All the pediatricians of Saitama Red Cross Hospital are going to leave

 

All of the 4 Full-time pediatricians are going to leave red cross hospital in Saitama in this summer or autumn. The hospital is trying to persuade them not to quit but it is highly likely for all of them to quit. The reason is not announced. Currently the hospital is not accepting high risk pregnancy and outpatient of pediatrics.
In April of 2011, the hospital just obtained the licence of Perinatal Medical Center to serve advanced medical care for pregnant women in the severe condition or newborn babies. (10 hospitals have the licence in Saitama), but the medical department of prefectural government comments, the hospital is trying to hunt new doctors but if they keep having difficulties to find back-up doctors, the licence might be cancelled.

All of the 3 full-time doctors are leaving from Shiki city hospital of Saitama as well. They haven’t found back-up doctors after October yet.

  1. Iori…welcome to America! I saw some hardworking Japanese refugees today in my city…they are welcome here with no prejudicial reservations and my city is a fairly typical Southwestern city. Not every city in America is so cosmopolitan, but most are filled with caring people like Japan.

    As for the doctors leaving in Saitama…are we surprised? This is the same place they forced the school kids to gargle radioactive Sayama tea in December. Madmen in charge!

    Have a nice flight…drink bottle water or mineral water in America…most tap water is as crappy as in Japan.

    Ciao,

  2. Sounds like a labor dispute, with ALL of them leaving. But more investigation would be warranted if someone on the ground in Saitama has time to go and talk with a few of them.

    Les 4 pédiatres exerçant à plein temps vont quitter l’hôpital de la Croix Rouge de Saitama cet été ou cet automne. L’hôpital essaye de les persuader de rester mais ils sont bien décidés à partir. La raison n’en est pas donnée. Usuellement, l’hôpital ne reçoit pas les grossesses à hauts risques et ne donne pas de consultations externes en pédiatrie.
    En avril 2011, L’hôpital a obtenu seulement une habilitation pour que le Centre Médical de Périnatalité puisse fournir des soins médicaux aux femmes enceintes et en état sérieux ou aux nouveaux-nés. (10 hôpitaux sont habilités à Saitama) mais le département médical du gouvernement préfectoral commente, l’hôpital essaye de trouver d’autres médecins mais s’ils ont des difficultés à trouver des médecins en remplacement, l’habilitation pourrait en être retirée.

    Les trois médecins à temps complet de l’hôpital de Saitama de la ville de Shiki s’en vont également. Ils n’ont pas encore trouvé de remplaçants pour octobre.

    全小児科医が退職の意向 さいたま赤十字病院

    さいたま赤十字病院(さいたま市中央区)で、小児科の常勤医師4人全員が退職の意向を示し、小児科の対応が必要なハイリスク妊婦の新規受け入れや、小児科専門外来への新規紹介患者の受け入れを一時中止する事態に陥っている。同病院は早期に後任医師を確保したい考えだが、全国的に小児科医不足が深刻化する中、めどは立っていない。

    同病院によると、小児科の常勤医は現在4人で、全員が今夏から秋までの間に退職を希望。病院側は引き留めているが、全員退職する可能性が高いという。退職の理由は明らかにされていない。

    持病や高齢などで出産時に危険が伴う「ハイリスク妊婦」は、未熟児を出産する場合も多い。産婦人科だけでなく小児科の対応も必要となるため、当面はハイリスク妊婦の新規受け入れは困難と判断した。小児科専門外来への新規紹介患者についても、長期診療が必要な患者に迷惑が掛かるとして、受け入れを一時中止している。

    5月下旬にはホームページ上で患者らに現状を報告。同病院総務課の内田紹夫課長は「通常の外来や妊婦の受け入れは引き続き行っている。ハイリスク妊婦も状況によっては受け入れないわけではないが、なるべく別の病院を探していただく方がいいとお知らせしている。一日も早く元の体制に戻せるよう、医師の確保に全力を挙げたい」としている。

    同病院は昨年4月、県から重症の妊婦や新生児に高度医療を提供する「周産期母子医療センター」(県内10カ所)の認定を受けたばかり。県医療整備課は「病院からは医師の確保に努めていると聞いている。現時点では認定の取り消しは考えていないが、状況次第では対応を検討したい」と話している。

    小児科をめぐっては、志木市立市民病院でも3人の常勤医全員が退職を表明。10月以降の体制は決まっていない。

  4. It is now too late for them now. They ingested and inhaled their fatal doses months ago. They need to stay and help the remaining patients. They need to stay to educate the rest of the world about the magnitude of the ongoing disaster. They need to stay to chart the unprecedented levels of miscarriage, deformity, and cancer.

    They made a choice when they did not to speak up back when people were initially getting sick due to radiation poisoning.

    They took an oath to protect their patients and violated it for money,pride, and status. Let them stay in Japan and remain doctors to those they vowed to help or never again be doctors. I hope no other country allows them in as physicians. This would be condoning their part in the murders of children.

    As regular citizens they should be free to travel where they need to. As doctors they gave away their honor last year and thus should no longer be allowed to practice medicine if they do not practice in Japan.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
