the night, the nearby pet hospital did not open the door, and the owner went straight to the nearest hospital in a hurry.

At 4 a.m., Dr. Li, who was on duty in the emergency department of the hospital, was in the emergency room. A young man entered the examination room with the call of the trumpeter, carrying a large bag on his back.
"I thought there was something wrong with him, so I quickly asked him where he was uncomfortable." But the man's answer made him cry and laugh, it turned out that the man was carrying a cat in his backpack, and this sick kitten needed treatment.
The man told the medical staff that the kittens in the family were uncomfortable, diarrhea, and there was no pet hospital opening late at night, and he was in a hurry and wanted to try it at the hospital and prescribe some medicine that the cat could eat. After registering in his own name, he walked into the emergency department with the cat.
"There were many emergency patients that night, and an elderly man with heart failure had just been rescued, and suddenly a person who wanted to prescribe medicine to the cat came, and everyone was confused," said a nurse on duty.
The medical staff explained to the registered man: "The hospital is for people to see patients, and then it does not have the qualifications to treat animals, let alone the medicine that animals eat!" ”
After repeated explanations by the medical staff, the man withdrew his number and left.

According to Dr. Li, this is the first time since he started his medical career that he has encountered someone bringing a pet to the hospital for medical treatment, and he has only heard about it from his peers before.
Dr. Li said that the hospital's medical equipment and equipment have strict disinfection regulations, and they must not be used to examine animals; the physiological structure of animals and people is different, and it is not necessary to see animals if they can see a doctor.
Although it can understand the pet lover's love for small animals, but the doctors hope that the public friends can understand the positioning of the emergency department, the emergency department mainly accepts acute and critical patients, will give priority to the treatment of acute and critical patients, the examination is often for emergency patients, and the drugs prepared are often rescue drugs. At present, medical resources are still very tight, small animals are sick, do not come to the emergency department of the hospital.
Emergency rooms are hard to find, which is already the norm in the world.
Why is it that a place to rescue critically ill patients, a place that should have sufficient medical resources, there is a bed that is difficult to find.
A big reason is that "emergency department is not urgent", and a large number of emergency resources are wasted. For example, the cases in the text, such as some patients who can be treated in outpatient clinics, and even more hang up an emergency number, just to prescribe some chronic diseases.
It is true that the doctor cannot turn you away, but you must know that when you explain it to you, it is likely to delay the treatment of a critically ill patient. When it comes to prescribing medication for you, many patients who really need first aid line up behind you, adding to their painful time. Or if you lie on the rescue bed for infusion treatment, the next patient who really needs to be rescued may have to be transferred to another hospital because he has no bed, resulting in missing the best rescue time.
Dopamine here reminds again that it is no longer necessary to waste and consume the resources of the emergency department, and to give those patients who really need emergency treatment a way to survive.
