Why are patients so afraid of doctors in Vietnam?

In Vietnam, students who receive a General Practitioner degree are allowed to practice medicine, while in many countries such as Thailand, Japan, China, India, Bangladesh, the situation is different...

Have a degree but not allowed to practice medicine?

In Vietnam, a general practitioner degree is enough to be allowed to practice medicine. Some specialized hospitals require new doctors to undergo a specialized orientation course for several months. The graduation exam for this specialty is organized by the training school itself.

In Thailand, Japan, China, India, and Bangladesh, even with a General Practitioner degree, doctors are not allowed to practice medicine. In these countries, after obtaining a General Practitioner degree, doctors are absolutely not allowed to prescribe medicine themselves. They are required to attend specialized classes. It is called specialized, but it includes the main specialty and specialties related to that main specialty. In Japan, the duration of this specialized class is 2 years.

After completing this specialized course, they must take a national practical competency exam. This exam is organized by the Ministry of Health and is applied nationwide. Schools are not allowed to organize their own exams. If they pass this test, they will officially be allowed to practice medicine independently.

The difference between quality and non-quality schools is shown in the percentage of students who pass the above gates.

With this output management, the quality of doctors, whether they study at medical schools in Tokyo or in remote provinces, is basically the same. Common diseases are well treated at basic hospitals. Large hospitals are responsible for handling complicated cases and focusing on scientific research. Hospital revenues depend directly on the health insurance budget and scientific research cooperation organizations with the hospital. Doctors' income does not depend on the number of patients visiting the hospital.

That is why in developed countries, central hospitals are not overloaded.

Are Vietnamese people too unfair to medical staff?

First of all, I must affirm that there are still more good and kind doctors in Vietnam than bad ones. I call doctors who spend their time at game shops and those who extort money from patients while practicing as grains of sand.

I also find something very strange in Vietnam: patients are very afraid of doctors. If we consider public hospitals as joint stock companies whose shareholders are 90 million people, then for every 90 million VND in the hospital, a medical staff of that facility only has 1 VND in shares. Hospital staff, regardless of their position, are all employees of the boss, the 90 million people.

Back to the question “Are Vietnamese people too unfair to medical staff?”

If we have a bowl of excellent fragrant rice, but for every 2 grains of rice, people mix in 1 grain of sand, what will you use that bowl of rice for? Surely we will use it to cook pig feed!

When pouring that bowl of fragrant rice to cook pig feed, I guarantee that no one will not feel regretful. So let's become the bosses who are always right but full of wisdom. Be really picky and find a tool to remove all those grains of sand before it is mixed with the fragrant rice grains that you have painstakingly grown yourself.

If you are too easygoing, you, your loved ones and maybe my loved ones may one day suffer from swallowing a stubborn and thorny stone. The grain of jasmine rice itself has no way of crawling out of that bowl of rice with so many stones.

Use the power of the major shareholder to eliminate all the mistakes, so that the fragrant rice plants do not have to bear the resentment of having to endure the bright rays of the sun and the cool drops of water to create the fragrant, clear rice grains - the thing that people next door make into delicious, fragrant cakes, but in our house people put into the pig swill pot!

But if you have a bowl of rice that is all excellent fragrant rice grains and has no grit, you should cherish and take care of it like your neighbor's! Let the excellent fragrant rice plants feel the need to try their best and maybe sacrifice a little personal interests for their wise owners!
