这几天生病了，关节疼痛，喉咙发炎失声。
就来谈谈生病寻医吧！
生病了寻医，在日常生活里，是理所当然的事。
虽说一般的伤风感冒，休息几天便可自愈；但 有些疾病，开始时也许症状轻微，但日久未愈，就可要小心。
寻医，最担心的是碰到庸医，或不负责任的医生。虽说花钱消灾，能用金钱换回健康，是值得欣慰的。但若发现被没有医德的行医者敲了竹杠，难免会愤愤不平。劝告行医者，赚钱虽然重要，也要有点怜悯之心与医德！
报章上偶尔会报道误诊而导致患者错过了理想治疗时间。
所谓的误诊，起因有二：
其一，有些病症，发病初期，症状并不明显。不过，随着病情的演变，其他症状开始浮现出来，终于能确诊病情，对症下药。
其二，有些患者，急着要立马医好病状，三天两夜，往不同医生寻医；有时新质询的医生没有察觉到病情的演变过程，或忽略了某个环节，而错过了确诊的时机。
所以，“持之以恒” 跟定固定的医生，是很重要的！
不过，这并不意味患者不可以找另外一个医生，征求第二个意见。尤其是久医未愈，或治疗法有某些风险的时刻！
归根结底，对医生要有一定的信任，彼此有良好的沟通方式！
Fell sick the past few days - self medicated, now in recovery phase.
The general misconception is that patients are vulnerbale to be exploited by unscrupulous doctors. A lot of unnecessary tests and/or treatments are given to patients, causing heavy financial burden and psychological trauma.
Fortunately, majority of doctors held closely to Hippocrates Oath of "Do No Harm" to their patients.
When to consult a doctor, how long to stick to a doctor (particularly when there is no obvious improvement noted in once medical condition), and when to consult other doctors for 2nd opinion --> these are pertinent questions that raise different answers depending on the circumstances peculiar to each patients.
