At the entrance of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College stood a notice prohibiting entry. On May 9th, it was reported by China News Service (reporter: Zhugeng Zhu) that several employees of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College complained to reporters, "The new regulations introduced by our hospital are really absurd! The leaders can park for free, but we ordinary employees cannot. Why is that?" In the morning of May 9th, in response to the doubts raised by reporters, relevant person in charge of Xuzhou Medical College Affiliated Hospital explained that the reason for introducing this regulation is mainly due to the construction of a three-level underground parking lot in the hospital, which has caused a shortage of existing parking spaces. Therefore, the new regulation limits only employees with senior professional titles and department directors or above to be allowed to park inside the hospital. This is a temporary measure taken to facilitate patient parking.
"Before May Day, the leadership of the department conveyed the spirit of the hospital meeting: from now on, only those with senior professional titles and department directors or above can park their cars for free in the hospital." Several employees of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College reflected to reporters that the hospital's practice of deciding parking spaces based on titles and positions is obviously unreasonable. Isn't it like "allowing the official to set fire but not allowing the common people to light a lamp"? It divides the hospital employees into different levels. "Nowadays, a car has to pay 10 yuan per day for parking, which is a big expense for ordinary employees. Although the notice at the gate says that vehicles of hospital employees are prohibited from entering, if we pay, we can still enter and park."
In the morning of May 9th, at the north gate of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College, vehicles waiting to enter also formed a long queue. Reporters also saw a notice board standing at the north gate, which read, "From today onwards, vehicles of hospital employees are prohibited from entering. Please understand!" According to the introduction by the hospital parking lot charging personnel, the hospital parking lot is currently contracted out, and the current standard is 5 yuan for every 8 hours. About 100 meters inside the west gate of the hospital, reporters saw that a new ward building was about to be completed, and a new underground parking lot was under construction.
A woman from the Publicity Department of Xuzhou Medical College Affiliated Hospital told reporters that the hospital indeed introduced this regulation, limiting only hospital employees with senior professional titles and department directors or above to be able to park for free. There are more than 800 registered employee vehicles in the hospital, but there are less than 200 available parking spaces. Meanwhile, the new underground parking lot of the hospital is under construction, occupying many parking spaces, making the situation even more urgent. To facilitate patient parking, the hospital had no choice but to adopt this method.
Another staff member wearing a red coat from the same department introduced: "There are about more than 100 people with senior professional titles and department directors or above in the hospital, and they can park for free. Many department directors have surgical responsibilities, and it is often difficult to find parking spaces when they come to the hospital, delaying treatment. But this difficulty is temporary. After the new underground parking lot is completed in the second half of this year, the problem will be solved quickly." The person in charge also admitted that originally, hospital employees could park for free in the hospital, whoever came first parked first, and those who came late had to park outside.
