How can I get seen by the intended specialist? (1) Direct registration: Get in line early. The specialist will have an added respect for the patient in the queue, because first you respect the doctor. (2) Make an appointment: Be sure to contact the registration office and make it in advance and several times. (3) Ask for an extra specialist: Doctors have limited time and energy, and there is still a lot of work to be done after an exhausting, dry-mouthed office visit. The extra number for you is in fact a sacrifice of the doctor’s personal health for your dedication. Expecting a doctor to “take a minute to look at me”, how can a doctor who has been working hard for half a day see you well? The truth is that doctors are compassionate and every specialist wants to treat as many patients as possible. What doctors hear and see most in their outpatient work is physical pain, mental suffering, social injustice, interpersonal indifference, broken families and hopeless futures …… Please understand that it is difficult for doctors who live with more tragedy and less comedy on a daily basis to be able to start again into the beginning of the next tragedy in a pleasant manner after having just experienced one. Suggestions for getting a doctor’s extra number: (1) Make a sincere request for an extra number before the doctor starts work, informing the specialist of the inconvenience of your visit. (2) Make the request sincerely between the time the patient enters and leaves the office. (3) After receiving permission, please make sure that you have your consultation materials ready and arrange them in order to hand them to the doctor at any time. ( 4) If it is late and the doctor is tired, it is best to ask him/her if you can arrange another time for the consultation. ( 5 ) Be sure to find out in advance if the doctor is good at treating your condition.
