First, there is Surgery, which is the English word for Clinic.
A Medical Centre
A Hospital
Surgery is the so-called GP (General Practitioner)? A family doctor is a general practitioner in a private practice. Generally speaking, you need to have a doctor who is your family doctor, who understands your health condition, and you can go to your family doctor for minor illnesses like colds and fevers. If his equipment is limited, or your condition is special, he will write a letter of introduction to introduce you to hospital, or specialist (specialist, generally vice located inside the medical center) to see a doctor, simply said surgery is like a domestic hospital outpatient clinic or a small clinic, you just need to find the right one with experience and good credit, in fact, the general You just need to find a good clinic with experience and good credit, in fact, general diseases, even maternity, trauma, they can deal with. There is also a point to note that GP has the so-called bulk billing, that is, as long as you have Medicare, it is completely free (unless the government does not pay for things such as vaccines, etc.), and if it is not bulk billing. For example, if you are a foreign student at Medibank, you will have to pay the full amount first, and then go to the Medicare Center to get 85% back.
The downside of GPs is that they are not available 24/7, and the quality varies, but I've heard that it's more secure to find a Bulk Billing doctor. First, it's free, and second, he has a way to ask the government for money without you having to settle the bill, which means that he's got a certain amount of credibility.
Medical Centre He is like a private general hospital, although it is private, but because of the concentration of a number of specialists, so the equipment and expertise will be more abundant. Because it is private, so it is also the first charge, very few bulk billing center, of course, there are a variety of doctors, so if you think your condition is a little complicated, it is recommended that you can go to the medical center to see, but I have to tell you first, that is very expensive, even after the refund is still let a person heartbreaking, especially if you move to the instrumentation, it is more expensive. It's very expensive, even after the refund, especially if you need to use equipment.
Next is a completely free ticket to see the Hospital in the end, but also let you hate itchy hospital. With the domestic difference is that the general hospital does not have the so-called "outpatient", that is, you want to see the doctor, you must go through the Emergency Room (Emergency) of the filter to work. Emergency room as a filter of that nurse called Triage nurse, said filtering, in fact, I think his work is in the didactic. You registered first in the waiting room after waiting room, etc. Triage nurse called you into the triage room, he will ask you about your symptoms and some medical history, and then ask you to go back to the waiting room, etc., they will classify the patient, that is, in accordance with the degree of urgency of the symptoms of the categorization, and in the wall of the wall behind the real emergency room, and so on, you were called to the emergency room, then you can see the doctor, and only then will be able to see the doctor, and only then will be able to see the doctor. It is only after you are called to the emergency room that you can see a doctor and be treated.
Patients are generally divided into five levels, if you are 1-2, there is no doubt that you must be ambulance scourge beds pushed to, but if you are 4, you have to wait for the 3 level of patients to see the end of the turn of the patient to you, so it is definitely not the first to come first to see, you have to be mentally prepared for two or three hours is not to run away.
Generally speaking, I have heard of the Asian symptoms of fever, stomach pain, toothache, etc., you must have heard that they only give you Panadol words, that is true, because in the Western medical concept, you have a fever or stomach pain, you have to eat Panadol first, the first 觧 pain stop fever, if because of this symptom elimination, that's good, all right, but then the drug effect of the retreat, or simply can not lift the symptoms, then, you will not be able to see, you will not be able to see, you will not be able to see, you will not be able to see. However, if the symptoms do not go away after the medicine has worn off, or if the symptoms do not go away at all, then it means that there is a special condition and you should see a doctor. So if you don't take care of yourself and rush to the emergency room, then the consequence is usually to cry for 3 hours and get two pills of Panadol.
No one wants to wait 3 hours in the emergency room to have such a consequence, so please think of your own way to stop the pain, if you really can't control it, first find your family doctor, if on holiday then go to hospital or medical center.
In addition, about the ambulance ambulance use, you have to pay more than AUD 400 for the ambulance if you don't have an ambulance insurance, you have to pay more than AUD 400 for the ambulance.
