ஸ்பெஷலிஸ்ட்டை எப்போது, பார்க்க வேண்டும்..?
உடல் நலக்குறைவு ஏற்பட்டால் தானாகவே ஒரு பிரச்னையை முடிவு செய்துகொண்டு அதற்குரிய சிறப்பு மருத்துவரை பார்க்கும் வழக்கம் இப்போது அதிகரித்து வருகிறது. இது சரிதானா? பொது நல மருத்துவர் அரசு மோகனிடம் கேட்டோம்...
‘‘உடல் நலம் சார்ந்து என்ன பிரச்னையாக இருந்தாலும் முதலில் ஒரு பொது நல மருத்துவரைப் பார்ப்பதுதான் சிறந்தது. அவர்தான் உங்களுக்கு என்ன பிரச்னை என்பதை ஆராய்ந்து அதற்கேற்ற சிகிச்சையை வழங்குவார். பரிசோதனைகள் தேவை, மேல்சிகிச்சை தேவை என்கிற பட்சத்தில் அதற்குரிய சிறப்பு மருத்துவரையும் அவரே பரிந்துரை செய்வார். இதுதான் சரியான அணுகுமுறை.
தகவல் தொழில்நுட்ப உதவியால் மருத்துவம் சார்ந்த தகவல்களை படிக்கும் வாய்ப்பு இப்போது இருக்கிறது. அதன் எதிரொலியாக இதுபோல் முதலிலேயே சிறப்பு மருத்துவரைப் பார்ப்பது, சாதாரண பிரச்னைக்கு பயப்படுவது, பரிசோதனைகள் மேற்கொள்வது, ‘இது ஒரு பிரச்னைஇல்லை’ என்று அலட்சியமாக இருப்பது என பல தவறுகளை மக்கள் செய்கிறார்கள்.
வயிற்று வலி என்றால் எடுத்த உடனே இரைப்பை குடலியல் சிறப்பு மருத்துவரைப் பார்க்க வேண்டிய அவசியம் இல்லை. தேவை இல்லாத பரிசோதனைகளையும் செய்ய வேண்டியதில்லை. ‘ஒண்ணுமே இல்ல.. ஆனா அந்த டாக்டர் காசைப் புடுங்கிட்டார்’ என்று புலம்ப வேண்டியதும் இல்லை. அதனால், பொது மருத்துவரே உங்கள் முதல் மருத்துவர்’’ என்கிறார் அழுத்தமாக!
Two weeks ago my niece had an ear pain and went to a
ReplyDeletegeneral physician . Doctor found debris blocking her
ear and recommended a surgery at a hospital and
didn't bother to even refer her to the hospital. I
sent her to a specialist and she was given a good
check and medicines for two weeks were prescribed.
She was also told if the medicines don't work then
she will have to have some tests before the next
course of action. The patient is improving . And
a year ago this girl's sister suddenly lost her
speech and was rushed to the nearby general
physician who was a hospital doctor during the
day . He said , nothing to worry and no need to
take her to the hospital and gave her some
medicines . Two hours on, she was still in pain
and I saw her mouth was a little out of shape .
My wife and I quickly recognised that she has
had a stroke and immediately rushed her to the
hospital . The hospital did its best at
admission treating her for stroke and she was
saved . I have about seven experiences like
these and about five of them life threatening
if you were not AWARE OF YOUR HEALTH AND FULLY
DEPENDED ON THE DOCTORS. This is why some
people are opting to go to specialists even
for minor illnesses because there are some
doctors out there who don't know their job.
EVERYBODY BELIEVES IN HEAVEN BUT NOBODY
WANTS TO GO THERE EARLY ! First , specialist
and if that fails then heaven ok !
This issue is a common and national issue that everyone
ReplyDeleteneeds to be concerned of . But unfortunately , so far
only one comment ! And if the article is about a
Muslim , religion , Arab or Mosque then you would have
witnessed dozens of comments and counter ones ! THIS IS
WHERE MUSLIMS STAND IN OUR COUNTRY , CARRYING ALWAYS A
CHIP ON THE SHOULDER AND SHOUTING CROCODILE COMING !
CROCODILE COMING !
At 1st
ReplyDeleteHow can we decide specialists for symptoms we have on our own?
If we have medical knowledge then it will be ok sometimes
What abt others...........
How did you decide it's a stroke......?
Its impossible to decide the type of disease by the symptoms we have......
It can be decided by medical professionals only.......
Don't take decisions by your own.
A single disease can have lots of symptoms and otherway one symptom can lead to some various diseases. Final decision can only be taken by medical observations.
Therefore good idea is just go to a general physician and follow his guidance.
Thank you.
Riza ,
ReplyDeleteRead my full comment please . It is we who always decide
what to do when we fall ill . We don't treat ourselves
and we do not do any diagnosis and at the same time we
don't wait idle until it gets worse !Answer to your
question "how do you know?" is, through learning and by
experience ! Everybody must know ABOUT THE SYMPTOMS OF ,
STROKES,HEART ATTACKS , HEART DISEASES , CANCERS ,
ESPECIALLY BREAST CANCER , SIGNS OF KIDNEY FAILURE AND
SO ON . THEY ARE DEADLY . The quicker you identify
them the faster the RECOVERY . And the more you delay
the riskier the outcome . For example , breast cancer
is common today and it is treatable if identified in
the early stages and deadly if allowed to spread to
the bones with the passage of time . In this case ,
you are going to the doctor only after your own
doubts ! And how do you plan your visit to the doctor
without knowing the symptoms ? Every girl must
know about the signs of breast ,womb and a few more
common cancers that are common today . Mr Riza ,
medical opinions about diseases are changing almost
everyday and the treatment methods are also
changing AND REMEMBER , YOU NEED TO KNOW AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE ABOUT YOUR OWN SELF BEFORE THE DOCTOR TO
TALK TO HIM AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE .YOU DON'T NEED TO
BE A DOCTOR FOR THAT .
Riza ,
ReplyDeleteOne more thing that I forgot . Surgeries need patient's
consent . Why ? Because it is your life ! How do you
give your nod without knowing what is going to happen ?
REMEMBER THIS , DOCTORS HAVE NO RIGHT TO TOUCH YOU
WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT UNLESS IT IS AN EMERGENCY
SITUATION LIKE AN ACCIDENT OR WAR SITUATION WHERE YOU
ARE FIGHTING WITH YOUR LIFE . IN ALL OTHER SITUATIONS
WHERE YOU ARE FULLY CONCIOUS , YOU SHOULD AGREE FOR
THE SURGERY .
