How To Get The Most Of Your Doctor Visit

Wednesday, November 10, 2010 posted by healthy 3:04 pm

For some people. Going to the doctor is a stressful action to do. Just thinking about those sharp needles or the bitter drugs can make some of us shiver in fear.
Moreover, with the sky-rocketing prices of medicine and medical services these days (as a result of the economic crisis), people are getting more and more reluctant to go to the doctor, especially when they feel that the illness is not the one they think is fatal.
These conditions are not the ones that anyone can help. However, you can’t avoid doctors when you really need them. And as a doctor in training, I can offer some insider’s tips on how to get the most of your doctor visit. After all, you must want precious money to get the best medical service it can buy, right?

1. Look for a Communicative Doctor
In medical school, we are taught that we should ask as many questions to the patients as we can. Sixty percent of the diagnose of the illness depends on the anamnesis. A good doctor is one who is communicative, willing to spend enough time to talk to the patients, opening a two-way conversation with his patients.
A waiting room filled with patients or doctors who work until midnight to accommodate all of their patients are not necessarily signs that these doctors are the best.
A real-life example is my own grandma, whose optitrician is so famous that he has a lot of patients waiting to be treated by him. In effect, he only spends five or so minutes with each of his patients. This might work for some people, but my grandma always doubt his diagnose. As she puts it: “How can a five minute talk and examination give him enough information about my illness to determine the diagnose?”
This rouses her distrust of the doctor, and in the end, her distrust prevent her from getting well. Not because the doctor’s drugs are not effective, but because of the psychological state my grandma is in.
The bottom line is, five minutes is not enough for a doctor to determine a diagnose, but don’t expect him to spend half an hour with you, either. You are not the only patient he has to treat that day.

2. Ask Questions
Contrary to the popular belief, doctors will not feel bothered if their patients ask them questions (about their illness). A good doctor will even go in length explaining all there is to know about your condition. Because patients who know exactly what their ailment is and why the doctor advises them to do certain things (like ‘don’t smoke’ ; don’t eat anything chilly, etc) are more likely to obey whatever the doctor had told them.
You should ask questions to your doctor. Then, again, remember that you are not the only patient the doctor has to see. So choose your questions carefully and ask only the important matters, for example: ‘what exactly is my sickness? ; Why are you giving me that advice? What good will that do for me? ; could you explain the nature of my illness?’
It would be a good thing if you have tried to find out some information about your condition beforehand (from some medical books, for example), so you will know exactly what questions you must ask your doctor. Readmore…

Stop HIV AIDS

Even if by some miraculous measure we can completely cut off all the possible ways that HIV AIDS can be spread, we will still see a sharp increase in the number of people with HIV AIDS five years from now.
This is the statement made by Doctor Suharto, SpKO, DPH from National AIDS Commission. He also said that only Thailand and Australia have successfully managed to control the increase rate of the number of people with HIV AIDS. Indonesia, like many other countries in Asia, is still struggling with the horrific number of new HIV AIDS cases every year.

Based on a report from the Ministry of Health, until September 3338 people have been infected by HIV, with 2363 confirmed AIDS cases. It is also reported that the biggest cause of HIV AIDS transmission is not heterosexual intercourse (39.7%), or homosexual intercourse (6.2%), but the use of syringe to inject drugs (40.5%).

Important Think About Impotence

Thursday, April 8, 2010 posted by healthy 7:57 am

What do we know about impotence? We know almost nothing really. Erectile dysfunction is inability to maintain sexual intercourse with erection. A lot of men face this issue but it has never been so easy to eliminate this problem as it is now. For the past decades people have known shame, trying to hide their inabilities to have a good sexual experience with their partner. Sexual disorders can appear at any time and you don’t have to be certain age to get them. Of course, those men who are getting older are more likely to get these types of problems but it should not be a bother.

Sexual disorder problems can hit your pocket hard. For those men that can’t imagine their life without sex these drugs is one of the most important purchases. The effectiveness of each particular drug is different. It is important to remember that you have to be able to afford the medication as you will need to buy it constantly as you start the treatment so don’t buy anything that doesn’t suit you by the price.

As professionals, we would recommend you to go to a good specialist and talk about your case. Men have different sexual problems – it doesn’t mean all of those can be applied to you. You should always remember that a drug is not a toy. You can’t abuse it or use as much as you want. When taken out of the normal dose it turns into trouble creating reactions you never expected to have. You should try to not consume alcohol when you take these sorts of pills. Also it is forbidden to let anyone advice these drugs to each other.

What else is there to know? We would want you to become familiar with the process of drug taking. Usually you can start feeling the result as soon as 30 minutes after the pill consumption. The pill lasts averagely for not more than 6 hours, which allows the guy or the man to have several sexual intercourses.

Sexual disorders can be cause by anything. Don’t think you are a weird person having these issues. Stress is one of the major causes of erectile dysfunction.

One of the drugs that will definitely help you get rid of your ongoing insecurities that are sex related is Levitra. It is a well-known medication that people trust and recommend according to some online researches. It has proven to be more effective than Viagra pushing it off the number 1 spot of the impotency drugs. While Viagra is active for about 4 hours, Levitra lasts as long as 5 hours and some men claim, more than that. You can purchase Levitra online and not be afraid of doing so. You don’t always need a prescription for it but you have to stay clever about anything you do. This medication is being sold in more than 50 countries world-wide which is quite an impressive achievement.

Please remember that this pill should not be consumed with other medication in order to prevent ones body from other health problems. Some drugs just don’t seem to interact well with each other so just stick that in mind. Keeping yourself happy is one of the most important things and if you know that sex is one thing that definitely makes you happy – you have to make sure your sex is good and not only does it bring pleasure to your partner but is pleasant to you as well. We really hope it is like this!
