    LONDON July 12 news: Summer heat, pediatric "fever"! In just the past two weeks, Shanghai three pediatric hospitals have been hit like "build homes historically highest single-day outpatient": July 1, Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Children's Medical Center, outpatient breakthrough 5800 single-day trips; also this day, Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Children's Hospital, outpatient breakthrough 5300 single-day trips; followed by not a few days, also appeared Hospital of Fudan University Clinic overflowing, single-day outpatient jumped to over 8000 people.
      
    Recent data show that Shanghai comprehensive outpatient highest single-day three hospitals but 10,000 people, and now, the hospital's outpatient pediatric class integrated large hospitals have been approaching. Why pediatric hospital teams getting longer?
      
    3:00 to the hospital to "hang number"
      
    Outpatient hall huge cartoon balloon suspended originally doctor to ease the tension in children, but now, these kind of hospital pediatric humanized design Dunxing disappear. Recently, a viewfinder at Fudan University Children's Hospital outpatient hall photo by heat transfer, plug by address him: "pediatric hospital outpatient queuing comparable to the Expo." Data show that the hospital outpatients have continued to rise for two consecutive weeks, daily outpatient more than 5,000 people from the past jumped to more than 8,000 people.
      
    Another two pediatric hospitals for treatment class size the same. In the Shanghai Children's Medical Center since July Party office staff to work first thing in the day on the microblogging send information registered is full department. Reporter retrieve past week microblogging found that daily 8:30, most of the department a "registration is full." Hospital officials told reporters that doctors see every day, 100, or even 200 patients, the emergency department at night most likely depend Patient No. 800-1000. "Some parents have to put up numbers only three or four o'clock to the emergency room."
      
    July is the children "see schedule."
      
    According to Shanghai several classes provided by the hospital pediatric data, in fact, the amount of pediatric emergency door in the annual rate of about 20% rise, while the summer will be the peak season of the year visits. This is due to high temperatures in summer high incidence of disease. Children's Hospital emergency department director Zhang Guoqin introduction, some families use of air conditioning temperature is too low, a children's resistance is weak, vulnerable to virus attacks, resulting in fever, colds, diarrhea and other medical cases increases. In addition, since apricot days air pollution, mold growth cause infection in children less. Moreover, children's summer holiday at home, but also a substantial increase in accidental injuries, including bruises, fractures, drowning, burns, swallowed foreign bodies.
      
    Children remove these traditional "summer" disease, the hospital noted that July is becoming a children's "medical schedule," and concentrate on July 1 after two weeks. Reporter yesterday learned from several pediatric hospital category, daily outpatient these days has started to fall back to 3800-4500 trips. "This is because many children on weekdays tension schoolwork, parents can choose to see a doctor in the summer, every summer, the hospital a half children are nearsighted vision correction, obesity, metabolic syndrome, anorexia, hyperactivity, etc., that need rehabilitation after surgery also came in this period, and concentrated in the first week of July. "Children's Medical Center officials told reporters.
      
    "Contingency plan" incomprehensible fear for the long-term
      
    Children's Hospital Medical Center is designed to build on outpatients is 800 people, and now exceed 5,000 daily outpatient attendances forcing hospitals operate at full capacity. Yesterday, 13:00, surgical director of the hospital two either noodles hastily rushed down belly went back to work. In order to cope with large passenger flow, the hospital registration window to open, early registration time and night-time outpatient registration until 21:00 ...... "This means that a doctor may want to see 22:00, 11:00, at the same time, laboratory , radiology, pharmacy and other ancillary departments also have to open late into the night, and the next morning, it might be the same number of medical personnel have to go back to work. "hospital officials told reporters, and now every summer classes each pediatric hospital will start the "contingency plan", but the problem is that pediatric health care in particular, is a pediatrician in the long-term shortage of state - "clinic was more open, not a doctor, how can pediatric fever?"
      
    Hospital insiders told reporters, doctors and hospital pediatric registration is difficult calculation method for the preparation of quantity. Hospital doctors were based on the number of beds in proportion to invest, rather than outpatient ratio. In Shanghai, a pediatric hospital, for example, when the hospital opened more than 500 authorized beds, more than 200 doctors, the results annually thereafter outpatient climb. Because the number of beds unchanged compared to the number of doctors clinics passenger obviously stretched. Moreover, in preparing the doctors could not fully in line positions, teaching and research in these three general hospitals, some doctors devoted to research, or to go out training, medical assistance or the countryside.
      
    Over the years, pediatric atrophy is an indisputable fact. By pediatricians low income, high risk and other factors, three general hospitals in Shanghai in pediatric almost hide, which means the city's children "Toutengnaore" fell into several major pediatric hospital.
      
    "Even if there are contingency plans, our hearts are still disturbed, the doctor is difficult to ensure high-load operation will not have medical errors." Person in charge of a pediatric hospital told reporters. Considering this background, even if there is no amount of contingency plans, I'm afraid pediatric hospital team still getting longer every year.
