Weekend work in Xi'an ophthalmology department
As a famous historical and cultural city in China, Xi'an has rich medical resources and developed ophthalmology. However, due to the increase of medical demand and the limitation of patients' visiting time, some eye hospitals also began to provide weekend work services. This article will elaborate the specific situation of working on weekends in Xi'an ophthalmology department from four aspects.
1、 Opening Hours of Eye Hospital
First, we should know the opening hours of Xi'an Eye Hospital. Generally, the working hours of eye hospitals are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and there may be lunch break in the afternoon. On weekends, hospitals usually provide non emergency services. However, not all hospitals will provide the service of working on weekends, so it is better to consult the hospital in advance before registering whether to provide the service of seeing a doctor on weekends.
Secondly, in some large ophthalmic hospitals, such as the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University and the Eye Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Medical College, they will provide special emergency departments that can see doctors at any time in an emergency. These emergency departments are usually open to patients 24 hours a day, all year round. This is very convenient for emergency ophthalmic patients.
In addition, some private eye clinics will also provide services on weekends, including Huashan Eye Hospital, Renji Eye Hospital, etc. Private hospitals usually do not need to register in advance and can go to see doctors according to their own time.
2、 Characteristics of weekend ophthalmic clinic
Weekend ophthalmic clinics are characterized by a relatively loose time for medical treatment and a small number of registered persons. Because people have less work and study pressure on weekends, they will choose to use the weekend time for medical treatment. In some hospitals with large flow of people, patients may need to arrive at the hospital in advance and wait in line. But generally speaking, there are relatively few people in the ophthalmic clinic on weekends, and the registration queue time and waiting time are relatively short.
In addition, the eye clinic on weekends usually provides medical services for general practitioners and specialists. General practitioners will diagnose and treat patients' general eye health problems, such as myopia, hyperopia, amblyopia, etc. The specialist will deal with some more complicated ophthalmic problems, such as glaucoma, cataract, keratopathy, etc. It is very important to select patients according to their own conditions.
In addition, the eye clinic on weekends may also provide other auxiliary examination and treatment services, such as optometry, glasses matching, fundus examination and intraocular pressure measurement. The provision of these services allows patients to complete ophthalmic examination and treatment at one time, which is convenient and fast.
3、 Patients who need to work on weekends
Eye hospitals working on weekends are very beneficial to some specific patient groups. The first is white-collar workers. Because white-collar workers are busy working days, they are difficult to ask for leave or do not have enough time to see a doctor. They often choose to see a doctor on weekends. In addition, there are student groups who cannot be absent from classes at ordinary times, and who can not delay their study at weekends. There are also some patients who come from other places to see a doctor. They usually choose to see a doctor on weekends, which is convenient and fast.
4、 Summary
In short, it has become a trend for Xi'an Eye Hospital to provide services on weekends. However, not all eye hospitals will provide weekend work services, and patients need to know relevant information in advance when choosing hospitals. The ophthalmic outpatient service at weekends is relatively loose and convenient. White collars, students and patients from other places are the main beneficiaries of weekend work services. In the case of high demand, we hope Xi'an can further strengthen the training of ophthalmologists, provide better weekend medical services, and meet the needs of patients.
