Kolaž "tople vode" koju su već svugdje otkrili(prijevod tekstova iz svijeta o zlorabljenju hitnih prijema),pa se možemo poslužiti... Ne zloupotrebljavajte Vašu hitnu pomoć i hitne bolničke prijeme.Koristite hitnu pomoć/OHBP za ozbiljne neočekivane bolesti i povrede. Da li znate da jedan od četiri pacijenta koji koriste hitnu/OHBP ne treba hitnu pomoć?Takvo postupanje samo produžuje redove i vrijeme čekanja za sve pacijente.Također onemogućuje da se racionalno koristi vrijeme i vještine osoblja u hitnim prijemima. Informativna stranica za pacijente- sadržaj - manje zdravstvene tegobe,kad se trebam zabrinuti...? Vani postoji službeni link na web-u naziva -kada se trebam zabrinuti ? Prehlade i grlobolje su obično uzrokovane virusima, a antibiotici nemaju učinka na viruse... Upamtite,antibiotici vam ne omogućuju da brže prođe virusni infekt. (najčešća rečenica pacijenata-dajte mi AB da mi brže prođe....) Virusni infekt treba pustiti da ide svojim normalnim tokom.Najbolje je čekati i vidjeti , te zatražiti savjet ljekarnika kako ublažiti simptome. Normalno je da simptomi virusnog infekta traju do 14 dana i duže...(upravo je epidemija jednog takvog u toku,a pacijenti dolaze već prvi,drugi dan......) Kako izgleda virusni infekt ?(kad bi to utvrdili najmanje 20 % koji dolazi na OHBP/ a i kod nas(utvrđeno istraživanjem) ,a radi virusnih respiratornih simptoma-ne bi došao...) When viruses infect your respiratory system (nose, throat and chest) they can cause any or all of these symptoms:Sneeze . Runny or stuffy nose . Coughing . Sore throat . Sneezing . Watery eyes . Headache . Body aches . Fever . Chills . Tiredness Da,TO JE VIRUSNI INFEKT i sve što treba raditi je ČEKATI da prođe... Kada trebam posjetiti liječnika ?

Pa onda mali igrokaz za pacijente : Zašto niste trebali biti na hitnoj ! A typically busy day in A&E, but how many of these patients should NOT really be there? Click on the numbered patients to find out what's wrong with them and where they should be. http://www.nhsggc.org.uk/content/mediaassets/images/whats_the_emergency_numb ers_map_600.jpg 1. LISA (33) woke up today with swelling to her face. It's not gone down, and as her dentist is now closed, she's come to the emergency department for advice. There are a number of seriously ill patients in the department and she has to wait until they've been seen. Lisa should have called her dentist where she would have received a recorded message advising her to call NHS 24 on 111. NHS 24 would have quickly assessed her, and if necessary, would have arranged for her to attend the Emergency Dental Treatment Centre in Glasgow.

By 8pm she decides that she can't tolerate this through the night and needs to get help. Margaret decides to come to the emergency department for assistance. Having confirmed that her situation was not life-threatening Margaret has to wait for more urgent cases to be dealt with. If Margaret had instead made a quick call to NHS24, she would have been referred to the GP out-of-hours service and asked to go to her local primary care emergency centre. There she would be seen quickly by an out-of-hours GP who would have diagnosed her chest infection and prescribed her antibiotics.

His mother is worried that his cough hasn't cleared and has brought him to A&E. Instead, she should treat his cold by keeping him warm and rested and giving him plenty of fluids to drink. Paracetamol will reduce his high temperature. Most people recover from viral infections like colds within four to seven days.

JIM, aged 55, has come to the emergency department after his wife encouraged him to get a three-week old back injury checked out and X-rayed.

His GP would also arrange for him to see a back specialist if necessary. ( <http://www.nhsggc.org.uk/CONTENT/default.asp?page=s1695#image> Back to picture) 5. BOB, 27 from Springburn, has just woken up after his work's Christmas night out. His ankle is swollen and really hurts but he can walk on it.

Bob should have gone to his local Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) at New Stobhill Hospital where experienced nurse practitioners are available to treat minor injuries such as sprains and cuts. Instead of having to wait for more seriously ill patients to be seen, Bob would have been seen quickly at the MIU and sent home with advice and painkillers, reassured that his ankle was not broken.

She has come to the emergency department for antenatal advice and to arrange a scan as she is not aware of how the NHS works. Anna could have gone to the NHS24 website www.nhs24.com where she would have found out how to register with a local GP and a list of GPs in her area. She should then have made an appointment with her GP for her antenatal care. ( <http://www.nhsggc.org.uk/CONTENT/default.asp?page=s1695#image> Back to picture) 7. MARY, 24, has a long-standing mental health problem. With Christmas looming, she's finding it all too much to cope with and is in crisis.

Glasgow and Clyde's Mental Health crisis teams* work seven days a week, 365 days a year to support people in crisis and help resolve their problems. A visit to Mary's GP or a call to NHS 24 would have resulted in an urgent referral and immediate response from the team. *In Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, this service is provided by the Intensive Home Treatment Service.

He has turned up at his emergency department because he is due to play football tomorrow night and he wants the problem cleared up before then. Verrucas are one of a number of minor ailments that your local pharmacy can treat. Instead of a long wait in an emergency department, John should have made a quick trip to his pharmacist for advice and medicine to clear the infection up.

Koliko pacijenata može doktor sa SIGURNOŠĆU vidjeti/pregledati dnevno? How many patients can a doctor safely see a day? <http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/post-author/luis-collar> Luis Collar, MD | <http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/category/physician> Physician | December 31, 2013 ..good medicine simply can't be practiced in five to seven minutes. I would argue that if any practice has a significant amount of patients over the age of fifty, then seeing more than about twenty-five to thirty patients a day is irresponsible. ...once you go above that number in one day you're entering dangerous territory.
