一位經(jīng)常出入夜總會(huì)的女子晚上出去弄壞了指甲,于是她來到急診室,希望醫(yī)生能把指甲粘好。

Officials at Poole Hospital and Royal Bournemouth Hospital in Dorset have revealed the bizarre case as part of a campaign to stop time wasters.

多塞特市普爾醫(yī)院和皇家伯恩茅斯醫(yī)院的管理人員正在開展一項(xiàng)讓人們不要浪費(fèi)急診醫(yī)生時(shí)間的宣傳活動(dòng),他們在活動(dòng)中給大家講了這個(gè)案例。

還有一位“病人”來到急救室,只因?yàn)?ldquo;他們晚上在家睡不好覺”。一些被紙割傷、患上感冒潰瘡、喉嚨疼、輕微曬傷的人也會(huì)到醫(yī)院尋求醫(yī)學(xué)幫助。

Figures show that each UK hospital deals with around 10,000 time wasters every year.

數(shù)據(jù)顯示,英國每家醫(yī)院每年都要接待約一萬次浪費(fèi)時(shí)間的案例。

A single visit to A&E costs a minimum of £59 - meaning unnecessary attendances cost the taxpayer millions of pounds each year.

去一次急診室最少要花費(fèi)59英鎊,也就是說無效問診每年要花費(fèi)納稅人幾百萬英鎊。

皇家伯恩茅斯醫(yī)院運(yùn)營總監(jiān)理查德•雷諾說:“盡管我們每次都會(huì)對前來問診的人盡己所能,但是在小傷病上花費(fèi)了時(shí)間后,就會(huì)減少來到醫(yī)院的重癥病人的診治時(shí)間。”

Geoffrey Walker, matron for emergency care at Poole Hospital, added: "A&E departments are for serious illness or injury and it's important to stress that the vast majority of patients do access the service appropriately. For those that don't need A&E there are many alternatives."

普爾醫(yī)院急救護(hù)理主管杰弗里•沃克補(bǔ)充道:“急診室是為那些嚴(yán)重受傷或重癥病人準(zhǔn)備的,非常重要的一點(diǎn)是要保證絕大多數(shù)病人得到合適的服務(wù)。對那些不需要去急診室的人來說,他們還有很多別的選擇。”
