These things you should know about going to the doctor

  This problem seems to be very simple, just go directly to the hospital, the actual process of consultation many people have encountered some annoying trouble.  1, on the preparation: for emergency patients, due to sudden onset of illness requires medical treatment, this there is no way to do too much preparation, immediately call 120 or reach the emergency room for treatment. For general patients should pay attention to the preparation of medical items: wear loose and easy to take off clothing, ID card, medical insurance card or agricultural cooperation book, previous examination reports, hospitalization records, the current medication, which is the process of consultation or hospitalization need to use things.  2, on the consultation department: such as in the township health center, then most doctors are multi-faceted, there is no question of which department to go to. In the county hospital subspecialties are relatively less detailed, but it should be noted that for children under 14 years of age, in addition to special diseases, the first visit to the pediatrician, female lower abdominal discomfort, abnormal menstruation, pregnancy, etc. need to go to the obstetrics and gynecology can be consulted, for pain affected by activity, trauma, abnormal swelling, etc. you can feel the location of the lesion, to the surgery; for pain not affected by activity, chest and abdominal discomfort For pain not affected by activity, chest and abdominal discomfort, and head discomfort, go to internal medicine. For higher-level hospitals with more detailed subspecialties, those who do not have any experience in treating their own diseases can consult the hospital’s outpatient guide desk, and the medical staff will inform you of the departments you can consult.  3, about the examination: because for older patients, clear about their disease situation, the possible examinations expected, can be prepared according to the examination items, for example, most blood tests are recommended to be done on an empty stomach, gastroscopy requires an introducer to clean out the intestines before the examination, and gynecological examinations need to be done after menstruation. For some large examinations such as MRI, it is required that no metal objects can be carried. Patients with pacemakers cannot do MRI, and CT angiography and enhancement examinations use iodine preparations, so patients with iodine allergy cannot undergo such examinations.  4.About hospitalization: After hospitalization, the doctor will ask the patient’s general situation and condition in detail again, which contains a lot of contents, so you need to inform the doctor truthfully. After admission to the hospital, you should complete the medical insurance/agricultural cooperation procedures even if you are admitted, which is generally required to be done as soon as possible within three days, as denial will reduce the reimbursement ratio. During hospitalization, it is best to be able to stay in the ward at night, especially for patients whose condition is not very clear and unstable, and if they feel unwell, they should call the medical staff to check and deal with them in time. If you do need to go out, you should inform the nurse and give contact information and fill out a leave slip. Before discharge, you should effectively inform the doctor in charge of the hospital of your wish to be discharged, and the doctor in charge will arrange a suitable time for discharge. You can bring the required amount of oral medication on the day of discharge.  5.About reimbursement: The reimbursement procedures for medical insurance and agricultural cooperative should be handled promptly after admission. For patients who visit the hospital from abroad, they are usually required to make copies of relevant information for local reimbursement, in which case they need to communicate with the doctor in charge and issue relevant certificates. It should be noted that accidents involving third party liability and disputed diseases are not able to use the basic medical insurance. Other insurance policies, such as Worker’s Compensation Insurance and Maternity Insurance, are also not covered by basic medical insurance. Commercial insurance and basic medical insurance do not conflict, but you need to understand in detail the scope of commercial insurance and reimbursement materials required.  6, about the relationship between medical and nursing: Although there are many negative news reports, but engaged in this line of work we know that those are very few cases, most medical and nursing workers are very dedicated. In the process of communication with medical and nursing staff try to avoid some hostile language, encounter problems first communicate with the doctor in charge, if the doctor in charge is off duty, you can reflect with the nurse on duty, doctor. Reasonable requests will surely get a satisfactory answer soon. Long-term medical work has brought us into contact with all kinds of patients and families, so we have all developed a pair of golden eyes of flame. For some bad communication and grumpy patients’ families, most people will consciously avoid them, so being overly assertive during the consultation process will not make your consultation process smoother. If there is a real problem, you can respond to the governing body after you have dealt with it properly.
