Why can a small clinic cure a disease that is not good in a big hospital?It turns out that there are

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-31

If the elderly or children at home are sick, they will go to the hospital to find out the reason, if they feel unwell, they will either go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, or go to the small clinic on the street for treatment.

There's a stark contrast:

Go to a big hospital to see a doctorIt is difficult to get it without three or two hundred yuan, if you add filming, laboratory tests, thousands of yuan will be spent, even if it is a minor illness, it will take a few days to take the medicine prescribed by the hospital;

Go to a small clinic to see a doctorIf the condition is not serious, you can feel "resurrected" after taking medicine once.

Whether it is the cost or the medicine, the small clinic "wins" the hospital, the key is that the small clinic can cope with any disease, is it better than the hospital?

Small clinics, called clinics and infirmaries in the past, are much smaller than hospitals in scale, with an area of tens to hundreds of square meters, most of them only have outpatient services and pharmacies, and there are no inpatient, emergency and operating rooms.

The clinic is an important supplement to hospital visits, triaging some underlying cases and preventing medical runs. It is essentially a medical institution under the supervision of the medical and drug regulatory department, and there are various hardware and software requirements for opening a clinic, and it has been registered and reviewed and accepted.

The department setting of the clinic is generally a specialized clinic, which has three basic functions: medical treatment, infusion, and prescription of medicine, and most of them are internal medicine, or a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Surgical clinics are rare, because surgery requires a large number of supporting personnel and equipment such as doctors, anesthesia, operating rooms, instruments, testing, and disinfection, and small clinics do not have the conditions.

In fact, there are still a lot of patients in small clinics, especially when the seasons change and temperature changes, small clinics are running at "full capacity", and the daily disease number is more common in young and middle-aged people, and the disease is more common in respiratory, infectious, digestive, and immune diseases.

What impresses people in the small clinic is that they can see any disease, and the process is simple and fast, saving the trouble of often queuing in the hospital, and the doctor usually simply measures the body temperature, blood pressure and blood sugar, asks about the symptoms, and prescribes medicine. The cost is not expensive, a few small packets of pills, or hanging bottles a few times, the patient feels much more relaxed.

There are three main reasons why patients choose small clinics: first, the process is trouble-free, second, the effect is good, and third, the cost is cheap

Why can I see all kinds of diseases in the clinic?Is it better than a big hospital?Why does the medicine it prescribe get better relatively quickly, and even the medicine cures the disease?The doctor will take you to uncover the secrets.

Clinics usually have 4 "secrets":

1. Doctors

Usually the clinic contains 1-2 powerful doctors, most of whom are "spare heat" after retirement from large hospitals, or "factory doctors" of large factories and enterprises in the past, and they are better at a certain aspect of the disease. The rest of the doctors, mainly general practitioners, can see a little bit of any disease, but they don't know enough and don't know enough, they can only deal with the general situation.

Because most of the diseases I usually see are colds, fever, diarrhea, constipation, joint pain and other diseases, I have been in contact with many diseases, and I have accumulated some experience and methods.

2. Medication

There are two versions: one is preferred by clinicsAntibiotics, corticosteroids, pain relievers;One isAntibiotics, hormones, nutrients, vitamins, infusionsWhat they all have in common is that there are medicationsAntibiotics + hormones + anti-inflammatories, the dose is relatively large, and the dosage is relatively sufficient.

These drug combinations are known to experienced patients to be "fierce drugs" and cannot be used indiscriminately. If it is used in a large hospital, the prescription system cannot be submitted, or the approval and use procedures are complicated, and the reasons are commonly understood:

In the face of symptoms, antibiotics and hormones can reduce the patient's body's immune response, achieve the purpose of reducing fever and relieving pain, and reduce inflammation and discomfort, provided that the immune cells are bound by the drug and do not resist, and the human body will not have fever and no symptoms. But in fact, the pathogen has not been eliminated and is still in ambush in the body. In other words, antibiotics and hormones become the "**" of the disease

The use of drugs in large hospitals starts from a low dose, which is very cautious, mainly relying on the immune system to fight the disease and achieve the purpose of remission and self-healing, and there is a huge difference in the use of drugs.

3. Process

The process of small clinics is relatively simple, mainly because the examination facilities are relatively simple and insufficient, and more tests the doctor's skills and judgment, so they will be more bold in high-dose administration, and the patient will not come the second time if he does not see it well.

The clinic is not only fast in the process, but also "mentions that can be administered intravenously, not intramuscularly;."It can be injected intramuscularly, but not orally;Those that can be taken orally are likely to have strong drugs such as antibiotics and painkillers.

4. Speech

Clinics need to make money to stay in business, and when communicating with patients, speech skills are more important. For example:

I met some people who just want to buy the most transparent retail drugs, usually saying that there is no medicine;When encountering the disease number of "sick according to the textbook", this kind of patient is easier to treat, but the doctor will make the disease more difficult and bigger, so that the cure can be passed on by word of mouth and make a reputation;When encountering various inflammations, pains, difficult and serious diseases, or tumors, the elderly, etc., they are usually afraid to take over and will let the patient go to the hospital.

These 4 "secrets that are not passed on" are simply the "pillars" of the clinic doctors, so patients should know what is going on in the clinic where they can see any disease.

The dilemma is: go to the clinic, get better quickly, spend less money, fear of heavy medication, sequelae and adverse effects;Go to the hospital, be cautious in taking medication, get better slowly, spend a lot of money, and be afraid of being over**. How should patients choose?
