What a general physician does
A general physician looks at your health as a whole. They are the doctor to start with when something feels wrong and you are not sure who to see.
- Assesses new symptoms such as fever, cough, acidity, headaches and fatigue.
- Manages long-term conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and thyroid problems over regular follow-ups.
- Reviews blood tests and other reports, and explains what they mean.
- Refers you to the right specialist when you need one.
