Seeing that the doctors and friends in the circle of friends are forwarding: Liu Jin responds to the extreme incident of medical students: You must accept such a work intensity!, I asked chatGPT to sort it out:
The issue of long working hours has been a matter of concern. Liu Jin pointed out that compared with the 120 hours per week in the United States 35 years ago, the United States now stipulates no more than 80 hours per week, and has at least one day of continuous 24-hour rest, with an average of 11 hours a day. In his opinion, although there is no clear regulation on the mainland, the situation of working 36 hours in a row should not occur. He stressed that the work intensity of regular trainees is a common problem faced by doctors around the world, but institutional safeguards are needed to avoid excessive fatigue. Working hours can be an unavoidable problem for doctors around the world. For example, if the doctor is on the operating table, if the operation is not completed and the time is over, will the patient and their family agree to the doctor doing so?
Liu Jin has reservations about the call for reducing the training time. He believes that regular trainees can fully understand the disease through rotation, reduce misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, and if the time is shortened, it may lead to incomplete training. He also mentioned that the subsidy for trainees is roughly close to the average social wage in the city, and that hospitals are also trying to provide support.
Liu Jin also pointed out the pressures and challenges faced by trainees, such as medical record writing and ward rounds, which are necessary clinical skills training. He emphasized that regular trainees should be regarded as an important part of the learning process, rather than simply doing chores.
In response to the suicide of Gui Peisheng, Liu Jin expressed his deep sorrow and called on all sectors of society, the government and medical institutions to take active measures to care for and protect the physical and mental health of young doctors. He suggested that the age of routine physical examination should be carried out in advance, and psychological counseling and training should be strengthened to improve safety awareness.
Liu Jin believes that the training system still needs to be improved, and put forward several suggestions: the state finance should bear more training costs, large hospitals should pay attention to education and training, improve teachers' sense of responsibility and skills in education, and residents should be psychologically prepared and capable. He stressed that it is necessary to improve the standards of the training base and ensure implementation, although it will take time.
Finally, Liu Jin reviewed the original intention of the training system, which is to improve the quality of medical services and train qualified doctors to serve the public. He pointed out that although the regular training system has only been in China for ten years, it has significantly improved the structure of the physician team and alleviated the shortage of doctors at the grassroots level. He compared the differences in doctor training between China and the United States, and looked forward to the future development of the training system. At the same time, he warned the industry to pay attention to the mental health of trainees, ensure that the original intention of the training system is not forgotten, and continue to work hard to improve the quality of the medical industry and train excellent doctors.
