Why are hospitals in big cities so expensive?

Before answering this question, let's ask the questioner: "Why is it that the small barber store in front of my house only costs 15 dollars to cut a plate inch, while some ladies go to a high-class salon to have their hair done for thousands of dollars? Why is a high-class salon so expensive and why is a small barbershop in front of my home so much cheaper?"





If you have a headache or a fever, you'll want to go to one of the largest hospitals in the world, such as Xiehe, Huashan, Huaxi, Xiangya, and so on. It would take a whole day or even longer just to queue up, and then you'd be given a blood test, a box of Cephalosporin, and then you're done. ......

This is the first time I've ever seen the world's most popular TV show, and it's the first time I've seen it in action.

This is the most realistic problem, if just a headache and fever and so on, not many people will go to the "big city of the big hospital", often are close to find a small hospital, or even go to the small clinic of the people also. Take the simplest fever as an example, go to a small hospital to check a blood test, see blood, if it is a bacterial infection, at best, and then do a culture and drug sensitivity, prescribe some antibiotics, Europe! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

The big hospitals are different, and many people have actually been to many small hospitals before going to the big hospitals, because the treatment is not good enough to choose to go to the big hospitals. The actual cost of the actual surgery is actually a lot more than the cost of the surgery, but the cost of the surgery is a lot more than the cost of the surgery. If it is a serious disease that requires hospitalization, the cost will be even higher! Isn't it? Then again, if it is a more serious disease, in the small hospital treatment, I am afraid that the cost is not low to go.

This is a very understandable problem, as the cost of getting a haircut and a perm or hair coloring can be the same. What's more, I'm afraid that going to a big hospital is not just a perm, but a hair transplant, or even a scalp reshaping! Do you want to use the money you spent on a haircut to get a hair transplant or even a scalp surgery? Obviously, the questioner is just a mess, deliberately changing the concept, trying to deepen the "doctor-patient conflict"!

The state-approved fees for medical procedures vary by city.


These first-tier cities
are what the prices are, and what the prices are in the smaller cities? If you spend a thousand dollars on accommodation in a small county, you may not even find a hotel! Because there is no such thing as a luxury hotel in a small town. But if you go to the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen? A thousand dollars may only be able to stay in an ordinary hotel ...... but you feel strange? Do you think it's "unfair"? No! In fact, the gap between the big hospitals in the north and the county hospital charges and standards is far less than the hotel so big, how to relate to the medical industry has become a "sin" it?

Another very real example, the provincial people's hospital, a chief physician's registration fee , I'm afraid, is not as much as some of the so-called "director of the hair salon" of the haircut fee! The fact is, the price of a haircut is not as high as the cost of a haircut for the director of a hair salon. They are the "big names" in the country, how come they are not even as good as a "hairdresser"? Spend thousands of dollars to find the so-called "director" perm you do not feel expensive, spend tens of dollars to register a chief physician's number you on the contrary feel expensive, this is not strange? At present, in addition to some private hospitals and the country's top experts have more than a hundred, the general director of the doctor's number of tens of dollars only ......

Large hospitals are located in the different regions of the different hospitals, the different levels, the charge standard

These are the most important and the most important things that you need to know. The actual price of the product is a lot higher than that of the smaller hospitals. But this high, far from high to so outrageous. The hospital is big, the doctor's level of natural and relatively high, the charges are appropriate to increase is also a matter of course. The barber store "director" and "apprentice" to cut a hair price difference of a few hundred it, a large hospital chief physician and a small hospital attending physician's registration fee, I'm afraid that there is no difference of a few hundred so outrageous, right?

In the end, this is a matter of mentality. In today's world of "doctor-patient conflict", any thing about the hospital will be seriously amplified. Barber store "director" cut a hair than the "apprentice" higher than a few hundred dollars, you feel justified; large hospitals, the chief physician than small hospitals, attending physician registration fees more than a few dozen dollars, you feel unacceptable ... ...

The cost of examination is also the same, you go to the big hospital was because of the seriousness of the disease to go, cancer examination and cold examination cost can be the same, MRI examination cost and CR can be the same? Is the cost of an MRI the same as that of a CR? Is the cost of an ultrasound report issued by a national top doctor or professor the same as that issued by an attending doctor or even a chief doctor of a small hospital? Is it strange that the cost of treatment in big hospitals is higher than that in small hospitals? Undergraduates can enter the county hospital, but doctoral graduates may not be able to enter the provincial hospital, should not doctoral students than undergraduates "worth" some? People so many years of study are not in vain? Why is China's "doctor-patient conflict" so acute? The reason for this is that there are too many people like the questioner, who are not afraid of the world!

