Have lived in Australia for several years, many domestic friends will be more concerned about me, how to see a doctor in Australia? I heard that an accident happened to a star in Australia. Is that a desolate country that can only raise cattle and sheep, and there is absolutely no way to compare it with the motherland in terms of medical care?
With this point of view, there are even some old overseas Chinese who have lived in Australia for many years. When I first arrived in Australia, my landlord and aunt complained to me, saying that the medical care in Australia was very poor, and her husband had a prominent waist and saw a lot of doctors in Australia. Can not be solved, finally can only return to do an operation to solve.
Although I have been healthy in Australia in recent years, I have developed the habit of seeing a doctor at home, summing up my experience and giving my own opinions.
1, because of the different ideas, we have different goals for the medical effect, and caused the contradiction.
Speaking of the previous landlord's husband, he had a protruding waist, a disease that was often caused by long-term incorrectly seated lumbar spine injuries. At home, patients often choose to operate because of pain. Although surgery can immediately remove prominent waist bones, we also know that any surgery has some harm to the human body.
In Australia, less severe lumbar disc protrusion, doctors will take more conservative non-surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatment takes a long time, but can better correct the patient's sitting posture, thus fundamentally solving the problem.
The different ideas also include common colds, fever, cough, and other common diseases. In China, these diseases often carry out a long series of laboratory tests. The most basic thing is to draw blood and check white blood cells. Cough at least open a bottle of cough syrup or do atomization. After 2-3 days, take some medicine, basically 3-5 days will be fine, you do not know whether it is the result of the drug, or lucky to see the doctor in time, so soon, not to cause a larger disease.
But doctors in Australia, for this common cold, fever and cough, basically ask the doctor about the symptoms, listen to the lungs, look at the throat, and then let you go home and drink more water. If the body temperature is too high after that, it will cause physical discomfort. Just buy Panadol for yourself. At this time, there are some Chinese patients on the frying pot, this is not to take my illness seriously ah! Are you discriminating against me?
If you really listen to the doctor, go home and try it, drink more water, rest more, go to the drugstore and buy some Panadol (Australian mythology, colds, fever and headaches) and eat it. You will find that the rate of treatment is no slower than that of the country.
The human body has the ability of self-healing, such as some common diseases, taking medicine may not be able to improve faster, but too many drugs, it is obvious that harm to the human body. At this point, I like the Australian way very much.
2, there are some diseases we have to tell ourselves that the current medical care is really incurable.
There are always some diseases that, in fact, haunt you all the time. It may slow down your pace of life, or it may have a slight impact on beauty, but it doesn't matter if you die at least immediately, and it doesn't matter if you don't see it. Sometimes you bite your teeth and stamp your feet and want to go to the hospital to have a good look, but no matter how much medicine you take, How much treatment, always unable to cure, even if temporarily relieved.
It is believed that each of us has such friends around us, or that we are also plagued by high blood pressure, diabetes, gastroenteritis, arthritis, asthma, dysmenorrhea and even a small piece of skin allergy, and so on. We all believe that there must be a cure, but sadly, there is no cure in current medicine, so sometimes people have to learn to live with the disease.
Living with the disease is not a negative life, but knowing that medicine cannot be cured at present, learn to spare yourself, toil over and over again, the missing can be cured, on the contrary, will give their own body a greater burden.
One winter, my skin suddenly tickled and scratched unconsciously, though not unbearably. At night, when I inadvertently opened my clothes, I found a huge rash on my body. This is the second time that I have had rubella at the age of 5. I was freaked out, and my husband on one side was scared and said to go to the hospital emergency immediately. I look at the time, it is 11:00, it is estimated that there is no place to go to the hospital to examine, want to think about, eliminate the serious problems such as being bitten by poisonous insects, it is estimated that the air-conditioning is on in winter, and the skin is too dry to cause allergies. So apply Vaseline all over the body three times, until the next morning, the skin was completely restored to the original. Fortunately, I didn't go to the hospital in the middle of the night.
3. Do you believe in experience or attitude?
A lot of friends around me told me that this disease should go to China to look after, how many cases do Chinese doctors have to see each year? They are experienced and knowledgeable. But what I want to say is, do you believe in experience, or do you believe in attitude?
I am not saying that Chinese doctors do not have medical ethics and do not have a good attitude. They just believe that anyone who has seen a disease in China knows that doctors in China are under too much pressure at work and that every doctor is working too hard. Whether you are an expert doctor waiting in line all morning, or a general clinic registered an hour or two in advance, almost every doctor is in a hurry and does not communicate too much with the patient. I'm sure they all have a lot of experience, but is it really good to have such a unified pipelined operation?
To see a doctor in Australia, each doctor will leave 30 to 60 minutes to communicate with a patient, they will be very patient to consult your situation, will also very carefully explain to you, if the need for surgery, and so on, will also communicate with you, Tell you a few options, and then suggest one of them, and of course tell you the effects of each scheme and its impact on your body, and even tell you the best and best way to save money, depending on your insurance. Australian doctors are really patient, and the plan discussed in this way at least gives me more confidence.
Well, having said so much, I would like to sum up my thoughts. Personally, I prefer to see a doctor in Australia. Let alone that basic health care in Australia already covers almost all of the disease programs, and in terms of therapeutic effects, I also do not feel that there is too much difference between Australia and China, but because there are fewer hospitals in Australia, so relative to the individual, The care given to the doctor in the hospital is completely different. Similar treatment results but obviously better treatment experience, excuse me, where would you like to choose?
There are exceptions to everything, and some items I prefer to look at home, such as tooth extraction. I also pulled out my teeth in Australia. I don't know if the hospital is not looking well or what. At that time, I went to a small private clinic with only one doctor and a nurse. Although the whole process of tooth extraction did not feel bad. But growing up in China, I still like big hospitals, dozens of doctors.
