How to see a doctor is appropriate
1, judge which department you should go to.
Nowadays, medicine has already developed in the direction of specialty, and the branches of tertiary hospitals are very detailed. If you can't think of a cure, you can only waste the time in line.
General tertiary hospitals have the following departments: neurology, cardiovascular medicine, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, nephrology, hematology, endocrinology, rheumatology and immunology, infection, general surgery, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, orthopedics, urology, brain surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, stomatology, dermatology, traditional Chinese medicine and so on.
What needs to be added is that some special specialties are not available in general tertiary hospitals, such as burns, plastic surgery, anorectal surgery and pediatric surgery. Zhao Ning, General Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital Of course, most people have no medical knowledge, and in many cases, the symptoms of the disease are not specific, so it is difficult to judge which specialty to see.
In this case, it is best to go to a first-class hospital (community hospital) and be treated by a general practitioner. I believe that minor ailments can be solved, and those that cannot be solved will be recommended by general practitioners to a higher level hospital. In fact, this medical model is also widely adopted by developed countries and is one of the directions of medical reform in China at present.
2. Make a summary of your illness. In the general outpatient department of a tertiary hospital, each doctor has to see more than 30 patients for half a day, which means that each patient only has 5- 10 minutes, including the time for doctors to write medical records and prescribe drugs.
Even in specialist clinics, patients with 15 or more should be seen every half day. Summarizing one's illness before seeing a doctor, explaining one's symptoms concisely when seeing a doctor and answering the questions raised by the doctor accurately can greatly save the time of seeing a doctor.
3. Don't go to the emergency room easily. Emergency department is a department that treats critical diseases, and the types of emergency diseases are very different from those of outpatient department. Diseases that do not belong to the emergency department cannot be effectively solved in the emergency department, such as hemorrhoids, furuncle, paronychia, dressing change and stitches removal, mammary gland hyperplasia, constipation and so on. I advise patients with this disease not to go to the emergency room at night because they have no time to work during the day.
