Preparation before Hospital Visit

What to ask a doctor? Things to do before your visit.
We believe that establishing an accurate diagnosis is the key to flawless treatments. A patient is the most important person in this process. By accurately describing the nature, location, time and duration of onset of the symptoms to the doctor, the patient actually helps in an appropriate diagnosis and subsequent treatment of the disease. Patients should inform the doctor about herbs, vitamins and medications taken by them on a long-term basis as the use of certain non-prescription drugs and vitamins might be the cause of the symptoms of a disorder. 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.

About Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

  • 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?
  • What symptoms should I watch for?
  • What tests can be done to diagnose my problem?
  • How safe and accurate are the tests?
  • Will these tests be beneficial?
  • When will I know the test’s results?
  • Will I need more medical tests?
  • Do I need a follow-up visit and if so, when?
  • Do I need to take precautions to avoid infecting others?
  • How is the disease or condition treated?
  • What are my treatment options?
  • How effective is my treatment option?
  • What are the risks (side-effects) of my treatment option?
  • If my symptoms get worse, what can I do?
  • When should I contact you?

If You Need Surgery

  • Why am I a candidate for the surgery?
  • 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?
  • Is surgery really 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 long will it take me to recover?
  • How long will I be in the hospital?
  • What are your qualifications?
  • How many such procedures have you performed earlier?

All the above questions may or may not relate to you, depending upon the disease (condition) you may undergo. Soon after your doctor decides 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. As you prepare for your hospital visit, here is a checklist to help you be more prepared.

  • Make sure you have any prescribed pre-admission testing done prior to the date you are being admitted to the hospital.
  • 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 during your stay.
  • If you do not have a will, consider completing one so your family will know what you wish is if you are not able to make decisions for yourself.
  • Know your medical history including any allergies and/or adverse reactions.
  • Bring a list of your current medications, including the name, dosage and frequency including any vitamin or herbal supplements you are taking.
  • Know your rights and responsibilities as a patient by reading our Guidelines on Patient and Family Responsibilities.
  • Ask your physician questions about the procedure, what to expect, how long you will be in the hospital and whether you will be sent home or to another facility to recover.
  • Know in advance the hospital’s policies on cell phone use and visiting hours.
Patient Safety Tips
  1. Ask every person to identify themselves when they come into your room. Employees are required to wear their name tags for you to see. To help you distinguish between clinical and non-clinical staff, the hospital has a colour coded dress for its staff.
  2.  Ask everyone, be it a caregiver or a visitors, to wash their hands. Hand wash is the best way to fight the spread of infections.
  3. Before you go in for the procedure, ask to make sure they have the right patient and are going for the correct procedure. Your identification bracelet will be checked, you will be asked for your complete name and complete birth date many times. This may get tiresome and may seem inefficient, but it is a planned repetition to assure the correct procedure or medication is being delivered in the correct way to the correct person.
  4. We have a rapid response team available round the clock in the hospital. This team will respond immediately if a patient’s condition deteriorates. They can be accessed by dialling zero on your phone.
  5. If you have a physical impairment, difficulty in communicating, or not comfortable with English, we have ways to accommodate you and want to meet your needs to the best of our abilities. Please ask for assistance.
  6. You will hear messages over the public address system calling “codes”. These are usually drills. Your caregiver will let you know if there is a real emergency.
  7. Pay attention to signs. Many areas are restricted to patients and visitors for a good reason. These areas may be sterile or may contain dangerous equipment or radiation. Let your caregiver know if you find something broken or in disrepair or of any unsafe condition that you discover.
  8. Leave all valuables at home, but be sure to bring adequate identification and your insurance information. Don’t leave your purse or other valuables unattended. If you have valuables and cannot send them home with a family member, ask that they are locked safe.
Medication Safety

Be an informed consumer! Here are some steps you can take:

  1. Having knowledge about medications, the dosages, indications, side effects, and any special considerations is an important aspect of our health care. This will help your doctors, nurses and pharmacists help you with your healthcare needs.
  2. Before you are admitted to the hospital:
    When you start taking medication for the first time, make sure you have the following information
    a) The name of the medicine (brand name or generic name).
    b) The reason you are taking the medicine and how long you are supposed to take it.
    c) At what times you should take the medicine.
    d) Possible side effects.
    e) Whether or not the medicines will interact with food and other medicines.
  3.  Make a list of all the medicine you are taking currently. Include prescription medication, over the counter and any herbal preparations. Also, include the dose of the medicines and how often you take them.
  4. List any allergies to food or medicines.
  5. Show the list to all your doctors and pharmacists.
  6. Keep your medicines in their original container.
Using Antibiotics Safely

Antibiotics are drugs that have helped save many lives by fighting bacterial infections, some fungal infections, and some parasites. Through the years, certain bacteria have developed the ability to resist the antibiotics that were designed to kill them. It is important to know how to safely use the medication and take steps to prevent more bacteria from developing resistance to antibiotics. Here are some things you can do:

  • Know when to take antibiotics. The first step in using antibiotics safely is to know when you should take them. Antibiotics won’t work against viral infections including colds and flu.
  • Follow directions. If your doctor prescribes an antibiotic, make sure you understand exactly how it should be taken. Some medications work best if taken with food, while others should be taken on an empty stomach. Ask your doctor to tell you exactly what schedule you should use to take the medicine. There is a big difference between every eight hours and taking it three times a day with meals.
  • You also should take all of the antibiotics in the prescription. Don’t stop taking them when you feel better or save some for the next time you feel sick. If you don’t take all the medication prescribed, you may be allowing the stronger bacteria to live and become resistant to that antibiotic.
