I often hear friends in gynecology clinics complain about how difficult it is to see a doctor, sometimes it takes several days, especially for those who live in other places, and the consultation is very troublesome. In order to “speed up”, we need good cooperation between doctors and patients, so let’s talk about what patients should do before going to the clinic! Adjustment of mental state Some patients are easily nervous, and when they talk to the doctor, their heart rate will increase, they will sweat, their blood pressure will rise, and sometimes they will not be able to say a word about their condition that they are ready to say, which will affect the effect of the consultation. These patients should rest and sleep as well as possible the night before the consultation, and come to the clinic some time earlier the next day, preferably sitting quietly in the waiting room for more than half an hour before coming to the clinic. When talking to the doctor, you can slow down your speech and answer the doctor’s questions correctly, so that your emotions will slowly calm down. With such a good experience, the nervousness of future visits can be gradually eliminated. Some patients are careless and in a very passive position during the consultation and cannot tell the doctor about their condition accurately, especially those who have been ill for a long time, such as those with bad menstruation, and cannot provide detailed information about their illness, the results of the tests they have done, the medications they have taken, etc. A detailed and prepared medical history is very important for the diagnosis of the disease. The doctor can only make a diagnosis and treatment decision on the same day in order to clarify your condition through further examinations, a process that takes longer and may not be possible. Because there are some tests that need to be done early in the morning on an empty stomach or several days before the results are available, this inevitably increases the number of your visits. Therefore, we often remind patients to bring their previous case information to their next visit, as this will save you visits and time, and will facilitate the doctor’s ability to make a comprehensive judgment. The first step is to organize the information related to your disease: make a general organization and summary of your disease process. It is best to organize the information in chronological order, including the characteristics of the beginning of the disease, your feelings, the process of previous visits (including visits to all other hospitals), the treatment process, the tests you have had, the medications you have taken, and so on. For patients with longer illnesses or those who have difficulty expressing themselves in words, it is best to ask family members to write them out in writing. It is especially important to bring all your medical records, labs, ultrasounds, X-rays, CT films, MRI films, and examination reports from your previous visits to the doctor. If you can’t remember the name of the medication you are taking, it is very important to bring the medicine box and bottle to the doctor. In the case that the patient can not remember the name of the drug and did not tell the doctor, the doctor certainly does not know that the patient is taking this drug, if this time prescribed the same drug (the same chemical composition, but different trade names or different packaging of drugs), the patient will take the same drug on top of the original drug doubled, resulting in an overdose, the risk of adverse drug reactions will be greatly increased, or even life-threatening. Of course, patients also need to decide whether they need to be accompanied by family members based on their age, the severity of their illness, whether they can take care of themselves, whether they have speech and vision impairments, and whether they can understand and follow medical instructions.
