Knowing how to go to see a doctor is very important. Being familiar with the steps of seeing a doctor can not only saves your time but sometimes even saves your life. Every country has its own rule of seeing a doctor, and I would like to introduce the rule in Taiwan.
For example, if you want to go to see a doctor in Chang Gung Hospital, you should follow the following steps. To begin with, bring your Health Insurance IC Card and enough money before you go out. When you arrive the hospital, first, go to the hospital’s counter, register and pay the registration fee at the count. Second, go to the waiting room and wait for your turn. When it is your turn, go into the clinic room. Then tell the doctor your symptoms and answer the doctor’s questions as clear as possible. Also, follow the nurse’s instructions. After seeing the doctor, leave the clinic room but don’t forget to go to the count again. Get your medicine and pay for the extra medicine expense if necessary. Finally, go home and follow the doctor’s instruction to take the medicine.
Everyone should be familiar with the steps above. In my opinion, government should make more efforts to educate the public about how to see a doctor. Government can reach this goal by making a TV ad or by school education. The most importance is we should learn it and memorize it in mind.
