Patient can suffer if the right ailment is not diagnosed and treated in time.Especially in case of cancer, hepatitis and heart diseases, if the sickness is not diagnosed in time. It can make the situation worse.Its unfortunate that many patients came to know about their sickness very late and the doctors let them know that they have very less days of life left.
Unluckily we have very less trained medical staff as compared to the patients in our country.As a result a doctor has to cure many patients. The situation is almost same in clinics and hospitals.That's how the chances of mistake by the medical staff increases.
According to the experts, people must be very careful about choosing the right doctor. Before consulting a doctor, consider the following points and then decide that whether to go to him or not.

1-Does the doctor have the right degree? 

You must know that the doctor to which you are going has the degree or he is a quack.People must beware of this fact that the quackery in our country is increasing with each day.You have the complete right to know his registration number.In our country most people are illiterate and do not pay attention to doctor's qualification and then regret afterwards.

2-Doctor's experience

There is no doubt  that the experienced doctor is more reliable then an inexperienced. At second step we must know that whether the doctor is experienced or not.Experienced and specialised doctor can save their patients from complications.

 3-Communication with the doctor

 Doctors and patients must coordinate with each other and patient should trust his doctor.The devoted and sincere doctors must ask the family history of the patient, diet habits, daily routine and many other questions to diagnose the ailment in a better way.Doctor should not hide any fact about you about your sickness. And if he is unable to diagnose the ailment , he must admit it and recommend another doctor.Often the ladies prefer lady doctor to consult for their problems because the females feel it more comfortable to discuss their problems with a lady doctor.
