General practitioners provide general medical services. Also known as family doctor or family doctor, it is the main provider of health management services. General practitioners have unique attitudes, skills and knowledge, which makes them qualified to provide continuous and comprehensive medical, nursing, health maintenance and preventive services for every member of the family.
General practitioners deal with common diseases, frequently-occurring diseases and general emergencies in the form of outpatient service, which is generally omnipotent; Another feature of community general practitioners' work is on-site service. General practitioners often deal with family patients in the form of home visits, and establish their own family beds and medical files according to the different conditions of patients.

Types of family doctors:
1, registered general practitioners (including assistant general practitioners and traditional Chinese medicine general practitioners) in primary medical and health institutions.
2. Have the ability of doctors in township hospitals and rural doctors.
3. Qualified physicians in public hospitals and retired clinicians with intermediate titles or above, especially physicians in internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics and traditional Chinese medicine.
The work of a family doctor includes:
First of all, your family must have a contracted family doctor. Ta is responsible for the health problems of your family. Attention is not only about diseases.
Secondly, ta will make corresponding health records for each of your family members. Record the health status of your family members, from children to the elderly and pregnant women, including everyone. And give health guidance to the corresponding special population.
Then, for common ailments, such as minor pain, headache, brain fever, stomach pain, etc. For complex and unclear problems that require specialist treatment, ta will refer you to the corresponding large hospital for treatment, and patients referred by family doctors will have higher priority.
Chronic disease management, blood pressure and blood sugar monitoring, continuous attention, not only you go to see a doctor, but also your family doctor will come to see you regularly.
For example, you may stay in a big hospital for three days and five days, and return to the community soon after the operation. The hospital won't let you stay long. Your family doctor is responsible for postoperative rehabilitation guidance, removing stitches, telling you what to eat and when to get out of bed.
Hospice care, psychological guidance, for patients at the end of life, family doctors aim at improving the quality of life of patients, such as pain treatment in terminal cancer. Ta can prescribe drugs for you (patients with advanced cancer use painkillers such as morphine to relieve pain, and everyone who has prescribed them knows how reluctant doctors are to prescribe these drugs) to guide patients and their families to face death. Provide psychological counseling for other family members who have experienced the death of their loved ones.
I hope that this model of family doctor will become more and more perfect and practical in the future and become the guardian of people's health. To become a general practitioner, we must first graduate from clinical specialty, obtain the qualification of practicing doctor and complete the standardized training of general practitioners.
