How should you communicate with your medical doctor?
It is recommended you list your problems or issues in a written document. It is recommended you list your problems or issues with help from someone comparatively more educated in the English language in a written document if you cannot do it yourself. Once you prepare a written document, forward it to admin@qureshiuniversity.com or a medical doctor you feel comfortable with. If communications are blocked, file a complaint. Do you have a list of problems or questions that you need to communicate to your medical doctor? Are you taking any medication now? What is your education level? Do you have a list of medicines you are taking now that you need to communicate to your medical doctor? Do you need help in listing the problems, questions you are having? What questions should you ask your medical doctor? You need to consider questions relevant to two settings: primary health care scenario and emergency health care scenario. Primary health care does not mean you will set an appointment face-to-face and reveal only then your problems and issues to the medical doctor. You or someone on your behalf can initiate an e-mail, fax, call, or postal mail. An appointment may be required once a year in a primary health care setting. You should answer all relevant questions, then a medical doctor can help you. You need to go through http://www.qureshiuniversity.com/healthcareworld.html. Your problems and issues may already have been answered. You may not visit an emergency health care provider often, However, this is essential to verify if competent emergency pre-hospital, medical emergency room, and other hospital services are in the area with competent medical doctors. You also can have long distance health care consultations to verify if local guidelines are up to standards. If Your Doctor Prescribes a Medication, Ask: What are the benefits and risks of taking this medication? When will the medication start working? How will I know if it's working? What will it feel like to be on this medication? What are the possible side effects? Will they go away over time? What should I do if I experience them? How long will I need to take this medication? Will I be able to stop taking it eventually? Should I avoid particular foods or other things, such as other medications? What if it doesn't work? Is there something else I can do? |
