When we feel a little uncomfortable, the first thing that comes to mind is to look for the reasons for similar situations through Baidu search. By comparing these reasons, we simply draw the conclusion of our physical condition and go to the pharmacy to grab medicine for treatment.
This does not mean that residents have poor medical awareness. On the contrary, through the continuous network search and fragmented information dissemination from the media, it can be said that most people in China have a very high awareness of the concept of health, but we often lack professional detection methods, and our judgment is easily interfered by information sources, which leads to people who are not sick taking medicine indiscriminately, and those who are sick do not pay attention to it, which eventually leads to bitter results.
Let's talk about the social factors that many people don't want to see a doctor. This is mainly because the price of medical system in China is relatively high. This high price does not simply mean high medical expenses, but refers to the high proportion of medical expenses in per capita income, which makes low-income groups afraid to go to the hospital to see a doctor.
The reason of high medical expenses is that China has a large population and rich social resources. Due to the large population, the average medical resources enjoyed by everyone are not much, and the market supply is less than the actual demand, which will inevitably lead to the increase of the cost of disease treatment in the economic system.
Highly abundant medical resources refer to large-scale high-quality hospitals, which are mainly concentrated in first-and second-tier cities, third-and fourth-tier cities and rural areas. This unbalanced development leads people in backward areas to choose to go to big cities for medical treatment after major diseases, and a large number of patients flood in, which leads to the contradiction of uneven distribution of medical resources. Hospitals in small places are difficult to develop, and hospitals in big places are overcrowded. This uneven distribution has greatly increased the medical cost. However, hospitals in small places are unable to introduce more advanced equipment and train excellent doctors because of their low overall income, so the treatment level is also uneven. This makes many people have low trust in these hospitals, but they are willing to spend more money to go to bigger hospitals for treatment.
Let's talk about the influence of traditional ideas on China's medical system. In China, it has become a common problem for almost everyone, and it has been like this since ancient times.
Everyone must have learned the classical Chinese "Bian Que meets Cai Huangong", but a monarch can't avoid such a situation, let alone ordinary people. This concept has been passed down in China for thousands of years and has been branded in our cultural system.
Therefore, many people in China don't like to go to the hospital for medical treatment after they are in good health, and they are also very afraid that others will say that they are sick. Most people rarely have physical examinations in their lives. When they encounter physical conditions, they trust their own judgment, so they will choose to diagnose their diseases through Baidu and other means.
However, in many cases, due to the lack of regular physical examination, we can't find out our physical changes in time, which leads to some minor diseases becoming serious diseases after a long period of development, while some serious diseases are not paid attention to in the early stage and it is difficult to get treatment in the later stage.
Because this minor illness drags on to a serious illness, and the serious illness drags on to the late stage, many people are faced with the choice of life and death when they go to the hospital to see a doctor. If they want to live, they must be treated by advanced medical means, but treating a serious illness requires more money, which makes many people flinch. It is the traditional concept that leads more and more people to start not believing that they are sick, but when they are confirmed to be sick, there is no way to cure them and they can only struggle painfully.
