Frequently Asked Question
FAQ of General Medicine
General practitioners and internists are primary care physicians who provide comprehensive medical care. They diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions, and they also emphasize preventive care.
You should see a GP or internist for routine check-ups, vaccinations, common illnesses (like colds and flu), chronic conditions (such as diabetes or hypertension), and general health concerns.
The frequency of check-ups may vary based on your age, medical history, and risk factors. Generally, adults should have a preventive check-up once a year or as recommended by their doctor.
A typical check-up may include measurements of vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate), a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and discussions about your overall health.
If you have concerns about a diagnosis or treatment plan, it’s acceptable to seek a second opinion from another qualified physician.
Prepare a list of questions and symptoms to discuss, bring a list of current medications and allergies, and be ready to provide your medical history.
