The observations, made by a pharmacist here, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
The medical staff to patients ratio has reached an all-time high, reason being there’s a lacking in human resources, and the other, too many patients. If after the hospitals evaluated the situations, and, the nurses to patients ratio is still too high, then, we can contribute this situation to too many people staying in the hospitals.
The Department of Health Insurances posted the ratios of the hospitals staff members to patients, and still focused on allotting the resources. I’m not at all against this “carrots” policy, if the amount of money rewarded really goes to the hands of the nurses, then, shouldn’t the other hand be holding that rod that has the carrots tied to the end of it too? The hospitals need to get up to standards, and those hospitals that failed to pass the evaluations, are like those students who skipped too many classes, should we use the carrots rewarding programs, or should we, use the sticks instead, to make those hospitals operate up to standards? Are we going to reward those students who skipped a ton of classes with good grades, to help them pass their courses?
Secondly, on the issue of how the public is abusing the medical resources, since the National Health Insurance Programs started twenty years ago, the average number of times that the members of the public getting treated in the hospitals had been hiking up. Based off of the Department of Health Insurances, someone had gone to the hospitals to get treated for 575 times at the most; and, based off of this trend in the public seeing the physicians, no matter how many personnel had been added to the staff, the hospitals would NEVER get caught up with the demands of the citizens being treated, and, should we blame this trend on those who are working too hard already, in the hospitals? Like how a classroom can only contain fifty students, but the professor took in seventy, and there will always be those students who are without a seat.

If the hospitals were evaluated and passed through the standards, and the patient to nurse ratio is still very high, then, it’s a good sign, that the hospital is hiring more nursing staff members, but, this, is the hospitals, doing what they’re supposed to, do we need to, hurry, to reward these workers? Or should we, start considering, assigning the patients more evenly instead, so the hospitals with better number of resources to have the overflow of patients, and, assigning the level of assistances needed as emergent to non, all of these, are workable ways to resolve the issues.
It’s already a miracle, Taiwan’s system of national health insurance, and, the hardworking mannerisms of the nurses and the doctors are amazing already, and yet, as the Department of Health is discussing the issues, they’d always found the blames on the medical units, and forgot, that the biggest problems of medical insurances may be from the general public.
Everybody HAS a right, to enjoy the services and cares provided by this country, and everybody has an obligation, to protect this system. Other than making the general public understand the importance of this national health insurance program, there’s, NO other ways to resolve this abusing the systems of medical care.

So, because this country has such wonderful medical care program, you can’t blame some for abusing the systems, I mean, we only need to pay a few thousand dollars N.T. a year, to get fully insured for ANY of the medical services we need, and this, is not really good at all, because there are those who are, abusing this system of welfare provided by the government, like how people would head into the E.R.s of the hospitals when they get a STREP THROAT, or something minor, and that, is how we run out of money, in the healthcare departments…
