Going to a doctor in Taiwan is more convenient than other countries, for the density of hospitals and clinics here are large. Although there are many medical places for medical treatment and is quite easy to find a doctor, it is necessary to get prepared if an efficient treatment is needed.

Here are five tips to follow. First, make an appointment before going to see a doctor, and double check with the secretary before the day you visit. Next, find out your national health insurance card and hand it to the nurse when you register. Then wait for your turn. If you feel really uncomfortable, ask for some helps, and maybe you can cut in line. Third, tell the doctor clearly the worst symptom that haunted you most. For example, do not merely complain about the dreadful headache but point out “where”, “when” and “how” your head aches. This helps the doctor to clarify the disease so to make a suitable prescription. Another important thing to be mentioned is that before you leave the hospital, check the drugs carefully. Make sure that those are your medicament. Finally, take the medicine by the instruction of doctor. You can see the improvement of your health.

Because in Taiwan, the time of doctor for one patient is limited, express clearly how you feel in a direct way is essential. Therefore, both doctors and patients do good to each other. Why not prepare before you go to a doctor next time? It may not only cure your disease but also the dislike of treatments.
