Doctors Are Sharing The One Medical Fact They Wish Everyone Knew,
And All Should Be Required Reading. If you're a doctor, nurse, or healthcare worker, you probably see a lot of eye-opening things and know a lot of important information. So we asked "Doctors and medical professionals , what one medical fact do you wish everybody knew?"
1.Vaccines are safe and save lives
2.Priority is given to patients according to their state at the time. Be a patient patient. It's not a simple 'first come, first served' system.
3.If you're admitted to the hospital, don't lie about how much you drink.
4.Your immune system is one of the greatest assets you have, and you never thank it.
5."Keep an eye on your weight. Rapid unintentional weight loss is often a sign something serious is up."
6.Most important rule: Know your own history and drugs. Our electronic medical records are too inefficient to depend on, especially if you've been to many different institutions.
7.It's significantly more effective to prevent cancer than it is to treat it
8.Viral infections cannot be treated with antibiotics.
9.Smoking will kill you.
10.Mental illness can be as serious as a physical one. Get treated. You wouldn't ignore a broken leg.
11.No matter how bad it is, we have seen worse. Don't be ashamed
12.Dentist here: Just because a toothache goes away doesn't mean it's all better
13.If exercise were a pill, it would be the most prescribed drug in existence
14.If you're sexually active, go for STI testing once
or twice a year. HIV can take up to six months to show, and it's possible to have an STI with no symptoms.
15.You should not stop an antibiotic treatment because you feel better already.
16.Medical fact: Emergency means potential loss of life, limb, or eyesight. It does NOT mean inconvenience, irritation, or chronic condition
17.The pregnancy test you get in the ER is no different from the one at the store, and they're just as accurate
18.Doctors are there to help you; stop lying to them. They have to protect your privacy.
