With the development of economic and medical science, family doctors and general practitioners , who were previously only seen in American dramas, have also begun to appear in the lives of Chinese people. Professional medical knowledge and gentle service are everyone’s expectations for family doctors. However, are family doctors really doctors who come to your home to see a doctor on call? The answer is obviously no, which is related to people's understanding deviation and transmission deviation.
In fact, family doctors in China mainly provide basic medical and public health services, combining prevention and treatment, such as "monitoring chronic patients", "sending health management information", "receiving consultation", "arranging doctors in key hospitals to take turns to take care of medical treatment", etc. are all the work areas of family doctors. The general medical services provided by family doctors should be provided with outpatient treatment "as necessary" if they are required.
The "must" mentioned here is the key, and "depending on the situation" is the key to determining whether to provide outpatient treatment. The simplest example is to encounter patients who are bedridden and unable to reach the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. We must objectively understand the benefits and disadvantages of going to outpatient treatment.
"Outpatient treatment" depends on the situation and can provide home-to-door services if needed, but at the same time, people must also know that the premise of going to outpatient treatment is that the patient has practical difficulties that cannot be overcome. General practitioners provide medical diagnosis and treatment, not one-on-one convenient services, which is also the basic respect for general practitioners.
Many general practitioners received requests for outpatient treatment. One doctor and one nurse walked through the streets and alleys in the old alley. Finally, they found that they just asked the doctor and nurse to come to him to measure blood pressure , and the patient could walk and move without any difficulty in moving. This is the same nature as calling the police 110 to say that the door lock of your home is broken, and it is wasting the energy and time of the medical staff.
Change the angle. If the patient waiting in the outpatient clinic knows that among the few general practitioners, two medical staff have gone to take blood pressure or apply acupuncture for a resident who can move, and even other patients have to wait for a prolonged period. Will they also feel that the arrangement is inappropriate? On the surface, it seems that the time of medical staff is simply wasting the time of medical staff, but if you think about it carefully, is it wasting the precious time of the patients? Wouldn’t it be better to use this time to help more patients in the outpatient clinic?
In addition, outpatient treatment only seems convenient on the surface, but compared with outpatient treatment, it has great limitations, especially for some invasive treatments. Unless it is necessary, it is recommended to implement them in a medical environment.
Because many diagnosis and treatment operations require more equipment and medical tools to cooperate, if other accidents occur during the diagnosis and treatment, relevant treatment and first aid can be provided.
The current deviation in family doctors' understanding is believed to be greatly improved with the continuous improvement of the domestic medical system and infrastructure. The medical tasks, service scope and unique role that professional general practitioners can undertake must be points that other medical institutions cannot achieve, and it is also beneficial to grassroots and community people. The public's understanding and cooperation with general practitioners will gradually improve. After all, the more things that are beneficial to everyone are better.
