1. Introduction
Neurology is a branch of medicine concerned especially with the structure, function, and diseases of the nervous system including the central and peripheral nervous systems. To a great extent, the practice of Neurology depends on the knowledge of neuroscience and complex nervous system, which is very difficult for students to learn. Therefore, most students think that neurology is a complex subject. According to a survey, neurological difficulties are common not only among students, but also among older doctors[1,2]. It has been proposed that neurology and neurological diseases are special, so it challenges non neurologists, medical students and junior doctors[3,4], but also junior physicians.
Acute and severe diseases in neurology are characterized by rapid onset and progression. If the disease is not correctly diagnosed and treated in time, there will be more complications and higher mortality. Therefore, it is reported that the demand for neurology exceeds the supply [5, 6]. The rapid and accurate diagnosis and adequate treatment are essential to improve the prognosis of acute nervous system diseases [7]. The main purpose of emergency consultation in neurology department is to help the consultation department deal with life-threatening symptoms in time, so as to improve the cure rate and quality of life of patients, the incidence rate and mortality rate are also reduced. However, the serious shortage of neurophysicians will affect the prognosis of the disease, which may be more serious in the future[6]. In fact, the disharmony of doctor-patient relationship also further aggravates the proportion of emergency consultation, which is a huge burden for neurologists. There were few reports about emergency consultation in neurology before. We conducted in-depth investigation on this.
