The Internal Medicine Clinic at Phyathai 2 Hospital is like the first door that opens to welcome patients and is also an important gateway for standardized patient screening. Since some patients come to the hospital without knowing the cause of their illness, internists have the duty to provide answers to patients on how to treat their symptoms or which specialist they need to be referred to. The Internal Medicine Clinic is the main foundation… ready to clarify all doubts for every patient.
The Internal Medicine Clinic at Phyathai 2 Hospital is divided into 5 specialized branches: General Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Nephrology, Respiratory Diseases, and Hematology. General Internal Medicine is the first checkpoint for patients to screen, diagnose, and refer them to specialized internal medicine branches or other appropriate specialties within the hospital quickly and efficiently according to the patient’s symptoms.
-
- Infectious Diseases Most patients come with fever or chronic illnesses such as weight loss or loss of appetite. Internists must examine whether it is an infectious disease or another condition. There may be consultations and referrals to other specialists, for example, patients with gastrointestinal infections may have internists working together with gastroenterologists.
-
- Nephrology Some patients show symptoms indicating kidney disease, such as swelling, or have other diseases leading to kidney problems, such as diabetes. Sometimes patients are referred from health screening centers after abnormal urine or blood test results, requiring a diagnostic process.
-
- Respiratory Diseases Patients often come with clear symptoms such as a cold, nasal congestion, cough, or if they have lung disease, they usually present with easy fatigue.
-
- Hematology Most patients come with anemia, weakness, fatigue, or blood test results showing anemia. However, anemia often results from other diseases, for example, a patient with anemia may be found to have cancer. Internists must refer patients as quickly as possible for the benefit of their treatment.
