It is an unwritten stereotype that elderly people will inevitably have three illnesses and two pains, and when they get sick, they go to the hospital, the doctor examines, confirms and prescribes medication, and the patient goes home to take the medication and gradually recovers. However, in the above many links, how to do scientific and reasonable, but not everyone is clear. This often produces many misunderstandings, resulting in delayed treatment. 1, blindly follow the advertising At present, medical advertising is overwhelming, mixed. Advertising is only a propaganda tool, and is not responsible for the efficacy. Now many media in order to make money, as long as the money to do advertising, regardless of whether it is really effective. Many “famous doctors” may not live up to their names, and there are many who disregard medical ethics for the sake of profit. In addition, some elderly people believe in the free checkups on the street. There is no free lunch anywhere, and their free checkups are often fake, with the ultimate goal of selling drugs. Blindly believe in advertising, free street check-ups, sickness, can only increase their financial burden and psychological pressure. 2, expensive medicine is the spirit of some elderly people are suffering from common common diseases, but always ask to eat high-priced imported drugs, with advanced antibiotics, they think that only expensive drugs are good drugs. In fact, drugs are only allopathic, not allopathic, and there is no “expensive” difference. If a drug is exactly for a certain disease, whether it is cheap or expensive, whether it is a new drug or an old drug, are good drugs. The expensive drugs and new drugs contain high advertising and research and development costs, so the price is higher, but the effect is not necessarily the best. 3, name the drug Some elderly people often deal with the hospital, perhaps because they hear others say that a certain drug works well, a hospital to name their own drugs. Since various diseases are constantly evolving, their symptoms, pathology and treatment responses are also very different, and the medicinal properties of various drugs are also extremely complex. Therefore, only a doctor can prescribe and treat the right medicine for your disease, what kind of disease you are suffering from, what medicine you should use, and how much medicine you should use. Naming the drug, not only is it difficult to use the drug appropriately, and once the accident, it is more difficult to find out the responsibility. 4, self-treatment As the saying goes, “a long illness becomes a good doctor”. Some elderly people read some medical books after getting sick and think they have become a half doctor. With their half knowledge of the disease, they go to the pharmacy to buy their own medicine to cure the disease. But often the effect is not good because the medicine is not right, and can even induce other diseases, or aggravate the condition. In addition, elderly patients read medical books, the right number, often to the most serious symptoms and consequences on the right, resulting in increasing psychological pressure, aggravating the condition. 5, unwilling to check Some elderly people think that anyway, are years of old problems, there is nothing to check, check and spend more money, prescribe drugs is the real cure, so only willing to spend money on drugs, refused to spend money to check the laboratory, refused to accept the necessary examination of medical personnel. Sometimes it is difficult to figure out the development of changes in the condition without examination, the condition is unclear, the treatment can be imagined. 6, refuse the necessary treatment Some elderly people do not respect the diagnosis of the doctor’s opinion, often self-righteous. Doctors prescribed drugs do not eat, doctors proposed treatment plans are not adopted, and even the necessary surgery are refused. This approach is wrong, will only delay the disease, and even endanger their lives. 7, unreasonable savings Some elderly people often ask doctors to try to prescribe less drugs, cheaper drugs, and even limit the amount of drugs prescribed by doctors, this is also very inappropriate. Because doctors must prescribe drugs according to the needs of the disease, only to ensure the effectiveness of the premise of saving money. Otherwise, what is the use of spending less money, although it can not cure the disease? At the same time, do so, a time to spend less money, but may drag the disease heavier, longer, the need to take drugs also dragged out the time, as a result, the total amount of medication does not reduce. 8, casually discard medical records medical records is the elderly precious health records and medical documents, some elderly people see a doctor for a new medical record. This habit of discarding medical records and checklists not only adds trouble to doctors’ diagnosis and medication, but also costs more money and makes it difficult to ensure continuous treatment of diseases. It is inevitable that people will suffer from one disease or another in their old age, and that they will have to deal with doctors. After the disease, the key is to maintain a good attitude, “out of the misunderstanding, learn to see the doctor”.
