What to look for at the first visit

  Many out-of-town patients come to the clinic, the following information will hopefully give you some help and improve the efficiency of your visit.       Be sure to bring the previous tests done at the local hospital, orthopedic patients especially imaging films must be brought (not report cards, which are descriptions of radiologists and do not have much reference value). Often patients think that large hospitals do not recognize the films of small hospitals, or worry about the poor quality of the films and want to re-examine them again in large hospitals. This view is not true, old films can provide more information to the doctor, and it will be more efficient to choose further tests according to the condition.
