Consulting from a distance is a challenging task requiring a high degree of communication and medical skill, and our doctors are well equipped for this challenge. With the help of our 'Where does it hurt?' body chart, patients in isolated areas are able to explain their medical condition with greater clarity and precision to the consulting doctor.
- When describing the region of pain to the consulting doctor, quote the corresponding number or letter from the body chart
- Describe the type of pain: sharp, dull, throbbing, constant, irregular
- Describe the course of the pain (where it started, whether it travelled, where it is now)
- Describe the severity and duration of the pain
