The process of seeing a doctor often requires tedious steps such as queuing**, waiting for a doctor, doing various tests, and taking medicine, which is exhausting, which is one of the reasons why many people are reluctant to go to the hospital.
However, in reality, as long as you understand and follow some of the "unspoken rules" of the hospital, the process of seeing a doctor can also become easy and enjoyable.
Although there may be some cumbersome and unsatisfactory aspects of the hospital, as long as we are prepared and responded, we can make the process of seeing a doctor smoother and more enjoyable.
Constant fatigue
If you often feel tired and can't get it off with rest, it could be that your body is telling you that something is wrong with your body functioning.
It can be caused by chronic diseases such as anemia, thyroid problems, diabetes, etc. At this point, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible for early treatment** and management.
Long-term body aches
If you often feel pain in a certain part of your body, especially in joints, muscles, etc., it could be a sign of a disease such as arthritis, rheumatism, etc.
Long-term pain will not only affect your quality of life, but it can also trigger psychological problems, and it is important to get checked and ** as soon as possible for persistent physical pain.
Digestive problems often occur
If you often experience symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, etc., it may be a manifestation of diseases such as gastritis, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, etc.
Long-term digestive problems will not only affect nutrient absorption, but may also cause other health problems, so for digestive problems, it is important to seek medical examination as soon as possible for early ** and management.
Ongoing psychological problems
If you often experience symptoms such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, etc., it could be a sign of anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses.
Psychological problems can not only affect your emotional and mental health, but can also trigger physical problems, so for psychological problems, it is important to seek medical examination as soon as possible for early ** and management.
When people go to the hospital to see a doctor, doctors usually ask for blood tests, mainly because blood tests can provide important information about the patient's health and help doctors diagnose the condition accurately.
First of all, a blood test can detect indicators such as the patient's white blood cell count and red blood cell count, which can help the doctor determine whether the patient's immune system is normal, whether there are diseases such as anemia, and if these indicators are abnormal, the doctor can take corresponding measures in time to help the patient recover his health.
Secondly, blood tests can also detect the patient's biochemical indicators, such as blood glucose, blood lipids, liver and kidney function, etc., which can reflect the patient's metabolic status and organ function, which is of great significance for early detection and prevention of underlying diseases. If these indicators are abnormal, the doctor can adjust the ** plan in time to avoid the deterioration of the condition.
In addition, blood tests can also detect indicators such as viral antibodies in patients, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, AIDS, etc., which can help doctors determine whether a patient is infected with the virus, as well as the extent and contagiousness of the infection, which is of great significance for preventing and controlling the spread of the disease.
Be sure to choose the right time for your appointment
When seeking medical care, it is very important to choose the right time to see a doctor, and if you wish to make an appointment with a reputable specialist, you need to know their consultation hours, which are usually available on Mondays or Wednesdays.
If you're planning to see a doctor in the second half of the week, it may be more difficult to make an appointment with a specialist as this is a busy time for both patients and doctors.
In addition, if you need to have some tests that require fasting, it is best to go to the hospital on an empty stomach in the morning, so that you can avoid eating and affecting the results of the test, and will not delay the progress of the test.
Don't expect the doctor to smile at you
When we walk into the hospital and are confronted with busy doctors, we often hope that they will smile at us and give us more care and attention. However, we need to understand that doctors are not ordinary professions, they are facing people's lives and health, so they need to have a high degree of professionalism and responsibility.
Doctors have to face a variety of conditions and patients every day, and they need to concentrate, carefully analyze the condition, and formulate the best plan. In this process, the psychological pressure they are under is very huge, and they need to stay calm and rational, and not let their emotions affect the effect.
Of course, this does not mean that doctors do not have emotions, they are also human beings, and they have their own joys and sorrows. However, at work, they need to put their emotions aside for a while in order to better serve their patients. If a doctor welcomes you with a smile and cares, then it is likely that your condition is serious and needs more attention and care.
Choose the same doctor for follow-up appointments
When seeking medical attention for the first time, you may be hesitant to choose between a specialist and a regular number, however, understanding your medical condition is key to making an informed choice. If your condition is more complex or requires a more specialized diagnosis, it may be a better choice to choose an expert number, as specialists usually have more experience and in-depth expertise.
