Why is it important to know what different hospital departments do?

There are so many departments in a hospital, especially general hospital.


For a patient, it is essential to know what different hospital departments do
because this will help him have the best treatment and it would save his time
which the doctor can use to cure himself. For example, when you get a terrible
stomachache, you will know to have to go to gastroenterology department
instead of cardiology.
As a doctor in the future, I think it is more important to know functions of
different departments because this will help me choose proper speciality. Also,
when a patient is admitted to hospital, I can send him to the correct
department for proper treatment. When I treat a patient who have multitrauma,
I will know to cooperate smoothly with other specialists in no time to give
patient the best treatment.

I have finished the answer to question number one and now is answer to question
number 2.

In those different departments you will meet some special kinds of doctors.

For example pediatricians. They specialize in childhood medicine, or those under 18.
Obstetricians provide preventive care and disease management for pregnant health
condition

Radiologists will take x –rays or CT scans for you. They can also specialize in
radiation oncology to treat conditions like cancer.

A surgeon performs from routine procedures to organ transplants. in the operating


room, surgeons lead a team of other doctors and nurses to make sure that a
procedure goes smoothly.

Anesthesiologist renders patients unconscious or prevents them from feeling pain

Pharmacist fills prescriptions and gives medicine.

That’s all I have to say about important to know what different hospital departments
do and some special kinds of doctors.
