How to get help from your doctor faster and more efficiently

  First of all, I would like to apologize to all my friends, because I work in a military hospital, I often receive some orders that I can’t understand, such as not being able to just go on social medical websites, so I haven’t visited this website for a long time, I may not respond to many friends’ inquiries for a long time, I really can’t help myself, I sincerely apologize here, please forgive my friends, this situation will continue, you know this.  Today I would like to talk about some of the issues regarding the consultation, which may help your friends to get better help from the doctor during the consultation. First of all, one’s own appearance and neatness is important, it is a matter of self-respect, any person will respect a self-respecting person, and doctors are no exception. It does not matter if your clothes are worn out, your face and hands and feet must be washed. In the consultation room, you may need to undress and take off your shoes for examination, and although a professional doctor will not show dislike to your face, no one can remain calm for a long time under the pungent odor of pure personal hygiene uncleanliness.  Secondly, a hello after entering the consultation room, hard work, will immediately close the distance between you and the doctor, so that the doctor feels that you are a humane person. I am afraid that doctors are the only ones in the world who have to listen to other people’s complaints and grievances every day, and not just one or two sentences, but endlessly, week after week, no matter how full of positive energy they have, I am afraid that in the long term consumption is not much left, doctors also need a little recharge from you.  When you enter the consultation room, please try to express your symptoms, not to say that you have any disease. A qualified doctor must only trust his or her own judgment.  You may have seen a lot of doctors and looked up a lot of information on the Internet, but you are not here to debate with this doctor. You have explained your symptoms, shown all the available information, and mainly listened patiently to this doctor’s suggestions and opinions. Please try not to question the doctor after each sentence, saying that a doctor I saw originally said something different from your explanation, etc. Doctors have different experiences, different academic backgrounds, and different understandings and treatments on many issues, which is what makes medicine so complex and esoteric. If there are standard answers, then just search directly through Baidu or google, why bother going to the hospital. In China, there are many Chinese hospitals and doctors, Chinese and Western medicine are two completely unrelated systems, let the Western doctors to explain to you the Chinese medicine, a bit of chicken and duck talk.  It is best not to let the doctor touch any part of your body during the consultation. The only place where you can make a diagnosis with a touch is in a footwash or blind massage parlor. The doctor often from the moment the patient enters the consultation room to make a judgment on many aspects of the patient, medical examination methods have a very strong logical and directional, not necessarily which pain touch which.  The specialist number is always bad, sometimes always can not get a number, ask a specialist to add a number is not a difficult thing, in general a sincere request will always get a satisfactory return. But some friends often like to say “I’m from far away, Baodi, add a number for me!” when asking for a specialist. or “I’ve been waiting for half a month, but I can’t get a number, please add a number for me! Others said, “This is very simple, just take a look, it won’t take up too much of your time, add a number for me! And so on and so forth, so insincere requests, how can I be willing to give you an extra number? Beijing several large hospitals surgeons whose work is busy, in addition to Li Keqiang, may really find few people can compare, they are not only outpatient these few hours, there are a lot of ward work waiting, really not idle waiting for you to see the chatter. If someone says, “Dr. Lu, I have a spinal problem, I have all the information and films, I found out through the Internet that you are an expert in this area (or so-and-so introduced me to you), I would like to hear your opinion, but I have not been able to get your number, please help me to add a number, thank you.” I would be happy to give an extra number. Half of a doctor’s life is in hell, don’t try to get sympathy from your doctor by saying how miserable you are, doctors have seen more misery than you could ever imagine. Doctors are looking to do their best to rely on their expertise to give help to those who deserve it, so a sincere request is the best way to get an extra number.  These are a few things for you to learn from, and I hope that everyone is healthy enough to not come to the hospital, and that it’s best to not even come to the doctor if you can.  (After that, I hope to send some surgical pictures of new techniques and difficult cases one after another, including some non-fusion minimally invasive techniques, radical resection of spinal tumors, radical resection of sacral tumors, orthopedic deformity of extremely severe thoracic spine or cervicothoracic segment, etc., so that it is easy for your friends to refer to them)
