Recently, some nucleic acid sampling houses in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province have been transformed into "fever diagnosis and treatment stations", where residents can receive preliminary diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and complete dispensing of medicines at their doorsteps.
Netizens praised it one after another: it is worth promoting.
(Jimu News, December 18)
In the previous stage of the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control process, nucleic acid testing has become an important part of the epidemic prevention and control across the country. There are nucleic acid sampling houses.
With the optimization and adjustment of the national epidemic prevention and control policy, the temperature of nucleic acid testing dropped overnight, and some simple nucleic acid sampling sites were withdrawn. However, other relatively solid nucleic acid sampling houses were retained for various reasons. .
When many people thought that these nucleic acid sampling houses would be dismantled sooner or later, they did not expect that in Suzhou, Jiangsu, these nucleic acid sampling houses that had been idle would turn into "fever clinics" for treating fever patients.
Compared with dismantling the nucleic acid testing kiosk, it saves trouble but leads to waste of resources to a certain extent, while the nucleic acid testing kiosk has been transformed into a "fever diagnosis and treatment station", which optimizes the use of resources and saves social costs.
More importantly, the convenience and safety of the "fever clinic station" is such that, for example, medical insurance cards or electronic medical insurance can be used for dispensing medicines, and the clinic station also allows residents to "see a doctor" for their family members.
When the nucleic acid sampling house has completed its original mission and turned into a "fever diagnosis and treatment station", it can be said to serve multiple purposes and has important practical significance.
One of the important reasons why the country has optimized and adjusted the epidemic prevention and control policy is that the toxicity of the new crown pneumonia virus has been greatly reduced, but the infectivity is still very strong.
Under such circumstances, more and more people have become "positive" due to infection with the virus, which has almost become a necessity in the process of epidemic prevention and control.
In addition to asymptomatic infections, the vast majority of "positive people" have symptoms similar to flu, including fever, headache, dry throat and so on.
Although there are constant calls from experts, after symptoms appear and you suspect that you are infected with new coronary pneumonia, as long as the symptoms are not very serious, you can treat them at home and take your own medicine.
But for many people, they still feel that going to the hospital to see a doctor or seeking help from professionals is more reassuring.
This makes it difficult to avoid overcrowding of fever clinics in hospitals.
In this case, these "fever clinics" that have been "transformed" from the original nucleic acid sampling points have shown their important role——
First of all, if any nearby citizens have a fever and other related symptoms, they can complete the relevant diagnosis, treatment and dispensing work at the "fever clinic station" in front of the house by general practitioners and pharmacy nurses without going to the hospital. In order to seek medical advice at home, instead of going to the hospital, the convenience of seeing a doctor is greatly improved.
Secondly, during the critical period of epidemic prevention and control, especially under the premise that the virus is still highly contagious, residents with fever and other related symptoms can receive diagnosis and treatment at their doorstep, which means that they no longer need to take the bus, or It is to take an online car-hailing car, a taxi, etc. to go to the hospital, so as to avoid infecting more people with the virus on the road, which is actually contributing to the prevention and control of the epidemic.
Finally, with the increasing number of patients with related symptoms, the fever and respiratory outpatient clinics in many hospitals are overcrowded. At the same time, medical staff in some hospitals also have symptoms of infection and have to go home to rest.
In this case, there will be a shortage of medical staff and a shortage of medical resources.
If more citizens can receive diagnosis and treatment and dispensing medicine at the "fever clinic" at the door of their homes after they develop relevant symptoms, they will avoid going to the hospital again, which can effectively alleviate the shortage of medical staff and the shortage of medical resources in the hospital. , At the same time, it also prevents the virus from spreading in a wider range.
At present, there are still many such nucleic acid sampling points across the country. We hope that more cities can turn them into "fever diagnosis and treatment stations" according to their actual conditions.
