Who is a general physician?
General physicians are medical doctors who provide a broad range of non-surgical medical expertise and health care to patients. Most general physicians treat hospitalised patients, while others treat patients through their private consultations.
Who is an internal medicine physician?
An Internal medicine physician is a medical doctor who is highly proficient in internal medicine. These physicians mainly focus on diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases or injuries. They are specifically trained in detecting and treating common illnesses, chronic and acute illnesses, and other complicated diagnostic problems. Internal medicine physicians treat adults with generic medications, although they undergo frequent training in subspecialties such as infectious diseases.
When should you consult a general physician?
General physicians provide treatment for a particular medical condition and holistic health care for all patients.
Roles of a general physician
- Complicated care: General physicians are trained to treat patients with complex illnesses where the diagnosis can be difficult. A general physician’s broad training offers proficiency in the detection and treatment of medical conditions affecting different parts of the body.
- Medical procedures: A general physician is trained to carry out different medical procedures and monitors patients with serious and complex illnesses.
- Detection: General physicians are trained in the usefulness, costs, and limitations of most diagnostic tests. They use these diagnostic tests safely, logically and effectively to inspect difficult diagnostic issues.
- Treatment: General physicians are specialised in the detailed analysis of all research reports and drug industry claims about the new treatments. They are proficient in making decisions related to treating patients with complex and severe illnesses.
- Pre and post-operative examination: General physicians are often asked to review their patients before surgery. They advise all the surgeons about the patient’s risk status and refer to proper management to lower the risk of the operation.
What medical conditions can general physicians treat?
A general physician can treat various health conditions. Some of them include:

What all tests can a general physician tell you?

Hence, a general physician may recommend a patient to a specialist for further testing if the condition becomes complicated and cannot be treated with medications.
