The doctor will ask detailed questions about your current health concerns. Be prepared to describe your symptoms, including when they started, their severity, and any other details you think might be relevant.
The doctor will inquire about your overall medical history, including past illnesses, surgeries, medications you’re currently taking, and any allergies you have.
Physical Examination: (This may not be necessary for all consultations)
The doctor will perform a physical examination to gather more information about your condition. This might involve checking your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature), listening to your lungs and heart, and examining other relevant areas depending on your symptoms.
Based on the discussion and examination, the doctor might recommend further tests to get a clearer picture of your condition. These tests may include blood tests, urine tests, X-rays, scans (such as CT scans or MRIs), or other specialised tests, depending on your situation. The doctor will explain the rationale behind each test and answer any questions you may have.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan:
Once the doctor has reviewed all the information, they will discuss their diagnosis with you in clear and understandable terms. They’ll explain the likely cause of your condition and answer any questions you have about it.
Based on the diagnosis, the doctor will develop a personalised treatment plan. This plan might involve medications, lifestyle changes, referrals to specialists, or further investigations depending on the condition. The doctor will explain the treatment options in detail and discuss the potential benefits and side effects of each approach.
Support and Next Steps: The doctor or support staff will address any questions you might have about the next steps, including:
Admissions: If your treatment requires hospitalisation, the staff will explain the admission process and answer any related questions.
Insurance and Financing: They can help you understand insurance coverage for your treatment and discuss financing options if needed.
Scheduling Follow-up Appointments: Our staff will assist you in scheduling any necessary follow-up appointments to monitor your progress or receive further treatment.
