The original intention of writing this article is because many friends lined up to see a doctor, and they were "invited" out before they asked for any useful information from the doctor's mouth. I feel sorry for their time, and I am also reminded of my own and my family's sad experiences with doctors in the past.
The tips in this article may not apply to every situation, but as long as they can help 1 person in a certain situation, it is also valuable. After all, in a person's life, only life, old age, illness and death are the real suffering, and others can slowly turn around with time.
There are appointments to wait
Although Germany does not need to wait in long lines to see a doctor in China, it is not possible to start directly every time you arrive on time.
I've been through the experience of sitting there waiting for more than an hour, knowing that I made an appointment with Termin several times in advance, and asked, either some people in the front arrived late, or the doctor had other things to do.
If you have a partner who has had a similar experience but doesn't know how to ask in German, you can use this expression: "Haben Sie mich noch auf dem Schirm?" Translated into Chinese means, "You know I'm still waiting, right?" You haven't forgotten me, have you? ”
Just waiting for a long time is not enough, but the most painful thing is that it is finally my turn to go in, talk about my situation for half a day, but I can't get any useful information from the doctor's mouth. Doctors in Germany are certainly a little more patient than the domestic average, but not every doctor is willing to listen to patients without thinking about time. I myself have met many German doctors who have hurriedly ended the topic without saying a few words.
A doctor who is difficult to prescribe
When I first came to Germany, I still spoke German very badly, and I didn't dare to see it when I was sick. Later, under the guidance of Lao Hu, he listed the questions he wanted to ask the doctor on the paper in advance, and went with a pen and paper.
However, even with adequate preparation, the doctor often gave me little feedback and information. Many times, they can't say what caused it. In addition, German doctors are originally more conservative about taking medicine, in their concept, it is a three-point poison of medicine, and I can recover on my own, resulting in me often spending an hour to see a doctor but "finding nothing".
Coincidentally, when I complained to my mom on video, she told me that the same was true of the doctor she was seeing in The country. She found a good hospital on the Internet, lined up there early in the morning, waited for 2 or 3 hours and finally got her turn, but could not stay in the doctor's office for 5 minutes.
The conversation with the doctor was also about the same as mine, that is, I said a bunch of things myself, and the doctor did not take a position, or asked her to draw blood for examination.
I can't help but wonder, maybe all the doctors in the world are similar? Probably like my programmer colleagues, the inside jargon is not easy to explain to the layman, and most of the time the other party can't understand it.
Pry open the doctor's lips and teeth
Now that the problem has been identified, it still needs to be solved. I recorded several conversations with the doctor and asked Lao Hu for advice.
Listening to this, Lao Hu also found a lot of problems. He frowned in both places in the recording.
In one place, I said to the doctor, "I've had symptoms A, B, and C in the past month and I'm feeling very uncomfortable. The doctor replied, "Mm-hmm."
Another point was when the doctor prescribed me a medicine, and I replied, "Thanks, I hope this medicine will help." ”
Old Hu silently pressed the pause button and asked me: "Why are you all statements, don't you throw the question to the doctor?" ”
I was surprised: "My statement sentence is actually trying to throw bricks and lead jade, throw a stem and let them continue to say." ”
Old Hu: "That person can also not pick up." For example, if you want to say what is uncomfortable, you don't have to finish it, you can add another sentence 'What do you think may be causing it?' ’”
"Also, when he prescribes you the medicine, you don't understand why it is and whether the medicine is really useful, and you don't say anything like 'I hope it can be useful', so you let them answer something." 」
I was stunned: "So what to do?" How can I get the doctor to tell me how effective this medicine is? ”
Lao Hu: "First of all, don't state the sentence, you can ask more questions, such as 'How likely do you think this medicine can work for me'?" ”
"In German, just don't speak Ich hoffe, dass dieses Medikament bei mir wirkt.
而是问 How likely do you think this drug will work for me?"
Attitude towards doctors
Later, he and Lao Hu went to see the doctor several times, and every time he said it, the doctor would continue to export, of course, this is also related to Lao Hu's "relatively cheeky".
Because I usually asked almost the same, the ass began to consciously leave the bench, but the old Hu was not moved at all, the ass was firmly sticky, no matter how short the doctor answered him, he could find a way to throw the topic back with the question.
Sometimes I would complain afterwards that he was "too troublesome", but he insisted that seeing a doctor was to ask from multiple angles. When he was a child, one of his brothers was misdiagnosed by the doctor, and almost missed the best opportunity to see a doctor.
Later, I calmly thought alone, although the doctor works very hard every day, one patient after another, no matter how high the medical skills, 1% of the people will not be saved, and misdiagnosis and error are inevitable.
However, behind this error rate are also living people, the 1% of the mistake in their hands, if it happens to be your close relative, that is 100% of your life.
From this point of view, patients ask doctors a few more questions to trigger their thinking and answers, which is actually a reasonable appeal.
What do the friends think?
If you are also suffering from seeing a doctor and not getting valid information, then you may wish to learn my lessons and try the question sentence suggested by Lao Hu, which may also help you a little bit.
