How can I get extra care from the doctor when I am hospitalized for surgery?

When illness strikes, I believe few people can remain calm. Most people will rush to find a doctor to seek a cure. If surgery is needed, they will hope that a miracle doctor can cure the disease.

However, the reality is cruel. Not every hospital has a miracle doctor. If you have the conditions, you may ask people to find out where there are high-level doctors. If you don't have the conditions, you can only hope that the doctor can take care of you.

In fact, most people don’t know anyone when they go to the hospital. So, how can you get the doctor to “take a second look at you” among thousands of patients?

Dealing with medical staff is definitely an art. "Just because I looked at you more in the crowd", it must be love. As a doctor, let me tell you the truth: what kind of patients do medical staff like?

First of all, we need to point out that doctors have almost no time to adjust their emotions. Faced with long patient queues, most of the time they are doing mechanical work. Therefore, it is not easy to get doctors to feel emotional. In fact, due to the heavy workload, it is easy for them to feel dislike.

Regarding this point, everyone can think about it from another perspective: when you are busy and tired, are you more likely to be happy or angry?

I am already ill and in a bad mood, and I am worried that the doctor will be angry and not treat me well. So, how can I get better results in this fight against the disease?

In fact, doctors treat all patients equally at the beginning. However, doctors are also mortals and will be affected by various factors. For example, doctors also like to hear nice words. Once they hear something unpleasant, of course they will be in a bad mood. But there is one thing that everyone does not need to worry about: the bottom line of doctors is that they will not treat patients in a bad way. It is the minimum to follow the diagnosis and treatment procedures and abide by medical ethics. If he is a bad fish, the medical community is destined to not tolerate him.

My years of experience as a doctor has taught me that almost all medical staff like flattery and courtesy. After all, the medical industry is not a money-making business. A government official with low salary may care more about the halo above his head. Therefore, he also particularly hopes that the common people will take him seriously.

At this time, some people will retort: ​​Who said doctors don’t make money? Then so-and-so has a lot of money!

What I want to say is, which industry doesn't have outstanding people? It's just that the vast majority of medical staff can only be honest wage earners and pay off their loans all their lives.

Attitude is the first hurdle. With a good attitude, the doctor may pay a little more attention to you.

If follow-up treatment is involved, there are more things to pay attention to. Take surgery as an example: the follow-up will involve many links, many departments and many medical staff, and they must be treated properly.

The general concept is to respect. Not only should you respect others in your attitude, but you should also cooperate in your actions. For example, if the doctor asks you to do an MRI, you can complain in your heart that "it costs too much", but try to cooperate. Of course, you can also discuss with the doctor whether there are any cheaper and alternative tests. You can pretend to be poor, but don't yell: What kind of doctor are you...

If there is an alternative examination that does not affect the effect, the doctor will generally change it for you. However, if you have a bad attitude, the result is hard to say. Doctors are just doing their job, there is no question of whether it is necessary or not. When the patient has a bad attitude or other behaviors that affect the examination and treatment, the doctor can choose to let another doctor take over.

Therefore, if we are more polite and cooperative, the patients will definitely benefit.

During the hospitalization for surgery, there may be many medical staff asking various questions or performing many operations. Don't be reluctant. They are not idle, everything is for your illness. For example, when the doctor tells you to take antihypertensive drugs or inject insulin, you must follow the instructions. It would be even better if you can write down the blood pressure measurement results or blood sugar measurement results in a small notebook and show it to the medical staff. Medical staff like this kind of cooperative patients the most.

As for whether you need to find an acquaintance to speak well of you or take extra care of you: if you have one, you can contact them. If not, the quality of medical care will not be compromised. However, it is appropriate to ask about your health when you see an acquaintance. After all, this is human nature.

In short, don't worry too much. As long as you cooperate well with the medical staff, you will definitely get the best results.
