I’m sure most people find this question a bit ridiculous, how come I can’t even see a doctor anymore, isn’t the question a bit too simple. Actually, no, it’s a really big problem!
In fact, whenever we are on the clinic, always feel particularly tired, for two reasons: one is the number of patients, in large hospitals many doctors registered full, the load of doctors is really large; its second there is a problem that we have not thought of, but the topic of the doctors always talk among themselves, is that patients will not see the doctor. I will talk about the following points you see if you also exist? Are they all doing well?
1. Preparation before seeing a doctor.
① dietary status: almost all diseases, such as liver disease patients generally require a light diet a day in advance, the day of fasting. Because the previous day’s diet and breakfast diet will affect many laboratory results, such as blood lipids, blood sugar, liver function, etc.;
② Information from previous visits, including previous outpatient records from other hospitals, various laboratory test reports, CT and MRI films, etc., which are of great significance for this visit. Because the doctor can make a preliminary judgment based on your previous medical records, may save a lot of examination costs, and the fact that most patients come to see the doctor without anything;
③The choice of hospital, the choice of doctor, these are also important. As an example, it is like dining out, choosing a restaurant is important, and going to school to choose a prestigious school. There is a brand good reputation of the restaurant to eat at ease; famous universities, famous masters can teach good students. Now the network to everyone please provide a very good searchable resources.
2.Preparation when visiting a doctor.
In large hospitals because of the number of people attending, many patients queuing for registration, queuing for laboratory tests, queuing for payment, queuing to see the doctor, wait until the doctor also do not know what to say, often three or five minutes to end, because the queue behind too many people, and they are not good to ask more. When the visit is over, leaving yourself with a lot of doubts, how can this work well? But if you are well prepared, although the time is short will receive equally good results.
So what do you have to do?
①Presentation of medical records prepared in advance;
② Preparation of language, this one is very important. As a patient, you need to address three questions.
a. What is your disease?
b. What is the extent of the disease?
c. What is the effect of the treatment?
As an outpatient doctor, you also need to clarify three questions for each patient: a. What is the diagnosis?
a. What is the diagnosis?
b. What is the severity of the disease?
c. Is outpatient treatment possible and does it require hospitalization? You see, in fact, the core meaning of the concerns of our doctors and patients is the same. To achieve these three points, the patient’s own account of his or her condition is most important. If you are a patient with acute hepatitis, you should tell the doctor how long you have been ill, how you felt at first, how your discomfort has evolved, how you feel now, how you eat and drink, and how you sleep.
For example, I have been drowsy and not wanting to eat for 2 weeks. I had a “cold” for 2 days at first, but I got better with some cold medicine, but I still feel more and more sleepy. With this description, it would be easy for the doctor to make a preliminary diagnosis with laboratory tests and to predict the severity of your condition and whether you need to be hospitalized. However, this is not the case in outpatient clinics. Many patients talk about their relatives and friends, about the situation at home and comments from friends, why this drug is used and not that one? What is the mechanism of action of the drug? Is it that you can definitely be cured? Many of the words are completely out of bounds, so that doctors do not know what to do, some questions are not the answer, really laughable, crying and laughable. Seeing the anxious waiting of many patients behind them, the doctor can only interrupt the patient’s statement and ask questions. This may occasionally miss some clues of the disease, resulting in a misdiagnosis or even a missed diagnosis.
③Preparation of necessary documents and expenses. Some patients are seriously ill and need to be hospitalized, but a significant number of patients are often unprepared. For chronic diseases is okay, but for acute diseases, critical diseases, such as acute liver failure, hospitalization is not allowed to be delayed for one minute.
3.Post-visit precautions.
① The medical record written by the doctor must be brought, many patients throw away their outpatient medical records at the end of the visit. If you are a patient with a chronic disease such as liver disease, this medical record is really important. When you take your past medical records to your next visit, the doctor will probably know about your previous visits, such as the characteristics of previous illnesses, laboratory results, and medications. So this time the consultation and examination will be much easier, and you may also save a lot of money on laboratory tests, especially since some antiviral drugs, such as nucleosides, cannot be stopped at will. Now you understand that the medical record is not only an important record of the patient’s visit, but also a very important document for the doctor’s own observation of the disease and analysis of the efficacy of the medication. In fact, less than 20% of the patients in our liver disease clinics are able to keep their medical records well, which is really too few.
②Dose and time of medication. These are generally well done by patients, the problem is that people who suffer from chronic diseases, many people think that the time of review told by the doctor is not important, neglected or forgotten. In fact, coming to the hospital for review at the time ordered by the doctor is also important for the assessment of the treatment effect and may affect your future treatment plan.
