15. Antecedentes médicos: cómo preguntar por la historia médica y familiar
In this episode, I’m going to highlight the importance of taking accurate and complete medical histories from patients, regardless of how long it has been since the procedures or illnesses occurred.
We will go over the most important questions to ask for collecting information about medical and family history in Spanish and how this information can be critical to making informed decisions about diagnoses, treatments and medications.
The medical history is an essential aspect of patient care, as it helps healthcare personnel make informed decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and medication.
However, patients often overlook the importance of their past medical procedures and illnesses, assuming that they are not relevant to whether they feel well today.
This can be detrimental to your health and can lead to misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment.
