As an internal medicine specialist, my daily practice involves treating patients with various medical conditions, including chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as acute illnesses such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections. I have had the privilege of working in both hospital and private clinic settings, and I can say that my experience in both has contributed greatly to my expertise in the field of internal medicine.
Currently, I am practicing at a private clinic where I treat patients with a wide range of medical conditions. My daily routine usually involves conducting thorough anamnesis and physical examinations to gather information about my patient's medical history and current symptoms. This process helps me to identify the potential causes of any illnesses or discomfort that my patients may be experiencing.
One of the key tools that I use in my practice is abdominal ultrasound. This non-invasive imaging technique allows me to examine the internal structures of my patients' abdomen to assess various organs such as the liver, pancreas, and kidneys. Ultrasound examination has been shown to be very effective in diagnosing conditions such as gallstones, fatty liver disease, and abdominal tumors. Furthermore, it is a painless, safe, and easy procedure that can be performed quickly in the office without the need for hospitalization.
The process of performing ultrasound examination is straightforward. After briefing the patients about the procedure, I apply a special gel to their skin and gently glide a handheld transducer over the abdomen. This transducer sends high-frequency sound waves into the abdomen, which are then reflected back off the organs and tissues to produce images on a monitor. These images are then interpreted to make a diagnosis or monitor progress in treatment. In some cases, I may need to perform additional tests or procedures based on the ultrasound results.
As an internal medicine specialist, I strongly believe in the power of ultrasound technology in aiding diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. The information gathered from this procedure can provide crucial insight into the root causes of illnesses and can guide me in developing effective management and treatment plans.
