Why You Are Sent To A Specialist
Human medicine is one of the most complex and demanding of all
sciences. Constant research for new drugs and forms of treatment,
changing disease patterns, increasing population, increasing num
bers of older people — all add immeasurably to the problems and
burden of medical science. The family physician, on the front line
oi aeiense against disease, prob
ably feels this burden the most.
Hundreds of years ago the
practice of medicine was rela
tively uncomplicated because
knowledge was less extensive.
But as the profession learned
more, there developed a trend
toward specialization. -The vast
amount of accumulated knowl
edge made it impossible for one
man to work in all areas.
Today we have many divisions
and sub-divisions of medicine,
each a major field in itself. There
are heart specialists, nerve spe
cialists, eye, ear, nose and throat
specialists, bone specialists and
brain specialists. There are doc
tors who specialize in certain
diseases, such as cancer or men
tal illness. There are doctors who
work with certain age groups
such as Pediatrics (children)
and Geriatrics (old people).
While you may sometimes
wonder why your family physi
cian refers you to a specialist,
we can all be thankful that there
are specialists to detect, diagnose
and treat specific ills. Your doc
tor, the general practitioner, is
the foundation of the medical
profession. But it is impossible
for him to know everything
about every disease problem.
Therefore, the specialist serves
as a valuable and vital member
of the health team.
Your dentist is also a special
ist. It is not uncommon for your
doctor, while examining you for
some ailment, to discover that it
is caused by an infected tooth.
He then sends you to the dentist,
for treatment. Not only does bhe
dentist have specialized knowl
edge about the teeth and mouth,
but he also possesses specialized
equipment.
Many family physicians also
study surgery and do perform
operations as part of their regu
lar practice. But many will turn
their patients over to another
specialist, a surgeon, when an
operation is required.
Certainly many family physi
cians will treat minor ailments
of the eye, ear, nose and throat.
But in those instances, when
more serious and complicated
conditions develop, or where
there is some type of obstruction
or deformity in these areas, the
patient is sent to a doctor who
specializes in the treatment of
these parts T»f the body.
The person who benefits most
from such specialization is you,
the patient. It is a comforting
thing to know that when illness
strikes you and your family that
you have readily available the
best medical training the world
has ever known. •
