When you visit a doctor, even in an emergency, the doctor will not give you immediate relief from pain.
Pain, is a gift from nature to man, although it is a gift that no one wants. Pain is the body’s fire alarm, an important signal for diagnosing disease and judging its progress, a direct report from the part of your body that is sick to your doctor. A doctor cannot help a patient with pain until there is a clear diagnosis, just as we cannot hang up the fire alarm call easily without identifying the location of the reported fire. You or your family member may be in pain on the examination bed, and the doctor may still be indifferent and touch this or that with his or her hand, or even press hard to ask if you are in more pain, so please tell the doctor how you feel.
Another point worth making, and one that needs to be emphasized to junior doctors, is that the kind of patient who shows pain and screams loudly, on the other hand, also shows that they have a strong life force, while another type of patient who is pale and silent is more likely to have a life-threatening condition. So when you see a doctor in the emergency room disregarding your loudly screaming companion and going to see another quiet patient, don’t try to stop the doctor.
Attitude
If you do not have a high income and do not live well, please speak directly to your doctor and I believe that many doctors will give you relatively inexpensive drugs and treatments as I did. But at the same time relatively cheap drugs also mean a difference in efficacy, especially in side effects.
If you are stuck in a traffic jam, can’t find a parking space, are freezing in front of the registration office, or sitting in the clinic all morning with nothing to do, please try not to take out your frustration on the doctor who is seeing you.
Many times a doctor’s attitude is determined by the department, and the more urgent and life-threatening the department, the more indifferent or even nasty the doctor’s attitude. It is impossible for a doctor to speak to a family in the emergency room in a pleasant manner, there is and only is a stern voice ordering the family to do something. Doctors do not and should not treat patients as if they were their own loved ones. In fact, many doctors are afraid to operate on their own loved ones because emotional factors may cloud their judgment.
I hope you will understand that a doctor’s attitude has no direct relationship to the level of medicine.
Expectations
There are quite a few diseases for which it is not possible to eliminate the cause, such as the common hypertension, diabetes, glaucoma, rheumatoid …… Nowadays, medicine is not able to solve these problems either. What doctors can provide is a way to control the progress of the disease as much as possible, so that the disease is harmless; lowering your blood pressure to normal means that you are less likely to die from brain hemorrhage decades later Lowering your blood pressure to normal means that you are less likely to die from a brain hemorrhage decades later; lowering your eye pressure to the target eye pressure means that the rate at which you lose your vision can be slowed or even stopped. What you will find with your doctor is not necessarily a way to beat the disease, but often to learn how to live with it.
Just because there is a “hope” for a disease in the news or in the newspaper does not mean that it will actually be available to you in the hospital. Medicine is a very conservative discipline, and it takes years, decades or even decades of research to determine a treatment, and at least a decade of experimentation and approval before a new drug is available in the hospital pharmacy.
Even after all those years of research, it is still impossible to guarantee a 100% cure for your disease, absolutely impossible. A cure is not the same as getting a car repaired; you don’t just pay for it and get a repaired car.
Please always remember: it is absolutely impossible to get a guaranteed cure and absolutely impossible to guarantee that there is no risk when you spend money.
In case you get such a guarantee from the doctor, it means that
a) the doctor is reassuring you.
b) the one talking to you is not a doctor at all.
Informed consent
As mentioned above, you can never be guaranteed a cure and there is absolutely no guarantee that there is no risk. Before an invasive procedure or surgery, the doctor will show you an informed consent form. This informed consent is like the “risky investment” you hear when you buy stocks or funds, it is to inform you of the possible risks.
1. Every risk written on the informed consent form is a real risk that has happened to at least one real patient who has actually suffered from it.
2. The risks that appear on the informed consent form will continue to help you to the best of your ability once they occur.
Self-evident axioms
1. People are going to be sick.
2. People are going to get sick and die.
Perhaps the difference between a normal person and a sick person, or even a cancer patient, is in some ways the difference in 5-year survival rate, and both are less than 100%.
