Description
NEARLY ALL OF US, no matter how healthy, have to see a doctor at some time in our lives. It may just be a matter of routine, such as a vaccination, developmental check or common illness of childhood. Later in life there may be a medical check-up for insurance purposes, a blood test before getting married or the special care needed during pregnancy. Some people will go and see the doctor with a specific pain or discomfort, while others just feel generally unwell. Many patients have a nagging and ill-defined worry which they want to talk through with a doctor and often advice and support are needed more than a course of drugs. Whatever it is that makes you decide to consult a doctor, a good relationship with trust and understanding on both sides can be crucial to the successful treatment of your problem. To achieve this it is important to understand how the doctor finds out what is wrong with you and how he or she decides what to do.ISBN:9781861609014
