Why do many medical students are unwilling to be pediatricians?

For doctors in children's hospitals, spending time to communicate with parents every day is almost as much as you see a doctor. However, because of their existence, parents can be less anxious and more assured.

Liu Rong, a ductal doctor in the baby ward, a second -child quasi -mother. Every day, she is facing a novice parent who has no fineness to children and dioscles, and the sick babies who only use crying emotions. Fortunately, when she returned to the office, she could get a trace of comfort in each other with her colleagues.

Qi Lin, director of neurosurgery, received a 6 -year -old child with a child with a 6 -year -old child. Ya Xuan. The patient's encouragement solves this problem.

Cheng Wenzhe is the only male doctor in the intensive care unit (foreign supervisor). He came to this department in the context where there were no men's toilets in the foreign supervisor.

Being an excellent pediatrician is his career ideal, but if you want to be a good doctor, good communication skills are also necessary skills. This time, the foreign supervisor received a newborn baby who was born shortly after birth. Dad complained that the hospital had delayed the condition. Cheng Wenzhe actively medals from it to resolve the contradictions. improvement……

As the place where the elephant is out, the pediatrician is one of the guardians of the child's health.

But in addition to the simple "likes" of pediatricians, we also call on everyone to pay more attention to the situation of Chinese pediatricians--

"2018 China Health and Health Statistical Yearbook" data shows that there are only 0.63 pediatricians per thousand children in China [1].

According to a study published in the Pediatric Department of Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, this data shows that this data is lower: China has 13,5524 pediatricians, and each thousand children have 0.4 pediatricians. The study also showed a data that was often ignored: the leave rate of pediatricians reached 12.6%[2].

In developed countries such as the United States, each thousand children have 1.9 pediatricians [2].

Why are there so few pediatricians and a high resignation rate?

Ni Xin, the dean of Beijing Children's Hospital, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency: "Pediatrician's diagnosis and treatment major is difficult, and the proportion of doctors and patients is high; in addition, the work pressure is large, income and incompetence, and lack of security. Reason. "[3]

The survey shows that only 17.77%of the medium -month income of Chinese pediatricians accounted for more than 10,000 yuan, and most pediatricians have a weekly rest day or endless day of rest. Work overtime is also normal [1,3]. This income has a significant gap compared with doctors in other departments. Therefore, there is a smooth explanation in the industry: "Gold Eye and Silver Surgery, exhausting the obstetrics and gynecology department, and not worthy of pediatrics."

Pediatrics are also the hardest hit areas for doctors and patients. When the child is sick, the parents of the parents are unavoidable. When they are queuing for a long time, they are more likely to lose their temper, and they may develop into doctors and patients.

The embarrassing situation of pediatricians also causes many problems: the work of the pediatrician overloaded, excellent medical talents are unwilling to engage in pediatric work, and children cannot get high -quality medical resources.

At present, the country is also guiding more medical enters into pediatrics through many tilting policies to improve the treatment of pediatricians. For the public (especially the family members of the patient), during pediatrics, you can be patient to avoid conflicting with pediatricians.

I believe that through everyone's attention and efforts, more people will be engaged in the medical career of pediatrics.

You can also continue to pay attention to "The Place of Elephants". Every Wednesday night at 21:00, it will be updated on time at Tencent Video. There will be more stories in children's hospitals. The Tencent Medical Ceremony will provide you with a popular science content interpretation, let us feel the power of love and growth in the children's hospital.
