More and More Perfect your History, More and More Rapid Our Diagnosis.

Hello Friends, most of you are not aware what the History is in medical science.
But for Doctors it is the first and most important step for the Diagnosis of a disease.

Fever, it is a symptom not a disease so how we will say what is the cause of fever?
Fever occurs in Viral (Dengue, influenza etc.) Bacterial (Typhoid, E.coli infection, shigella, pseudomonas, staphylococcal infection, food poisoning etc.) Protozoal (maleria, leishmaniasis etc.) Amoebical (Entamoeba hystolytica, giardiasis etc.) Parasitical (Asceriasis, filariasis etc.)

There are 1000s of disease in which fever occurs, if fever remains after 3-4 days even after symptomatic medications (Paracetamol) Always Consult Doctor.

I am Gonna write a separate blog On FEVER.

So 1000s of disease with almost similar symptoms, but Doctors can rule out and conclude the Perfect diagnosis.
Diagnosis of a disease also have your contribution.

How?

Your History!!!!

As a patient enters in a Doctor's room, Doctor use to asks cheif complaints, duration of symptoms, whole history of symptoms that how the symptoms appear, followed by, does it subsided by medications, your personal habbit, eating habits, past history of any other treatments, family history, etc.
This is known as history.

As I told, most of disease have mostly similar symptoms but.......
In a different Way!!!!!

So on the basis of your History, Doctor compares your symptoms (what patient tells to doctor) with signs (what doctor observe in patient's body) and then Doctor proceeds to further investigations and then finally Treatment.

H.I.T. :-  H = History + examination
                I  = Investigation
                T = Treatment

H.I.T. Is the rule and a way for Doctors to treat the patient.

Here we can see, the first step for diagnosis is History that You represents.
So Friends, Always Tell perfect History, as  Doctor asks, tell everything what you observe without any hesitation.

This will help You as well as Doctor for the perfect and rapid diagnosis.

So keep in touch, I will Share everything that you should know about Medical, Mind and Life.

Thank You
