Why are there fewer and fewer pediatricians now?

Because pediatricians are too tired, fewer and fewer people are studying pediatrics, and pediatricians are becoming increasingly rare.

There are many departments in hospitals, and there are many people studying medicine in universities now, but the number of doctors in pediatric clinics is slowly decreasing. Some pediatricians from public hospitals began to work in private hospitals, and some directly resigned and switched to other jobs. So why? When it comes to which department in the hospital is the busiest, it is undoubtedly the pediatric clinic. Even late at night, the pediatric clinic is brightly lit. There are so many patients who often live in the corridors that there are no extra wards to accommodate children.

Children are not like adults, and their immunity is poor. Although some diseases will be fine if they are carried by adults in a few days, if they happen to children, they will become very serious. The most common thing in pediatrics is children's cold and fever. Children's fever is not like that of adults, as long as they sweat, they will be fine. Fever in young children will go through a process. Generally speaking, children will have a fever for two or three days, and after the fever, they will develop cough and more serious bacterial infections.

Parents cannot monitor these at home and must go to the hospital for blood tests. The increase in the number of children visiting the hospital often makes pediatric nurses, let alone doctors, busy. Some doctors can see hundreds of children a day when they are busy, and they don't even have time to eat. Nowadays, many patients say that doctors have a bad attitude. In fact, this is because doctors have limited consultation time. They cannot spend too much time treating one patient, otherwise it will delay the time of the next patient.

This is also the reason why there are so few pediatricians now.
