Running a doctor is the centralized "realization" of medical resources. At the initial stage of COVID-19 epidemic, there was a rare medical run in Wuhan, and hospitals were "run" by patients with fever, which resulted in insufficient medical resources and paralysis of daily business.
There are so many patients in America, why not have a medical run?
Simply put, seeing a doctor is difficult and expensive.
It is not as easy to see a doctor in the United States as it is in China. You must call your family doctor first, make an appointment with him, make a preliminary diagnosis, then contact a specialist and go to the hospital for examination.
It takes time to make an appointment with a family doctor and time to make an appointment with a specialist. It takes time for a specialist to make an examination, and it also takes time to make an appointment with a specialist after the examination. ...
Some people will say, can't I go to the emergency room? It's not that easy to see the emergency department. The average waiting time for emergency treatment in Europe and America is generally more than 4 hours. Please remember, this is still a real "emergency", which is different from the concept of "I am in a hurry, so I need to hang an emergency" in our country.
Common cold and fever, headache and brain fever, and waiting in line for more than ten hours without seeing a doctor are also common. Even if they see a doctor, they may just be told to go home and drink more water and take some painkillers, so most people have a common cold and would rather rest at home than go to the hospital easily. This is very different from China's national conditions.
It is very expensive to see a doctor in America. Without physical therapy insurance, you can't enter the hospital at all.
"The woman's legs were stuck on the subway platform, crying,' Don't call an ambulance, I can't afford it.' "This is nothing new.
Even if you pay hundreds of dollars of medical insurance every month and reimburse most of it, medical expenses are a heavy burden for most families.
Americans have no habit of saving. Once they get sick, they not only have to pay expensive medical expenses, but also reduce their income, which may even lead to difficulties in life, so most people will not choose to go to the hospital.
Look at the problem from another angle. Pneumonia in COVID-19 is mostly mild and does not require special treatment. At that time, Fangcang Hospital in Wuhan mainly treated these patients. If doctors in the United States encounter such patients, they will probably advise the patients to go home for observation without special treatment, which will also ease the occupation of medical resources.
Therefore, it is not difficult to see a doctor in a hospital in China, because the entry threshold for patients is low, especially considering the large population and high density in China, it is not easy to do this now.
Many years ago, some scholars suggested that it was neither difficult nor expensive to see a doctor in China, which was criticized by the whole network. Now people's horizons are wider and wider, and it is easier and easier to obtain overseas information. Looking back, compared with the rest of the world, patients in China are already very happy.
Welcome to pay attention to Dr. Zheng's addiction, because most people in the United States simply look down on illness. And no medical insurance. If you are sick, you can only wait for death. As we all know, America is full of hype and liars. I have lived in America for many years. As we all know, inferior deception can only deceive those who have no brains.
Why do you have to make an appointment for medical treatment in the United States?
The general media only reports the number of new cases, but not the number of newly cured and discharged cases, which easily gives people the illusion that there will be a medical run.
That's a good question. Looking at the development of the epidemic, we can draw the conclusion that as long as there is no early concealment and suppression, and the medical system will not face sudden collapse, COVID-19 is just a new epidemic, and there is nothing particularly terrible!
China's goal of controlling the epidemic is zero, and its policy is "catch all the receivables", while the United States is not. Hospitals in the United States only accept severe cases and go home for isolation. Imagine what it would be like if China added more than 200,000 people a day. Also, American Bull B is not afraid of death. According to God's arrangement, China is a matter of life.
1987, Deng Gong said that China will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time, and 100 will not waver.
It is 2020, and we have only been gone for 33 years.
Don't compare everything with America! ! !
Many of the United States are privately owned, and many medical institutions serve a small number of people.
China's medical institutions serve most people.
According to the American way of playing, even if the number of COVID-19 infected people in the United States doubles again, the collapse of the medical system will not happen. Anyway, the mildly asymptomatic infected people are not admitted to the hospital, are not isolated, and even have to continue working. For example, medical staff are required to continue working after being infected.
Throughout the COVID-19 epidemic, medical runs have appeared in many countries, including Europe, but this problem is impossible in the United States, because of the sadness under the American medical system!
Prerequisites for the emergence of medical running When the sudden epidemic began to spread rapidly, most people suspected that they had symptoms or were sick and went to the hospital at the first time. In fact, in East Asia and Europe, this is a normal phenomenon, mainly because the coverage of national private medical insurance is wide enough and the medical benefits are relatively sound.
For example, in Europe, Germany, the Netherlands and other developed and rich countries, the most worrying thing at the beginning of the epidemic was the medical run. So at that time, they repeatedly called on people to stay at home and rest, and give more medical resources to those who need it most, that is, critically ill patients. However, during the development of this epidemic, there have indeed been medical runs in many countries.
Under the current medical system in the United States, it is impossible for everyone to go to the hospital for treatment. Even if the epidemic situation in the United States is getting more and more serious this year, the number of confirmed cases has exceeded 6.9 million, and the death toll has reached 365,438+100000. It can be said that it is quite serious, but surprisingly, there has not been a medical run in the United States for only one reason: American medical insurance is too expensive, and many ordinary people look down on the disease.
In America, you will find that quite a few people have no medical insurance. This is not parrot advice. In some American movies, people look down on diseases. In reality, many people are afraid to go to the hospital when they are sick. The medical resources in the United States are seriously unbalanced and have long been tilted towards the middle class and the rich.
The elite and wealthy in the United States monopolize almost all the high-quality medical resources. I still remember that in the early days of the American epidemic, when President Trump was asked why the rich could be diagnosed first and then treated, the president said, "Maybe this is life!" The president's words showed the inequality of the American medical system. Although it is cruel to many people, this is the reality in America.
Many people can't afford high medical expenses, which many people in the outside world can't understand, but it is a characteristic of the United States. Human nature under the capitalist system shows that even if there is no epidemic, one in three adult patients in the United States will give up treatment because they can't afford medical expenses. In Britain, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, the ratio is one in ten.
Here we can refer to the previous set of data. In April, a study published by the American health insurance plan showed that the average cost of intensive care in COVID-19 was more than 30,000 US dollars, while it was about 40,000 US dollars according to the average annual income of the United States in 20 19 years. Most Americans don't have the habit of saving and don't have much cash reserves, so many people can't afford to spend a year's income on treatment.
To sum up: a very important factor for Americans to receive treatment is the money bag. If they can't afford medical treatment, they naturally can't receive treatment. This makes the COVID-19 epidemic in the United States more and more serious, but there will be no medical run. Therefore, during this epidemic, the American people will definitely not realize the "equality" and "greatness" of the United States!
Why not ask the poor why they don't run banks? Because poor Cary has no money! If you have no money, you should stand by yourself even if you are sick! The United States is not China. You can see a doctor for free. If most Americans are hungry and don't work for a week, how will they run the hospital?
