When it is difficult for people to see a doctor, they can't help but sigh, since the medical resources are not enough, why not build more hospitals?
This is normal. In order to see a doctor, it takes two hours to drive on the road and queue for three hours, and it only takes five minutes to see a doctor. If these saved labor forces were used in production, wouldn't it greatly improve production efficiency? However, the difficulty of seeing a doctor will continue forever, and it cannot be changed by one or two people. So, why not change?
The hospital is not a public welfare unit, but a capital investment to build. The purpose of the hospital is not to save lives, but to make money. Otherwise, a beggar who goes to the hospital to see a doctor will definitely be blasted out by the security guards. Because beggars have no money, it is impossible to afford medical expenses, and hospitals cannot provide free treatment to beggars. In this way, the hospital becomes a profit-making unit, just to make money, but not necessarily to save people money, and not necessarily to work hard for people to recover. Many hospitals have the problem of over-medical treatment, which can explain the purpose of the hospital. Obviously, after the acceleration of urbanization, many people have entered the city, but the medical resources are not enough. People have difficulty seeing a doctor, so they usually wait in line, and when they actually see the doctor, it only takes a few minutes to see the doctor. The doctor is very helpless, there are a lot of people in line, if a patient looks for half an hour, those in line will not be able to finish reading, and can only be postponed to the next day, and the next day will make many people dissatisfied. People spend a lot of money in order to see a doctor, and before they see a doctor, they have already spent fares, meals, and lost work expenses, and after seeing a doctor, if they just take some medicine, it will not delay too much time, but if they are hospitalized, they will delay a lot of time.
It's just that you have to queue up to get the medicine, and you can't take it right away, just leave immediately. Hospitalization is even more important, and it is not possible to perform surgery immediately or adapt to other treatment options, and it is necessary to wait for the specialist to come up with a treatment plan before diagnosis and treatment. As a result, the treatment routine of some hospitals is more consistent, that is, when overcrowded, try to make the condition as mild as possible, let the patient take medicine home, take medicine for observation, and have regular reexamination; when the hospital bed is loose, the doctor will exaggerate the patient's condition and induce the patient to be hospitalized for observation and treatment. As a result, hospital beds will be maximized, but they will still not be enough. Of course, some of the most skilled hospitals have not had enough beds, and some of the most mediocre or poor hospital beds are always empty. The lack of medical resources is not that there are no medical resources, but that there are not enough high-quality medical resources. There are many hospitals in large cities with a population of more than one million, and they are divided into different types, from one hospital to dozens of hospitals, and they are ranked in order, with different functions and specializations. When people get sick, they will choose hospitals, but there are still some people who think that high-quality medical resources are concentrated in a few hospitals, and they have to go to those hospitals to see a doctor, not other hospitals. If you go to another hospital, you will spend money to see a bad doctor.
It can only be said that high-quality medical resources need to be evenly distributed, and people need to be given certain convenient conditions for seeing a doctor, rather than concentrating on one or two hospitals and making people rush to them. This situation is related to the allocation of medical resources, as well as management, learning, and scientific research, which is a systematic project, which cannot be solved by building a few more hospitals. Even if a few more hospitals are built, it may not solve the problem of excessive concentration of medical resources. Just as high-quality educational resources are concentrated in cities, even if more schools are built in rural areas, the problem of uneven distribution of educational resources will still not be solved. Medical resources are concentrated in a few hospitals in big cities, just to serve the powerful people in big cities. If this hospital is relocated to the countryside, it will bring back the economy, but the rural people have relatively little medical consumption, and they will not go to the big hospital when they are sick, but to see a doctor in a small clinic. If you have money, you can go up one level at a time and go to the big hospital in the provincial capital, even if you reach the top, there is no need to go to the big hospital in the capital to see a doctor. As a result, large hospitals with high-quality medical resources can only be built in cities to provide services to the elite. If people from rural areas come here to see a doctor, the hospital will not refuse to come. Of course, if there are more people going to the doctor, it will cause a run on medical care. Some hospitals actually have scalpers reselling registered bills, and some hospitals can queue for a month to see a doctor, while some hospitals are not cared for. The same is true for building more hospitals, which will not change the status quo.
In order to change the problem of uneven distribution of medical resources, it is necessary to let medical experts and scholars lead students to teach a set of methods for studying, scientific research, diagnosis, and treatment, and to blossom everywhere, rather than just being closed and conservative and avoiding leakage. Many medical students will learn a lot of medical skills after studying with their instructors, and if they go to the hospital for a period of time to exercise, they will have practical experience and will continue to improve. Of course, the doctors in the hospital must continue to study, continue to learn, and even engage in scientific research, otherwise they will not be able to adapt to the market demand. After all, people don't eat and drink very purely, and they get more and more strange diseases, and if they don't have deep knowledge and experience, they can't diagnose these diseases, and they can't prescribe the right medicine. It is not difficult to invest capital to build a few hospitals, but the difficulty is that if the construction is done without patients, there will be huge losses. Capital will adapt to market demand, not blindly build.
Some hospitals with excellent medical skills have opened branches, which can be regarded as blooming everywhere, but there are still many people in the headquarters and few people in the branches. The headquarters will not divide the elite forces, but will stay at the headquarters and continue to recruit patients. If the elite force is separated, it will not be able to open up the local market, and the headquarters will lose talent and patients will become scarce, so it will lose its competitiveness and be taken advantage of by other hospitals, and the gains outweigh the losses. Hospitals have their own considerations, and they do not make their own decisions, do not make blind decisions, and do not disperse high-quality medical resources. In this way, high-quality medical resources adapt to market demand and continue to be concentrated, which will of course cause the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor. There is also the problem of the high cost of medical treatment, which is really difficult to explain.
Is it a market-oriented behavior that high-quality medical resources are not enough to be used by ordinary medical resources, but not many people use them? However, building a few more hospitals still cannot solve the problem of excessive concentration of high-quality medical resources, and it is necessary to take into account the overall consideration, rationally coordinate high-quality medical resources, and at the same time improve the level of medical technology, so as to eliminate regional differences in medical resources and truly solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment.
