Doctors--Medical Practitioners

About the Doctors-Medical Practitioners heading in Yellow™

Find information regarding doctors or medical practitioners under this Yellow™ heading. Doctors practice medicine in order to maintain or restore the health of patients. Through observation and examination, they identify symptoms that manifests in an individual and make a diagnosis based on these symptoms. After this, they recommend the necessary treatment whether through medication, therapy, surgery, or other interventions. Doctors may have a specific branch of medicine to specialise in or become general practitioners who can perform treatment on conditions that do not require a specialist. These doctors may refer the patient to a specialist in such cases.

Doctors work in hospitals and medical centres but commonly have clinics elsewhere. In a medical clinic, there are a group of doctors, each one a specialist for a specific branch of medicine. A clinic may house the services of a paediatrician, gynaecologist, dermatologist, cardiologist, pulmonologist, and a general practitioner. All other types of specialists have clinics, too. Doctors need to know the medical history of all their patients and gather the necessary data to analyse their condition. Based on this, they develop a treatment plan for the patient and monitor the recovery.

In a regular clinic, doctors may perform health check ups and annual medical exams required by a patient’s insurance. Some clinics offer prevention programs which are routine check ups for certain people. An example of this is a senior’s routine check up to check for chronic diseases and over all health. This can also be done for the middle aged bracket. Preventive check ups are also recommended to healthy people who want to be sure about their physical health. Patients keep a relationship with the doctors they can trust and who take time to listen to them and explain their condition as carefully and as clearly as possible.
