General Medicine Clinic
The General Medicine Clinic at MedPark Hospital provides diagnostic, screening, and treatment services for outpatients aged 15 and older. Our internists act as "disease detectives," diagnosing various illnesses and abnormalities by collecting critical clues of diseases, such as fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, headache, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, easy fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, paleness, insomnia, and painful urination, etc. This process is supplemented by taking patient history and conducting a physical examination.
Additionally, the clinic conducts laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging, such as general X-rays, to ensure accurate diagnoses. These allow us to differentiate between diseases, provide self-care advice to prevent complications and administer appropriate medications according to the specific condition and symptoms.
Because of this, internists need to be proficient in treating a wide range of medical conditions, with a deep understanding of diseases and illnesses affecting all body organs and systems. They offer self-care guidance, prevent recurring illnesses, and accurately address symptoms. They can diagnose and manage conditions like lung, bone, and kidney diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and heart diseases.
Our internists collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, including experienced registered nurses specializing in general medicine and medical laboratory technicians. In addition, our laboratory is equipped with advanced tools and technology, ensuring efficient and rapid test results. This quick turnaround enhances diagnostic accuracy and speed.
The General Medicine Clinic collaborates closely with various specialists, offering consultation and joint treatment planning. This collaboration minimizes the need for multiple departmental referrals. If a patient has a complex condition requiring specialized care, the internist will refer them to the appropriate specialist for timely and proper treatment.
