# Why not have a family member accompany the sick and have to pay for a nurse instead?
## Demystifying the "Invisible Rules" of the Medical Industry
There used to be an "invisible rule" lurking in the medical industry, which made many patients and their families puzzled: why in the hospital, family members cannot accompany patients, but can only pay for nurses to accompany them?
## Ensure the rational allocation of medical resources
First of all, we need to clarify an important reason - the rational allocation of medical resources. In hospitals, bed resources are very scarce, and each ward needs to be reasonably arranged to ensure that every patient can receive timely and effective treatment. If family members are allowed to accompany them at all times, it will increase the occupancy of beds and prevent other patients from being admitted to the hospital in a timely manner.
## Caregivers provide professional nursing services
Secondly, as the hospital is not a home environment, patients require special care and attention during the recovery period. Nursing work is a professional medical staff with professional training and experience, and can provide more detailed and professional nursing services. They understand the patient's condition and needs and are able to deal with emergencies in a timely manner to ensure the safety and comfort of the patient.
## Reduce the psychological burden on family members
In addition, taking care of patients is a very onerous task that requires a lot of time and effort. For family members, they may also need to juggle work and family responsibilities, and accompanying patients at all times can bring them great psychological and life stress. Therefore, having a professional nurse take care of the patient can not only reduce the burden on the family, but also ensure that the patient receives better care.
## Improve the management efficiency of hospitals
Finally, restricting the presence of family members can also help improve the efficiency of hospital management. Various resources need to be coordinated within the hospital, including doctors, nurses, treatment equipment, etc., to meet the needs of patients. If family members enter the ward at any time, it will increase the complexity of hospital management, which can lead to uneven and chaotic resource allocation. Therefore, limiting the presence of family members can ensure the normal operation and efficient management of the hospital.
## Conclusion
Although some people have objected to the hospital's practice of restricting family care, on the whole, it is out of consideration for the rational allocation of medical resources, the safety and comfort of patients, and the psychological burden of family members. At the same time, the professional care services of nurses can also improve the recovery of patients. With the progress and reform of the medical industry, I believe that in the future, we will see the emergence of more companionship models suitable for family participation, so that patients and their families can receive better care and support.
