What to ask a doctor?

We believe that beginning an accurate diagnosis is a key to exact treatment. A patient is the most important person in this process. By exactly describing the nature, location, time, and duration of onset of the symptoms to the doctor, the patient helps in an appropriate diagnosis and subsequent treatment of the disease.

We strongly recommend that a patient should consider using the questions given below as a reference for their consultation with a doctor. We encourage you to be fully informed about your health. Below, find suggested questions to ask your doctor.

Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

  • If my symptoms get worse, what can I do?
  • How effective is my treatment option?
  • What is the disease (condition)?
  • What is the cause of my disease (condition)?
  • Am I suffering from more than one disease (condition) that could be causing my problem?
  • How serious is my disease (condition) and how will it affect my personal and work life?
  • Do I need to take precautions to avoid infecting others?
  • How is the disease or condition treated?
  • What are my treatment options?
  • What are the risks (side-effects) of my treatment option?
  • When should I contact you?

If You Need Surgery

  • All the above questions may or may not relate to you, depending upon the disease (condition) you may undergo.
  • Soon after your doctor decides on Surgery or Procedure for you, you need to be admitted to the hospital. The first step is to obtain clearance from the Help Desk. You will be asked to signify your acceptance of the estimated tariff to cover your treatment and stay in the hospital. After this step is completed, you will be given a date for admission as well as pre-operative instructions.
  • How long will I be in the hospital?
  • How long will it take me to recover?
  • What are your qualifications?
  • Why am I a candidate for the surgery?
  • Make sure you have any prescribed pre-admission testing done prior to the date you are being admitted to the hospital.
  • What surgical procedure do you advise for me?
  • Is there more than one way to perform this surgery?
  • What will be the cost of the surgery?
  • Bring your insurance card and some form of identification such as a driver’s license
  • Leave your valuables at home. Take only those things that you need to be comfortable with during your stay.
  • Is surgery beneficial in my case?
  • What if I do not have this surgery – Are there any other alternatives?
  • What are the risks associated with the surgery?
  • Can I get a second opinion?
  • What is the duration of complete recovery?
  • What are the post-operative risks involved?
  • How many such procedures have you performed earlier?

          Patient safety is a healthcare discipline that emphasizes on the reporting, analysis, and prevention of medical error, physician error, medication error, pharmacy error, nursing error, medical equipment failure, root cause analysis, and failure due to human factors. Negligence in patient safety often leads to adverse healthcare events.

          Preventing venous thromboembolism by eliminating hospital-acquired VTE (venous thromboembolism), the most common cause of preventable hospital deaths.

          • Educating patients about using blood thinners safely
          • Building rapid response systems and better teams
          • Re-engineering hospital discharges thus reducing potentially preventable readmissions by assigning a staff member to work closely with patients and other staff to settle medications and schedule necessary follow-up medical appointments.
          • Ask a family member or friend to go with you to the doctor to help you ask questions or get further information.
          • Cooperate with your doctor by answering the questions about your illness in order to understand and plan for your care.
