Recently, a shocking incident occurred in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea.
A 2-year-old and 9-month-old girl drowned, and her family rushed her to the hospital for treatment.
Unfortunately, however, the girl passed away after going through many hospitals and finally failed to receive timely and effective treatment. The occurrence of this tragedy has received wide attention from major media in South Korea.
It is understood that the girl suffered cardiac arrest when she was rescued from drowning.
The girl's heartbeat returned to normal after being rushed to a local hospital for treatment, but the hospital considered it necessary to transfer her to a major hospital for emergency surgery.
The first hospital he was sent to refused to be admitted due to lack of staff, and then he was sent to the second hospital, but he suffered the same fate.
The family ran around with the child in an anxious manner, but in the end it failed to change the girl's fate.
Root Cause
Behind the incident was the mass resignation of South Korean interns and residents over opposition to the expansion of medical school enrollment.
Since 19 February, the ongoing strike has left several major health centers strained, struggling to function, and the emergency system on the brink of collapse.
The doctors' collective strike has put even more pressure on an already busy hospital.
Many hospitals have had to reduce the number of patients they accept to cope with the shortage of staff. As a result, the road to medical treatment becomes more difficult and lengthy for patients who are in dire need of treatment.
This tragedy has aroused widespread attention from all walks of life, and netizens have expressed their opinions and feelings in the comment area.
It's not surprising to see that it's Korean, in fact, it's not strange to see anything in Korea
It is impossible for so many medical workers to risk their lives to go to Wuhan during the epidemic
It's magical, there are no children in the school, and there are no beds in the pediatric department of the hospital
Alas, even if it's a strike, you should save someone when you see someone in danger... It's embarrassing
Yesterday, I saw the national professional registration popularity, clinical medicine ranked first, indeed you don't do it, some people do it, a little surprised, I thought the first place was a computer
I think I am the luckiest to be born in China
Strikes are strikes...... I feel that the social atmosphere in South Korea is really terrible and indifferent
It's outrageous, it's the ordinary people who are in this miserable situation
It's going to be a big ugly one
On the one hand, there is no life in South Korea, and on the other hand, there is no hospital to treat it, which is a perfect match
I want to say
A country's medical system is not only a matter for doctors and hospitals, it is a major event related to the safety of everyone's life.
We need a stable and efficient healthcare system to ensure that we can receive timely treatment in the event of an emergency.
