- A common complaint about food in hospitals is that it is not always the best.
- The medical personnel always have activities to carry out and therefore the time to go out to eat is limited.
- A doctor reported that because of the street vendors and flannels outside the hospitals, there is no longer a way for ambulances, in addition to the fact that patients miss appointments and workers arrive late.
One of the main wishes of a doctor is to get a stable job. Sometimes it is achieved immediately at the end of the social service and in others years must elapse. In the end, there is always a strong responsibility for the relevance of this profession. But beyond life inside hospitals there are other items that must be considered.
The first thing that is mentioned and it is a reality is that there are always activities to be carried out. It is not only about patient care within the office but everything that must be done before and after the service. Filling out clinical records consumes a lot of time and is an obligation that must be fulfilled to avoid having legal problems.
The importance of teamwork
For his part, The internal environment is also fundamental because it has a direct impact on the performance of workers. Despite the differences, harmony must always prevail because all the elements are part of a team. Everyone’s role is important because if one fails, a bad image is generated in patients.
Similarly, divisions between workers from different areas should be avoided. It does not matter if it is a doctor, specialist, orderly, nurse, administrative or a worker from another field. The participation of each one helps to provide a comprehensive service.
But beyond everything mentioned there is also another aspect that doctors must face and generates divided opinions. These are the street vendors and flannels that are outside the hospitals.
Everything was generated from a publication by psychiatrist Emmanuel Sarmientowho accused that this problem is evident in the southern zone of Mexico City where several hospitals and institutes are located.
He clearly stated that Due to this inconvenience, there is no longer a way for ambulances, in addition to patients missing appointments and workers arriving late. Therefore, it is a problem that also affects patients.
Hospital area in the south of Mexico City getting worse. Streets converted into single or double-row parking lots managed by flanneleros, dozens of street vendors. There is no way for ambulances, patients miss appointments and workers are late.@TlalpanAl

Food stalls outside hospitals, are they necessary?
However, with respect to street vendors, the division of opinions lies in the fact that it has sometimes been considered as a necessary illegal activity. Food stalls outside hospitals are an inexpensive and instant alternative for medical staff and visitors alike.
In that tenor, a common complaint is the quality of the food offered within hospitals. Sometimes it is not the best for all workers who must face excessively long hours.
Similarly, the scholarship of the MIP and the salary of the doctors is usually very low. Therefore, street food is the preferred option for its price. And the same goes for the relatives of hospitalized patients. In the end, although street vendors carry out an illegal activity, it is considered necessary.
For now, what do you think of the street stalls and flanneleros that are outside the hospitals?
