Last update date: 2020-07-24 17:18Since the third wave of the new crown pneumonia outbreak, the public has been worried about being invisible and flocked to private hospitals and private doctors for testing. The supply of services exceeds demand. The family doctor Guan Jiamei said that the sample bottle she had requested from the Department of Health had been sold out for a week, and the replenishment date was indefinite. However, it is very common to waste sample bottles. Only 30% of adults were given sample bottles and handed them to the Department of Health. About 60% of the patients "missed with bottles". She believes that the public "does not respect or appreciate the free (test)."

Family doctor Guan Jiamei said that her sample bottle of the Department of Health has been sold for a week, and the replenishment is still indefinite. To avoid rejecting the patient's test, she took bottles from a private laboratory she knew well, and then submitted them to the Department of Health for testing. She said that she would send bottles to all patients who had symptoms of the disease, and carefully taught them to "vomit deep throat and phlegm, not ordinary saliva, but salty and salty", and introduced the most convenient location for bottle delivery. However, the patient "does not respect or appreciate seeing it for free." According to her clinical experience, only 30 adults were given sample bottles and handed them to the Department of Health.
I feel no problem after taking the medicine twice.
There are many cases of wasting sample bottles, which makes Guan Jiamei feel sorry. About 60% of the patients "disappeared with a bottle", she waited for days after sending the bottle, but finally did not receive a laboratory report from the Department of Health. "Sometimes after seeing the doctor, he feels that he has nothing to do after taking the medicine twice, so he takes a bottle and doesn't take the test." In addition, many people will lose the sample bottle and come to the clinic to replenish it; some patients refuse to take the test at first, then change their minds to take the bottle, but think about it and forget it. She sighed, "Our doctors are all based on the heart." I hope everyone can cooperate and hand in samples after receiving the bottle.

The President of the Medical Association, Cai Jian, said that it is common for private doctors to have a "sample bottle vacuum period". A doctor friend sent a sample bottle to the Department of Health and received a supplement six days after obtaining it. The patient could not be tested during the waiting period. The doctor waited six days and was issued with 30 bottles, enough for only one and a half days. Tsai criticized the Department of Health for not providing sufficient basic resources for private doctors. He also pointed out that the Department of Health has a vague definition of people who need to be tested. "If you live on the same floor or in the same building as the confirmed person, you should be tested. If you are in the same housing estate or in the same district, should you help him?" He said a lot. The private doctor felt at a loss.
Yang Chaofa, president of the Western Medical Union, said that he has been sampling the bottles from friendly private laboratories and has not encountered a shortage. He said that about 60% of patients with related symptoms are willing to be tested, and the remaining 30% "do not know whether they will be diagnosed later." Many doctors and friends around him still refuse to be tested, and they are still worried that the visit of the confirmed person will damage the reputation of the clinic.
