What is the difference between General Medicine and Internal Medicine?

Both deal with non-surgical adult care. Internal Medicine places more emphasis on complex, long-term or multiple conditions and on investigating unclear symptoms.

I take many medicines. Can the doctor review them?

Yes. Bring all your medicines or prescriptions, and the doctor will review them for overlaps, side effects and interactions.

Do you treat infections such as typhoid and dengue?

Yes, infectious diseases are one of Dr Prashant's areas of special interest. Seek urgent care if warning signs such as bleeding, severe pain or drowsiness develop.

Can I be admitted if needed?

Yes, we have an in-patient admission facility with 15 beds, across a special room, semi-special room, and separate male and female wards. The doctor will advise if admission is needed.

Overview

Internal Medicine is the branch of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of adult illnesses. An internal medicine physician looks at the whole patient, rather than one organ or symptom at a time.

This approach is particularly helpful for patients with more than one long-term condition, those taking several medicines, and those whose symptoms do not yet have a clear cause.

Dr Prashant J. Thakkar is a Consultant Physician with special interests in diabetes and hypertension management, infectious diseases and critical care.
