I consider it equally important that in our fast-paced world, we do not forget to show empathy towards people who come to us with complaints (even if they may not be ill). Doctors cannot "get through" every illness, although this is undoubtedly the most effective way to identify with the person we are examining, not only from a dry scientific point of view, but also emotionally. I strive to implement this approach in a cultured environment, in a clinic with the appropriate technical background, and if it becomes apparent that the help of a colleague is needed to move forward, we will arrange for further examination on site at our clinic, which now boasts 32 specialties.
In today's healthcare system, economic indicators dominate, with profitability being the primary concern. In striving to meet these requirements, it is often forgotten that we are working with people and that we need to understand the background to their complaints as thoroughly as possible in a short period of time. However, the situation is constantly deteriorating, partly due to the increase in the number of patients (aging society), the reduction in the available budget, and the rapid decline in healthcare personnel. I am therefore very grateful that the Medve Medical Clinic allows one hour for the examination of a cardiology patient, during which time it is possible to obtain a complete picture of the patient who has been called in for an appointment at a specific time.
