How easy is it to get to the clinic?

  ”People eat grains and cereals, which is not sick?” This is the proverb we often say. Indeed, people will always get sick in their life, big or small, then dealing with hospitals and doctors becomes inevitable. Today, we all know that it is difficult to see a doctor, the big hospitals are overcrowded and doctors have limited time to see patients. How to get a consultation may seem simple, but it is not easy. Seeing a doctor requires not only finding the right doctor, but also preparing yourself. Here we will talk about how to see a doctor as a patient.  Preparation before consultation: 1. Registration: Many patients only know where they are not feeling well, but they are not sure which department they should register. If you can’t get the right number, it not only affects your consultation, but also delays the doctor’s time. Each hospital has a consultation desk in the outpatient lobby. If you are not sure which department you should see, you can go to the hospital’s consultation desk and they will help with triage so as to avoid registering the wrong number and delaying your condition.  2. Consultation time: Please check the consultation time of the doctor you are looking for from the hospital’s official website to avoid the situation that the doctor you are looking for is not available during the consultation. Many large hospitals in Beijing have half-day clinics on Saturdays and Sundays, so if you choose to visit a doctor on the weekend, please arrange your time wisely.  3., laboratory tests: some laboratory test results may not be available on the same day, patients who come to Beijing from abroad, if you can get the test results from the local laboratory, please bring the test results to the clinic to save time.  4.Information: If you have already done the test, please bring the test report to the doctor for reference to avoid repeated tests.  5.Documents: Bring all the documents, ID card, medical insurance card can not be missing, in general, the process of hospital visits are, first to build a card, is to improve your basic information, ID card, medical insurance card is the basic information.  6, choose the hospital: (1) emergency: the nearest choice, emergency treatment, can not handle and then transferred to the hospital.  (2) serious and difficult cases: you can choose a large hospital, its medical resources are relatively abundant, more authoritative in diagnosis and treatment. Disadvantages: many patients, difficult to register.  Communication during the consultation: 1. Be familiar with the medical history and treatment process: You should accurately express your past history. The doctor will be able to make an accurate judgment more quickly by giving a clear account of the examinations and tests done, the drugs used and the dosage.  2, treatment compliance: changes in the disease should be timely communication with the doctor, so as to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner.  3, regular follow-up: follow-up is the need for the condition, regular outpatient consultation and listen to the doctor’s advice and adjustment of treatment, early detection, early intervention, early treatment, etc..  It should be emphasized that many large hospitals have a large number of patients, and it must be admitted that the time for communication between doctors and patients is relatively short, so patients and their families can make a list of the questions they need to ask first, to avoid the situation of seeing a doctor and not asking questions clearly, and repeatedly coming back to ask questions. This will not only solve the patient’s problems but also allow the doctor to focus on seeing other patients. After all, we all have the same desire, each patient wants to learn more about the condition, find a treatment, and cure it as soon as possible.  Treatment after the visit: If you have doubts about the diagnosis and treatment plan you have received, then you may be advised to refer to a higher level hospital. If it is approved, try to follow the doctor’s prescription and review it regularly to avoid the situation that the treatment is not effective due to non-compliance with the doctor’s prescription.  Especially for some tertiary hospital visits, there are many patients with tricky problems, especially for off-site visits. Therefore, being well prepared not only makes the visit more effortless, but also more efficient in communication with the doctor, in addition, it is also more conducive to the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment of the condition. I hope this guide to seeing a doctor will help, and I sincerely hope that everyone will be healthy and that patients will recover soon.
