How tired is the pediatrician? Why don't most doctors want to be pediatricians?

Because pediatricians can easily have disputes with parents, after all, parents will be very concerned about their children's injections or other aspects. Parents may lose their temper if the needle is not inserted. Moreover, pediatrics is so noisy that many people feel that their ears can't stand it if they stay for a long time.

The profession of doctor is very popular in the eyes of many people, and many parents encourage their children to apply for medical majors in order to become doctors in big hospitals in the future. Although many people are equally crowded in the profession of doctor, most medical students are unwilling to be pediatricians. Why?

According to statistics, there has always been a shortage of pediatricians in China. Basically, every 0.43 pediatricians need to treat 1000 children. It can be seen that there is a big gap in pediatricians in China, but there is a reason for this gap. It is precisely because of the big gap between pediatricians that every pediatrician has to see many children every day.

When pediatricians in most first-and second-tier cities are busiest, basically a hospital needs to treat 4000 children every day. Assuming that each patient is treated for five minutes, every doctor is too busy even if he works overtime, and insists on such high-intensity work for a long time, most pediatricians feel overwhelmed, so many pediatricians who are not in good health retreat to the second line, thus forming an endless cycle.

In addition, due to the one-child policy in the past, parents pay special attention to and care about the health problems of the next generation. If children's health deteriorates in the hands of pediatricians, many parents will indiscriminately blame all the problems on pediatricians, so pediatrics is also the department with the highest incidence of medical disputes, which will inevitably make pediatricians who try their best to save lives and even discourage later pediatric students, thus making the gap of pediatricians in China increasingly large.
