Hematology examination

The doctor of the internal medicine specialist, a hematologist, performs a clinical examination of the patient. The review begins with a discussion with the patient (anamnesis) and review. It takes an average of 20-30 minutes, and if necessary longer. The review is completely painless and no special preparation is needed.

REVIEW CONSISTS OF:

• Anamnesis – talk with the patient about current problems, other illnesses (if any), previous surgeries and hospital treatments, family illnesses etc …

• Insight into the previous medical documentation (if any)

• Physical examination (inspection-observation, palpation-pacing, auscultation-listening, tension measurement and ECG recording) Auscultation-listening to the heart and lungs is performed using an instrument called a stethoscope. Auscultation is one of the most important parts of the examination of the internist, because it represents a way of suspecting the existence of various diseases of the heart.

• advice and recommendation for further treatment (if needed) and suggestion of possible additional diagnosis (X-ray, load test, coronarography …)

You need to bring with you the previous medical documentation (if you have it) and laboratory analysis.
