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.
