와이카토 병원의 응급실에서 16시간을 기다렸지만 GP에 다시 의뢰되었다고 말하는 여성

Share:

와이카토 병원의 응급실 (ED) 에서는 아주 아파도 의사를 만나기 위해 사람들이 한참을 기다리고 있습니다.한 여성이 내부 출혈이 의심되어 16시간 넘게 기다렸지만 의사에게 다시 가라는 말을 들었습니다.그녀는 휠체어를 탄 한 노인이 심한 통증과 쇼크에 시달리는 모습을 묘사했습니다.대기실에 있던 다른 환자들이 그가 편안하게 지낼 수 있도록 도와주었습니다.그는 이른 아침에 심장마비를 겪었고 도움을 받기 위해 한참을 기다렸습니다.

보행자가 차에 치인 또 다른 환자는 초음파 검사를 받기 위해 약 12시간을 기다렸습니다.어떤 사람들은 대기실로 이송되기 전에 구급차에서 90분을 보냈습니다.보통 환자들은 의사를 만나는데 7시간 정도 걸린다는 말을 듣지만, 많은 환자들은 결국 27시간 정도를 기다리게 됩니다.

한 소식통에 따르면 많은 환자들이 가정의의 진찰을 받을 수 없거나 치료를 받을 여유가 없어 응급실에 내원하고 있다고 합니다.와이카토 응급실은 경험이 풍부한 간호사를 잃고 오래된 IT 시스템을 사용하는 것과 같은 문제에 직면해 있습니다.사용할 수 있는 병상이 충분하지 않아 적체 현상이 발생하고 있습니다.환자들은 때때로 병동에 들어가지 않고 응급실 병상에서 48시간을 기다려야 하기 때문에 많은 환자들에게 몇 명의 간호사만 남게 됩니다.이러한 상황으로 인해 직원들은 매우 스트레스를 받고 좌절하게 됩니다.

봉급 의료 전문가 협회의 사라 달튼 (Sarah Dalton) 은 응급실 및 기타 병원 구역의 인력 부족이 심각하여 대기 시간이 길어지고 있다고 지적했습니다.그녀는 보건 지도자들이 환자 치료보다 예산에 더 초점을 맞추고 있다는 우려를 표명했습니다.

셰인 레티 (Shane Reti) 보건부 장관은 응급실에서 특히 겨울철에 긴 대기 시간이 흔하다고 인정했습니다.그는 환자의 95% 를 6시간 이내에 치료한다는 목표를 세웠습니다.그는 조만간 와이카토 병원을 방문하여 직원들과 그들의 문제에 대해 이야기할 계획입니다.뉴질랜드 보건부의 미셸 서덜랜드 (Michelle Sutherland) 씨는 최근 추가 수요는 없었지만, 급하지 않은 경우에는 바쁜 시간대에 대기 시간이 길어질 수 있다고 말했습니다.그녀는 위급하지 않은 환자들은 담당 GP 또는 근무 시간 외 의료 서비스 제공자에게 진료를 받으라고 조언했습니다.
