When it comes to seeing a doctor with a 10-cent prescription, should you be happy or worried?

First heard the news, the first reaction is skeptical, how can there be as long as 10 cents of the prescription? Even hang up a number to buy a prescription list are more than 10 cents, and then try to figure out this news reported to the 10 cents prescription is what happened.

When I figured it out, I had a lot of respect for the doctor who wrote the prescription. Before she wrote the prescription, the child had already been seen at another hospital, and according to the practice of many hospital doctors nowadays, they ask you to take a new test, because they may not believe the results of other hospitals or the diagnosis of other doctors, and also because they take the opportunity to get another test fee. But this doctor not only didn't ask the family to pay again for any tests, but also fully understood the previous test results and other doctors' diagnoses, and combined with his own experience made a seemingly simple conclusion that surprised the family and surprised the public.

Imagine if the doctor had pushed the patient's family away and asked them to take the child back to the original hospital, or if he had followed the normal process of going through the examination and diagnosis once again regardless of the circumstances and then issued a prescription for a few hundred dollars' worth of medication, what would have been the result? I think that's what we call a "normal" outcome, and it seems that either of these two outcomes is "normal".

Thinking farther ahead, if our medical resources (examination equipment, initial opinions, etc.) can be fully utilized and reused, then how much medical examination equipment can be saved in our country's medical institutions? Especially those small and medium-sized hospitals can not afford to purchase medical examination equipment, their doctors if they can draw on the results of other hospitals to help diagnose their own conditions, or those large hospitals can also use each other's medical resources, then the problem of duplication of the purchase of medical equipment will not arise, right, the limited funds to invest in more advanced medical facilities, or used to improve the level of medical equipment to go up, or The company's main goal is to help the poor and remote areas to enhance their medical equipment, and that would be a "green" thing to do.
