When it comes to this issue, some people may say, “What’s so difficult about it, just wait in line at the hospital and register,” but most people who say this are those who have not really seen a doctor. A larger portion of people, especially some of the “old patients” who often go to the hospital and some patients who are suffering from larger diseases that require further examination and treatment in the hospital will have similar lamentations. It’s hard to see a doctor now!
First, I don’t know how to look. Secondly, I don’t know which hospital to go to and who to go to. On the one hand, a few big hospitals, where the outpatient halls are crowded, overcrowded, waiting for a variety of tests, laboratory tests and medication, treatment queues are long and time-consuming, a set of processes down, accompanied by the health of the patient are exhausted, and the patient is overwhelmed. Another part of the relatively small fame of the large hospitals to see fewer people, and therefore is also relatively convenient.
The reasons for this situation are related to the following factors.
1, is the brand effect of the hospital for many years.
2, is that some hospitals do not have enough publicity and shaping of self-image.
3. The current allocation of health resources in China is not reasonable.
4, due to our lack of effective publicity and scientific guidance to the public, resulting in the public has an extremely irrational concept of medical consumption. The result is that these hospitals are overcrowded, the medical staff is fatigued, the patients are suffering, and there are hidden dangers in medical safety.
So how to see a doctor, to which hospital to see who?
First: you can’t just go to a big, famous, specialized.
That is, only to the specialist hospital, only to the big and famous hospital to find the famous experts. Because more than 90% of the diseases we face are some common diseases, multi-morbidity, really belong to the medical definition of the difficult disease is a minority. As a sensible patient just look for a hospital that is closer to home, more satisfactory service, relatively more economical, and can provide you with peace of mind, convenience, and satisfaction in the medical process. Don’t get into everything and look for a brand name, as long as you can actually solve the problem.
Second: find a responsible specialist.
Generally speaking, a doctor who has been working in a tertiary hospital specialty for about ten years should be considered a more competent specialist. He can give you good guidance on diagnosis and treatment. A dedicated specialist will help you no less than a big expert who makes you queue for half a day and only a few minutes to see you.
Third: you can’t trust your friends or neighbors to see a doctor.
Although your friends or neighbors around you is out of good intentions, but after all, he is not a doctor, medicine is a very professional industry, a certain technology or treatment effect, are the results of a large number of statistics. All have a scientific basis. The information conveyed to you by a layman is less scientific and more biased, and it is difficult for you to draw the right conclusions based on the wrong information. As a result, you are likely to choose an inappropriate treatment method and to miss your condition. So this is “good intentions” to do “bad things”. As the old saying goes, “A line of work is like a mountain,” which is also true. This is a common occurrence in clinical care and a painful lesson. I hope the majority of patients and friends to take a warning. The best way is to follow the advice of your specialist. If you still have questions you can consult several doctors.
Fourth: You can’t listen to the advertisements when you see a doctor.
The reasoning is simple. Advertising is a commercial act, its primary purpose is to make money, it is loud and powerful, but less practical. Medical treatment is not a commercial practice, its primary purpose is to cure the disease rather than to make money, is not allowed to advertise, it is not loud, but it is indeed objective, practical, responsible.
Fifth: Do not believe in the apotheosis of natural is non-toxic.
In reality, we always hear a lot of irresponsible business, advertising advocate a certain drug belongs to the pure natural non-toxic negative effects, can be taken for a long time, some even say that this drug can have disease cure without disease fitness, which is extremely irresponsible propaganda. This is common knowledge, many natural drugs can cause great damage to the human organs and systems, and some are even fatal, which is a recognized fact in the medical community. Therefore, it is said that any drug should not be taken for a long time, and the public should understand this.
Sixth: You should see a doctor with a normal heart.
Medicine has always been a complex discipline, full of unknowns, changes and risks. Although medicine is now much more developed than before, there are still many diseases whose diagnosis is difficult to clarify and many diseases whose treatment is unsatisfactory. For example, advanced tumors, AIDS, genetic defects, severe trauma, infections, etc. are well known. The phenomenon of life is as mysterious, unknown and changing as the universe in which we live. People should have a more objective understanding of life, old age, sickness and death. The treatment of many diseases is risky and uncertain. Disease is an enemy that doctors and patients face together, so the goals of both doctors and patients are the same. The patient focuses on the outcome of the medical treatment, while the doctor focuses on the process. Understanding such common sense will allow us to have a normal mindset in the process of medical treatment, avoiding haste and reducing doctor-patient disputes. Let the doctor and patient together to create a humanistic medical environment. This is really in line with the fundamental interests of the majority of patients.
I hope the above suggestions can keep you away from blind obedience and the resulting unnecessary pain and trouble, so that calm, thoughtful and sensible accompany you on the road to scientific, convenient and satisfactory medical treatment.
