Seeing a doctor seems so simple, but it is difficult for many elderly people. This has also made the profession of “accompanying doctor” quickly become a popular industry in Shanghai following its emergence in recent years. However, although an accompanying doctor can start work without any work experience or professional background, in fact, they need to be familiar with the procedures of making appointments, registration, seeing a doctor, paying fees, and the next visit to a doctor in different clinics and hospitals, and even have a certain degree of medical and medical knowledge. Insurance knowledge.
According to the “Xinmin Evening News” report, Guo Jiahui, the accompanying doctor, said that her mobile phone is full of Apps from major hospitals in Shanghai, which are used to “check” the latest news of the hospital at any time, and the preparation process is not sloppy. Departments, prepare relevant equipment, and go to the elderly’s home before going to the hospital for a simple health check on the client.
What impressed her the most was an elderly couple in their 80s with chronic diseases and their children working abroad. The grandfather needed surgery for cardiovascular disease and needed various examinations to communicate with the doctor in advance; the grandmother had dementia, knee injuries and sleep disorders. Apnea. That day, she took the old people to 5 or 6 departments to see all the symptoms. Although the process was hard, she was invited by the old couple as family members to have dinner at home following the end, which made her feel warm and recognized.
Guo Lili, the first batch of accompanying doctors in 2022, has changed from the front line to the leader of the accompanying medical team. She was born in the 1990s and found a relatively free job as an accompanying doctor in order to take care of her children. The income of RMB 18,000 to 25,000 (approximately NT$79,000 to 110,000) is quite surprising, but what she sees is that the population is aging rapidly, children are not around the elderly, and the elderly cannot adapt to multiple problems of technology.
In addition, in the fast-growing industry of accompanying doctors, there are serious accompanying doctors who do outpatient consultations during the day and study medical services, psychology, and popular science films at night, as well as bad people who take the elderly to the hospital and leave them alone. There is a lack of unified standards, and the quality of employees varies. The only “commonly agreed” ones are 200 to 300 yuan (approximately NT$876 to 1314) for half a day and 300 to 500 yuan (approximately NT$1314 to 2191) for a full day. Escort fees.
