The top three hospitals are usually very busy, so why not recruit more people?

Everyone knows that you have to go to the hospital when you are sick, but there is a phenomenon in our country that is different from that abroad. People like to see a doctor in a large 3A general hospital. Even if it's just a minor illness such as the common cold, they want to find a professor or an expert to see for themselves, so that many top three hospitals are overcrowded, whether they are outpatient or inpatient. Busy work is the biggest feature of medical workers in China, so why don't hospitals recruit more people? I think there are the following reasons:

1. Lack of medical talents

Let's start with the doctor. Now we train a clinician to study for five years and train for three years after graduation, until he can manage patients independently for at least seven years. This does not guarantee that you can work in a third-class hospital, because a third-class hospital needs a master's degree or above to recruit clinicians. This kind of talent is even scarcer. After graduation, medical students all aspire to work in top-three hospitals, which leads to some grass-roots hospitals unable to recruit people, and it is difficult for top-three hospitals to recruit qualified talents. For nurses, first of all, the qualification of the top three hospitals requires at least a bachelor's degree or above. At the same time, because nurses are more inclined to skill operation, the selection of top-three hospitals will be stricter and there are not many qualified nurses, so many nurses can't get in.

2. Increased personnel mobility

I often hear the complaints of the director of the hospital nursing department: young people nowadays are too delicate and easy to resign. Working in a hospital is not only long, intense, but also risky. A little carelessness may lead to medical disputes. It may be common for patients to complain and head nurses to scold them. If the psychological stress resistance is low, it may be unbearable. Therefore, many people will choose to give up this industry, or choose to go to other relatively relaxed units, which is one of the reasons why the top three hospitals are understaffed.

3. All departments need to control labor costs.

Speaking of a very realistic problem, in the case of relatively insufficient national medical investment, in fact, every clinical department of the hospital is responsible for the income of the medical staff in the department. Under the condition that the total income of the department remains unchanged, the personal income will naturally decrease when the number of department personnel increases. Therefore, in order to ensure the income of staff, many department directors will control the number of medical staff in their departments and achieve the minimum bed care ratio required by superiors. This is one of the reasons why many clinical departments would rather be busy than recruit people.

To sum up, the busyness of the top three hospitals is caused by many reasons, which lead to the inability of hospitals to recruit a large number of medical staff. Judging from the workload and work risk, the income of medical staff in China is not high. In order to provide better medical services for patients, increasing the income of medical staff is one of the ways to solve the problem.
