The DIFFERENCE between ASKING your doctor what is wrong and simply telling her which medicine to prescribe.

There are a few things that guarantee treatment success.  The most important one is the patient history. It's more important to know the how, when and where about the rash than it is to know that you have a rash or to just see a picture. The patient history gives the healthcare professional more context about the presented condition.  The signs and symptoms that the patient is experiencing are also very important. Yes you have heartburn BUT is the heartburn accompanied by blood in the vomit or stool? Is there any pain in the abdomen? When is the pain worse/ better? This is more important than leaving it at heartburn.  Choosing the correct treatment plan is all about making the correct diagnosis. Patients MUST allow the healthcare professional to make the diagnosis instead of jumping to the name of the medicine of the procedure that they think needs to be done.

Antihistamine syrups/ tablets and their side effects

This podcast is about the correct and intended use of antihistamines.  We consider brand names like Allergex, SleepEze, DPH, Benylin, Cipla-Actin, Phenergan and others.  It is common place to find a medicine registered for cough being used by patients to treat insomnia.  It is also common to find a medicine registered for pruritis (itchiness) being used by patients to promote appetite.  We focus on the implications of these and especially use in paediatrics.

medical aid waiting period

The first thing you want when you get permanent employment with benefits is to get a medical aid. You've always hated your teeth and now you can finally find a way to pay for the dentist. Also, when you are thinking of starting a family and are scared of the expensive monthly gynecologist visits, the R30 000 hospital bill and the R10 000 gynecologist fee for delivery of the baby and that R2 000 bill for the pediatrician when the baby is born.  What if I told you that you could sign up for medical aid and still pay for all those costs + the medical aid from your own pocket?  The medical aid is allowed to put you on a waiting period for 3-12 months.  Listen to the podcast for further clarity on this.  Enjoy!!
