I went to the emergency room of the hospital

<The problem of the "emergency room hit-and-run incident" experienced by a politician>

Kim Jong-in, the so-called kingmaker, criticized the government by talking about his experience in the recent medical situation.

"I fell down early yesterday morning and broke my forehead. 119 came and called 22 emergency rooms, but there was no answer," he said

"I went to the emergency room of the hospital I used to go to often, but there was no doctor there. You don't know unless you have experienced it. Eventually, I sewed about 8 centimeters of my forehead in the emergency room that I found difficult."

They called 22 emergency rooms from 119, but no one wanted to take them. Why is that?

A torn forehead of 8 cm is a scary and scary experience for a patient as an individual, but it is not an emergency for a doctor at all. It will leave a scar, but it can be stitched up at any hospital. However, Kim already considered himself an emergency. This is the first question. Whether it is an emergency or not is not decided by the patient. It is thoroughly decided by the doctor.

But why didn't 22 emergency rooms accept him when it wasn't even an emergency?  

Suppose a patient with an 8cm torn forehead came to the emergency room. The doctor stops the bleeding and checks the degree of damage, checks the state of consciousness, and takes a CT scan unconditionally to distinguish brain bleeding. It also determines whether there is a cerebral hemorrhage. If it is not a cerebral hemorrhage, the torn forehead is sutured and finished. An emergency room doctor can stitch it to any hospital.

This is the case of Kim Jong-in. However, if it was a cerebral hemorrhage, it would be a real emergency. Brain hemorrhage may require emergency surgery depending on the amount of bleeding or the degree of consciousness, or hospitalized in the intensive care unit and needs close observation. We need an intensive care unit + a neurosurgeon who can operate right away.

However, 22 hospitals did not have an intensive care unit plus a neurosurgeon who could operate immediately. This is the second problem.

Anyone who receives Kim Jong-in can undergo a medical examination at any hospital. However, if a cerebral hemorrhage occurs, it is very difficult for everyone to transfer to the hospital. In addition, if the media reports that the person died due to a bad situation, even the hospital that accepted the situation at risk suffers from various lawsuits. This is the third problem. This is the same as the reason why 22 hospitals do not have intensive care units plus neurosurgeons to operate immediately, and is also in line with the reason why vital doctors are gradually disappearing.

  It may be dangerous for patients, but it is safe for hospitals not to receive even a little dangerous patients (thirst, trauma, cardiovascular disease, suicide attempters, etc.) from the beginning.

Finally, he made a mistake.
"I identified myself and went."
If I had identified myself and gone to see the doctor, would I have kept my mouth shut about this medical issue?
Or was he just disappointed that he didn't receive the same privileges as a helicopter like other opposition politicians?