This is due to many factors.

1. Prices: In most cases, prices in big cities are much higher than in small places, and the more developed the economy is, the higher the prices are. Large hospitals are full of people, small places are full of people, but also to reduce the pressure on the big medical. Try to put small general illnesses to the grassroots level. The big disease complex disease only to seek help from experts.

3. Expert level and ability: In most cases, the third-level hospitals, especially mega-hospital experts, to be higher than the level of basic experts. Seeing more patients, solving more problems, and much more experience, so see the doctor registration fee is naturally higher than the lower hospitals.

4 more difficult cases: Seek medical treatment in large hospitals, most of the small places can not be solved or solve the problem, so life is only once, since the large hospitals, all the technology, resources, manpower, are invested in the rescue, show that is much more than the small hospitals to invest in the level of the level is also much higher. So it is natural to charge high fees.

5. If the same cost can solve the problem, then why not go to the best hospitals, find the best doctors? If you think so, it will lead to a serious "siphon effect"

6. Some of the above reasons lead people to trust the specialists in the big hospitals, which in turn makes the limited resources in short supply and makes the cost go up.

The root cause of the problem is the difficulty of the disease. Large hospitals have more advanced medical equipment, the accuracy of diagnosis and complete treatment is unmatched by small hospitals.

In fact, it's cheaper to go to a hospital in a big city than in a small one. The fact is that the most important thing is that you have to be able to get the most out of your life, and you have to be able to get the most out of your life, and you have to be able to do that. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal on a new product or service, and then you can get it back. In fact, in small cities, the cost of medical treatment for minor illnesses may be higher, because the problem of drug kickbacks is relatively more serious in small city hospitals. For a minor illness, some doctors will prescribe more drugs than you need for your current condition.

Different levels of consumption, the big city medical staff consumption is high, the hospital a variety of large expenses; equipment is different, testing equipment, medical equipment, big city hospitals are more advanced; technology is different, the big city medical staff from different regions, certainly choose to use the high technology.

The big city resources are good, talent, the same disease spend 20,000 dollars can be cured, in the small county may be repeatedly cured to spend more money and not cured the body was tossed a variety of syndromes are out, the loss is not worth it. It is recommended to go to a first-tier city to cure the better, but the hard part is that there are many people, registered queues, loved ones will also follow the anxious.

The big city resources are good, senior high, the introduction of a large number of medical equipment, high technology, and economic consumption, store expensive, more attentive service, hospital equipment, good. Publicity is good. In comparison, small cities in these aspects will still be inferior.

The standard of living is not the same, the county medicine and city medicine will have a certain difference, so the city will be more expensive and more effective

Why are some big city hospitals to see a doctor expensive? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world!

In the big city hospitals, the doctor's personal qualifications, professional level, the hospital's medical equipment and hardware facilities, the technical inputs to overcome the difficult cases are much higher than the hospitals in small cities. Coupled with the level of consumption in the big city, that's why it's so expensive to see a doctor in a big city hospital, and that's why there are so many patients choosing big city hospitals.

The hospital in the small county is not so expensive. That's because her technical level is not as high as the big city ah, a little bit of difficult cases she asked you to transfer to the big city. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world. In a small county a common child cold IV at least three days, about 100 per day, the first day of laboratory tests. If you take the medicine at home, it will cost you five or six hundred dollars. But you are in a small county general salary is only 100 - 200 a day, right? This is not also very expensive?

So ah, we are usually good exercise, to develop healthy habits, because you will find that the doctor simply can not afford to see ah!

A penny for a penny, the most important thing is not the same level of technology, you can hardly believe that in a small county hospitals will have a high level of doctors exist, high level means that his value is high, the value of high treatment is good, how can a small county afford such a doctor, the doctor's skills are also fed with a large number of cases out of a small county, if a small county hides a sweeping monks, what will happen?

We spend a lot of money to go to the big hospitals to see a doctor, just want to get better medical services, if both want to get high quality medical services and want to cheap, think about it is not appropriate ah?

The question asked the price of the problem there is a layer of meaning, that is, are ordinary hospitals, why the big city expensive small county cheap, this problem in fact, we all know, prices are different caused by the difference, there is no need to discuss.
