Going to the doctor can be a time-consuming and costly affair. Especially for out-of-town patients, a lot of time is often spent in registering and waiting for tests. The time to actually meet the doctor face-to-face is very short, and as the patient is anxious, so is the doctor. How to solve the most problems in more than ten minutes, from the doctor’s point of view to recommend some methods, I hope it can be helpful to patients and friends. 1.If it is the first time for a patient from abroad to visit a big hospital, it is recommended not to wait hard for the expert number. You can first register a general number to clarify the basic problem, which department you should see and which tests to do. In this way, you can save time while doing the examination and registering for a specialist number. 2, if the time is tight, the financial is still generous patients, can go to the special needs clinic registration. Many hospitals have special needs clinics that can be booked in advance, so that fewer patients will have more time to visit the clinic. Don’t buy a number from a trafficker to prevent falling for it. For general outpatient clinics, you can call 114 to make an appointment a week in advance. 3. Bring all the previous examination data. Many patients say in the clinic that they have done many tests before and don’t need to do them anymore. It is not that the doctor does not believe, but these data are very valuable for reference, the doctor needs to know the specific items, specific values, trends, etc., to make a better judgment of the disease. If there is a lot of information, it is recommended to do a good job of marking, organized in chronological order, so that the doctor also looks much more convenient. 4. Provide a detailed medical history. Some patients have complex conditions that cannot be described in three or two sentences, so record your situation in advance and bring it to the doctor. Problems that need to be solved can also be written in advance so that they are not forgotten when the time comes. Some patients think that the information and medication used in visits to other hospitals and doctors may interfere with the doctor’s judgment and thus withhold this information. Do not do this. Because the records of other doctors will provide reference for the next doctor, some information is still valuable, but doctors will finally draw conclusions based on their own analysis and judgment, and will not follow blindly. 5. Other people may not help much on behalf of the consultation. Patients from out of town are not convenient to come, so they can ask their family members or friends to bring the information to see the doctor. And a complete consultation process includes asking medical history, physical examination and laboratory tests. If you can’t come in person, you can’t complete the first two, and the quality of your visit is greatly compromised. As in the case of online consultation, the doctor can only provide a general opinion and cannot rely entirely on this information. 6. Patient education and self-management. Outpatient time is limited, and it is impossible to get all the information about the specific causes of the disease, diet, life, medication, etc. In fact, many hospitals have free patient classes, scientific lectures and other activities, which you can be informed from the mass media. Don’t miss these opportunities to communicate with doctors face to face. On these occasions, you can also meet more patients and exchange experiences and insights on treating and seeing patients. There are also many patient-organized forums on the Internet, where mutual help is more beneficial to patients’ recovery.