On the other hand, if you just need some basic medical consultation or routine check-ups, a regular number may be sufficient. It is important that once you have chosen a doctor, whether it is a specialist or a general practitioner, it is best to continue to see the same doctor at subsequent follow-up visits.
This is because the results of some tests may take a while to come out, and by the time you go to the doctor after the results are available, you may have changed to another doctor, which can be confusing and nervous if the two doctors give different diagnoses or recommendations. In order to ensure that your medical process goes smoothly, it is necessary to choose the same doctor for continuous diagnosis and **.
Don't make loud noises
A quiet environment is very important during the hospital visit, and the hospital is a place that needs to be kept quiet because there are many patients here, and doctors need to concentrate on dealing with each patient's condition.
Every doctor sees many patients in a day, and they need a quiet environment to diagnose and**. If you make a loud noise in the hospital, it will not only disturb the patients and doctors around you, but also cause resentment and disgust in others.
People will look at your behavior differently and even question your moral character. In addition, in the eyes of doctors, patients who are loud and loud can also make a bad impression on them. The doctor will think that you lack basic courtesy and respect, which can also have a negative impact on your condition**.
Don't stuff red envelopes with doctors
Formal medical institutions have clear regulations that doctors are not allowed to accept any form of red envelopes, and these regulations are not groundless, but based on the consideration of maintaining medical fairness and doctors' professional ethics.
If a doctor is found to have violated this rule, then his career could be severely hit by it. Therefore, from the doctor's point of view, they will not change their attitude towards patients because of the red envelope.
Make an appointment**
Now many hospitals have implemented an appointment system, which greatly reduces the time for patients to wait in line, and patients can make appointments through various channels such as hospital official ** and WeChat.
When making an appointment, you need to provide accurate personal information and medical needs, such as department, doctor, consultation time, etc., it is recommended to make an appointment one to two days in advance to avoid missing the consultation time.
Prepare the materials
Before going to the hospital, patients need to prepare relevant medical materials, including ID cards, medical insurance cards, medical records, examination reports, etc.
In addition, if it is a specific department, such as obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, etc., you may need to bring more relevant materials, such as B-ultrasound sheets, optometry sheets, etc.
Hours of appointment
Hospital hours vary depending on the department and doctor, but generally speaking, the morning consultation time starts at 8:00 and the afternoon starts at 13:30 or 14:00.
Patients are advised to confirm the appointment time and arrive at the hospital as early as possible to avoid missing the opportunity. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the doctor's schedule to avoid the situation of temporary suspension of the doctor.
Job title level
Chief physician is the highest rank in the doctor's title, which belongs to the senior level; The deputy chief physician is the deputy senior title, which is above the attending physician.
Responsibilities and Competencies
The chief physician often plays a leadership role in the medical team, responsible for the diagnosis and development of complex diseases, as well as teaching and scientific research.
They usually have extensive clinical experience and in-depth medical knowledge, and are able to deal with a wide range of intractable conditions.
The deputy chief physician is responsible for a certain range of medical treatment, teaching, scientific research and prevention work, and they also play an important role in clinical work, but their scope of responsibility may be slightly smaller than that of the chief physician.
When selecting the chief physician and deputy chief physician, patients should consider according to their own conditions and needs, and for complex diseases or incurable diseases, it is recommended to choose a chief physician with rich experience and deep medical knowledge.
For some common diseases or common conditions, the deputy chief physician can usually provide effective diagnosis and**.
When choosing a doctor, patients can also consider factors such as the doctor's professional background, patient evaluation, etc., in order to choose the most suitable doctor for them.
Understand and accept the professional role of the doctor
First of all, we need to recognize that doctors are a professional role, their main task is to diagnose and ** diseases, rather than focusing on the gender of the patient, and treating doctors as professionals helps us to let go of gender bias and embarrassment.
Be polite and respectful
When communicating with a doctor of the opposite sex, it is very important to be polite and respectful, communicate with the doctor with appropriate salutations and tones, and express your needs and concerns. This will help establish a good communication atmosphere and reduce awkwardness.
Focus on medical issues
During your appointment, try to focus on the medical issues and describe your symptoms, medical history, and concerns to the doctor in detail so that the doctor can provide you with an accurate diagnosis and recommendations, and avoid focusing on gender, which can help reduce embarrassment.
