1. Sorting out the problems you want to solve most,

Detailed Strategy for Medical Treatment in Various Subjects
With the progress of science, the branches of medical treatment are becoming more and more detailed. Generally speaking, they can be divided into internal medicine and surgery. Internal medicine is divided into various specialties such as heart, respiration and digestion. Surgery is also divided into general surgery, gynecology, otolaryngology and head and neck surgery, which deal with different diseases.
Each disease, due to its own characteristics, has its own requirements when visiting different departments.
Internal Medicine:
Mainly deals with hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, etc.
In terms of chronic diseases, common hypertension and diabetes actually require patients to record their daily blood pressure, blood sugar and medication. Blood sugar is recommended to be measured on an empty stomach one day a week. Blood sugar after three meals is not only measured on an empty stomach every day. As for blood pressure, it is required to be measured every day. With these, doctors can better help you.
Surgery:
It mainly deals with fracture, appendicitis, craniocerebral trauma, etc.

Women who have no sexual life and are pregnant for more than 12 weeks recommend abdominal gynecological (uterus, ovary) ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound needs to empty urine and after gynecological examination. Abdominal gynecological ultrasound needs to hold urine, and please do not deliberately empty urine before examination to prolong waiting time.
Pediatrics:
In addition to pediatric surgery, it can be called pediatric general practice. Almost any discomfort of children belongs to pediatrics.

If children come to see a doctor because of infectious diseases such as hand, foot and mouth, pay attention to wearing masks and washing hands frequently to avoid cross infection.
Finally, it is not a matter for one person to see a doctor and treat him. Try to get the support of his family. After listening to the doctor’s advice, when deciding to adopt a certain treatment method, it is best to let the family’s opinions agree with you, so as to reduce the communication cost between the doctor and the family and allow the doctor to spend more time on the treatment of patients.
