When one gets to that certain age and way-outgrows
their pediatrician, it’s time to take their healthcare a tad more seriously.
One route is to find a good internist who can help you navigate your way
through these new adult issues and problems as they arise. An internist is
typically in for the long haul. Many patients make long serious relationships
with their internists, ones that last a lifetime. An internist can be like a
best friend—as they definitely got
your back when things get rough.
One thing an internist is not
is an intern. No, no, no… two totally
separate things. Whereas an intern denotes new
and recent an internist denotes advanced and adept. While an intern can be an asset to a company, an internist
has passed the intern phase by many, many years. An internist has studied
advanced medical procedures and is a certified doctor with advanced degrees and post-graduate
training in internal medicine. To sum up a primary care doctor, the American College of Physicians defined them as doctors who
are specialized in the detection, prevention, and treatment of adult illnesses.
An internist studies and
practices internal medicine. This is a medical specialty and they are skilled
in the management of patients who suffer from multisystem disease processes,
for hospitalized and/or ambulatory patients, and can also be major players in
groundbreaking new research and education. Commonly, during medical school an
internist would have spent approximately half of their seven years on the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect adults specifically. Just what type of person
would be the most likely candidate to be an internist’s patient?
Typically, the patient
of an internist would have been referred to them because their primary care
doctor hits a wall, and had been unable to diagnose the root of the problem the
individual is currently suffering from. It is only through the specialty of the
internist’s training that answers shall be had. In other words, we older folk
need a different doctor to diagnose our defaults; one that knows the ins and
outs of our old bones. Hey, when you want the best you see a professional in an
urgent care facility—a specialist—and that’s just what an internist is. In
fact, an internist is commonly known as the “doctor’s doctor.” Knowing you are
in the hands of someone that doctors themselves relay upon should definitely
lesson the stress and make you confidant in their knowledge and skills.
What sort of medical
problems send a person to an internist?
Ischemic or hemorrhagic
blood vessels—two of the main causes of strokes and are the type of problems that
an internist is trained for.
Osteoporosis— the
thinning of bone tissue over many years.
Hypertension—high blood pressure.
Gastroenterology—disorders
of the digestive system.
Lung disease—any disease
that affects the lungs or the airways that carry oxygen, including emphysema,
chronic bronchitis, and asthma
Cardiovascular disease—problems
with the heart, blood vessels or circulatory system in part or as a whole. Cardiovascular
diseases include—but are not limited to—arteriosclerosis, coronary heart
disease, arrhythmia, endocarditis and problems with the peripheral vascular
system.
