杭州湖州开出“阳康”门诊******
本报讯 （记者 张梦月 周逸 徐坊 通讯员 章舒莎 张弛 戈杰） “咳咳咳。”新冠病毒感染恢复后，你是不是有咳嗽、浑身酸痛、乏力等症状？去医院急诊，人满为患；去呼吸内科门诊挂号，又一号难求。
“阳康”后的不适该怎么办？日前，杭州、湖州的不少医院开出了专门面向“阳康”的门诊，针对患者在康复中出现的各种不适症状提供专业指导和诊疗。这些新开设的门诊运转情况怎么样？记者来到现场探访。
“咳痰有没有好一点？”“胸闷气急有吗？”“走走楼梯会气喘吗？”上午10时，富阳区第一人民医院门诊2楼，4间呼吸综合门诊诊室人头攒动。虽然才开诊两小时，看诊叫号已到了60余号，等候人群中不时传来咳嗽声。
富阳区第一人民医院党委书记何正飞介绍，最近院内新冠病毒感染患者数量增幅明显，“我们观察下来，很多病人是感染后出现了咳嗽、咳痰、心慌、气促、乏力，是‘阳康’后特有的一些症状，为了让患者就诊更加便捷，有序调节好医疗资源，医院开设呼吸综合门诊。”
门诊1月3日开诊后，在限号情况下，一天接待200余个病人，来就诊的病患大多是“阳康”。记者在现场遇到了前来就诊的市民傅先生。去年12月下旬感染新冠病毒后，他一直被咳嗽困扰。“上次来呼吸内科排队等了3个多小时，这次听说开了新门诊，赶紧来复诊。”傅先生说，呼吸综合门诊很适合他这样的“阳康”患者，现场挂号只等了半个小时不到，医生问诊也比较详细。
“阳康”之后，咳嗽或许是大家反映最多的问题。记者从杭州市红十字会医院获悉，不久前，医院整合院内资源，由呼吸科、胸外科、职业病科共同组成大呼吸专病门诊就诊区，同时开出了“咳嗽专病门诊”，一周7天全开放。
“咳嗽专病门诊每天限号100人，基本上都会看满。”杭州市红十字会医院胸外科主任叶波说，来就诊的基本都是“阳康”，存在痰黏、夜晚咳急、痰中带血丝、咳嗽长时间不好转等症状。目前，咳嗽专病门诊有8位医生轮值。
记者注意到，除了上述两家医院外，在杭多家医院针对营养、中医调理、呼吸等市民较为集中的就医需求开设了“阳康”门诊。
而在湖州，湖州市中心医院也于近日推出“阳康”门诊，以中医诊疗为主，康复、心理咨询、营养等科室医生共同坐诊，主要服务感染新冠病毒后处于恢复期的患者。
“我先到了1楼的呼吸综合门诊，已经有不少人在排队了。正好在微信朋友圈看到‘阳康’门诊开诊了，就来挂了个号。”26岁的小徐虽然已经“阳康”快10天了，但还是感觉乏力，还时不时咳嗽。接诊的医生仔细询问了病情、把了脉，最后为小徐对症开了几方中药。“本来不知道去挂哪个科，没想到有了这个‘阳康’门诊，治疗很对症，就诊也方便，挺好挺好。”小徐说。
“一早就已经接诊了20多位‘阳康’患者，超过八成患者表示，‘阳过’后经常会咳嗽，还会出现胸闷、乏力、心烦、失眠等症状。”当天坐诊“阳康”门诊的湖州市中心医院中医科医生韩晋涛告诉记者，中医诊疗在病后防复、防变的功效比较明显。
“‘阳康’门诊分流了呼吸综合门诊的轻症患者，减轻呼吸综合门诊的压力。”湖州市中心医院相关负责人介绍，“同时，我们通过互联网+医保平台线上线下同步开启，在医院内部构建了急诊（发热门诊）—呼吸综合门诊—‘阳康’门诊—互联网门诊四级分层联动的诊疗模式，让患者得到更为精准的诊疗服务。”
另外，记者从湖州市中医院了解到，为帮助市民尽快康复，该院治未病中心充分发挥中医中药特色优势，推出治未病新冠康复门诊。针对“阳康”后咳嗽、乏力、盗汗、失眠、味觉嗅觉消失等症状，通过辨证施药，帮助市民恢复健康。
中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
