Main Text

Everyone has the chance to get sick, so knowing how to go to see a doctor is necessary. Every country has its own rule of seeing a doctor, and the rule in Taiwan is quite unique in some ways.
When it comes to going to see a doctor in Taiwan, there are some important things one has to know. First, there are many types of hospitals and clinics in Taiwan. Patients have many choices, and which hospital or clinic to go depends on the symptom of the patients. Second, Taiwan has the National Health Insurance. This is very different from other countries. With the health insurance, patients can have discount on their medicine expense.
I would like to introduce the steps of going to see a doctor in Taiwan. To begin with, you should have a simple acquaintance with your symptoms whenever you feel under weather. Then you would be able to gauge which hospital or clinic to go, and which doctor to see. After that, make an appointment with the doctor by phone and go to the hospital waiting for your turn. It is especially important to be on time. Or the doctor will give your priority to other patients. Besides, before you go out to see the doctor, make sure you have the Health Insurance IC card with you. Enough money is also in demand.
Knowing the details of seeing a doctor not only saves your time but sometimes even save your life. In my opinion, the government should make more efforts to educate the public the steps of seeing a doctor. Also, we should teach our family members as possible.
