POLYCLINICS

There is a wide network of medical institutions to protect the health of our people. One of such medical institutions is the polyclinic.

If a person falls ill he will ring up his local polyclinic and call in a doctor. When his condition isn’t very poor and he has no high temperature he will go to the local polyclinic and a physician will examine him there.

During the medical examination a physician usually asks a patient what he complains of and according to the complaints carries on the medical examination. He listens to the patient’s heart and lungs and measures his blood pressure and takes his temperature, if necessary.

A number of different procedures is used to establish a diagnosis: history-taking; physical examination, which includes visual examination, palpation, percussion, auscultation; laboratory studies, consisting of urinalysis, blood and sputum tests; instrumental studies, for example, taking electrocardiograms (ECG), X-ray examinations and others.

Many specialists including therapists, surgeons, cardiologists, gynecologists, traumatologists and others work at the polyclinic.

A number of local physicians, in addition to their consulting hours, go out to the calls to examine those patients who are seriously ill and whose condition is bad. Such sick persons receive a sick-leave. They usually follow a bed regimen. If it is necessary a nurse will come to the patient’s house to give him the administered injections or carry out any of the doctor’s administrations.
