なんちゃって英語・英会話コミュのFor Children

Now it's said that the number of pediatricians
(children's doctor) and obstetricians are decreasing
gradually in Japan. Now some women don't want to have
children, and many women want late marriage.

The number of children is decreasing, and so only few
doctors want to be children's doctors. In addition
the work of children's doctors is very hard, and their
pay is not enough. Some hospitals have closed their
pediatric department because of unprofitable business.

As a result especially emergency of pediatric patients
is difficult. In obstetricians the situation is same.
They have to work in almost 24 hours, and their pay is
not enough. Moreover if delivery is abnormal, doctors
are accused in many cases.

If doctors lose a lawsuit, they have to pay about one
or two hundred million yen. Hard work, low pay and
a lawsuit are common. It's difficult to resolve this
problem.
