First-time patients are often confused before they leave home: what information should they bring to their appointment? This is indeed a very important question. Hospital outpatient doctors have to see many patients continuously. It is necessary to make a correct initial diagnosis and treatment and guidance for the patient’s condition in a limited time. In the case of critical patients, priority must be given to emergency treatment. At this time, the doctor will be fully committed and work intensely. The full understanding and cooperation of other patients is also required. In the specialist outpatient clinic, there are often many foreign patients with heavy and complicated conditions. The doctor needs to understand the medical history of each patient in order to fully grasp the occurrence, development and treatment process of the disease. Previous medical records, laboratory and examination reports are all important information. Because patients have different medical conditions and have undergone different treatments, many have been bouncing around many medical institutions for years, with long disease courses and complicated medications. If the patient can review and organize the previous medical treatment, it is best to bring all the previous medical information, including: medical records of various hospitals, all the laboratory reports, even ultrasound, X-ray, CT reports, all the past medication records (even the remaining boxes of drugs, instructions), and even organized in chronological order as far as possible, these will be very helpful for the doctor to fully understand and grasp the patient’s condition. These will be very helpful for the doctor to fully understand and grasp the patient’s condition, and help to make timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment guidance. For our patients with chronic liver disease, most biochemical and virological tests require fasting blood specimens. Therefore, the first visit to the clinic should also be fasting in the morning, preferably before 10:00 a.m. (no report can be issued on the day of the blood draw after 11:00 a.m.), so that we can seek medical attention and examination in a timely manner.
