Question 4

Will they solve my issues?

Accepted Answer

All of our doctors will aim to provide you with the most accurate diagnosis and the best medical or surgical treatment options for your case. Whilst we do aim to solve your issue, this may be difficult if your case is complex. In these cases we will endeavour to involve further specialist doctors to assist them in achieving the right clinical diagnosis.

Question 5

Is my consultation private?

Accepted Answer

All of your consultations are private and confidential. We will not discuss it with your family and friends without your consent. If a second opinion from another SecondMedic Doctor may benefit your clinical query we may discuss the case with them, but again the case will be private and confidential between the two medical professionals. These are the same high standards doctors hold themselves to every day in their professional lives.

Question 8

What do I need for my consultation?

Accepted Answer

To make the most out of your medical consultation, you should have as much information available for your doctor as possible. It helps to know  - When your issue started  - What symptoms you have been experiencing  - How has this been affecting your life  - What other medical conditions you have been diagnosed with  - What other conditions your family members have been diagnosed with (some problems can be passed on genetically to other family members)  - Any blood tests, exams or scans you have had, and the results if you have them. (If you have not had any, we can recommend some scans that will help with your diagnosis)  - Any medications you take  If you do not have all this information, we may need to ask you further questions during the consultation to help us manage your case correctly.
