Where to go for routine physical examination

For routine physical examinations, the health management center of a public tertiary hospital is preferred. Those who have high requirements for service experience can choose regular head chain physical examination institutions. If only basic projects are provided, community health service centers are also sufficient.

A while ago, I helped my cousin who had just graduated to choose a job at a physical examination institution. I did a lot of homework and listened to many friends around me talk about the pitfalls they had encountered before I figured out the way to do it. In the past, a male colleague wanted to save trouble and chose a small physical examination clinic downstairs that had been open for less than half a year. The entry package, which cost more than 100 yuan, was completed in less than half an hour. As a result, the chest X-ray report did not even mention the 3mm small pulmonary nodule that he had been following for two years. Later, he went to a tertiary hospital for a re-examination before passing the employment review. It cost more money to go back and forth.

Don't tell me, the professionalism of the public tertiary hospitals is indeed the most stable. The doctor's qualifications, equipment accuracy, and reporting rigor are all on the surface. Many doctors in the health management centers of the tertiary hospitals are rotated from clinical departments. The doctors who read the films are also specialists in the radiology department. They are not the kind of technicians who have only received short-term training. If abnormalities are detected, they can be directly connected to the specialist clinic for further examination. The clinic will recognize the results of previous physical examinations, so there is no need to spend money on repeated examinations. Of course, there are a lot of drawbacks. I arrived at 7:30 for my last physical examination. The B-ultrasound line queued for almost two hours. The nurses were so busy that they had to wait for a long time before they could even answer a question about where the project was performed. It is really not friendly to people who are pressed for time and care about experience.

At this time, many people who have precious time or are afraid of trouble will turn to chain physical examination institutions. My mother felt that there were too many public institutions for her physical examination last year, so she chose a national chain brand that has been in business for almost ten years. However, there are many pitfalls here. A friend of mine went to a local small chain for a physical examination. In order to boost sales, the agency tried its best to push her a useless anti-cancer gene testing package, which cost her more than 2,000 yuan. Later, I found out that the test was not suitable for routine screening of ordinary healthy people. In order to reduce operating costs, some small institutions used old equipment that had been retired from hospitals. Some small polyps and nodules can easily be missed, which in turn delays things.

If you just want to do a basic screening of blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood routine for the elderly at home, then the community health service center near your home is the most cost-effective. Many communities have free annual physical examination programs for seniors over 65 years old. The doctors are also familiar with the health conditions of the residents in the jurisdiction. If you have any questions, they can directly help you create a health file. Follow-up visits will be followed up, so you don’t have to travel all the way.

In fact, there is no absolute optimal solution. The core depends on what your demands are for this physical examination. Don’t be greedy and choose an unqualified agency. Basically, there will be no major problems.
