Honest Communication: If you have financial difficulties, you can openly inform the doctor, who will weigh the benefits and costs for you.
Managing Expectations:
Medicine is not omnipotent. Many chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, cannot be cured. The goal is to control the illness and coexist peacefully with the disease.
The "breakthroughs" reported in the news often have a long way to go before widespread clinical application.
No doctor can guarantee 100% cure or 0 risk, which respects medical science and recognizes the complexity of life. If you encounter such doctors, try to avoid them.
Understanding "Informed Consent": The informed consent form signed before surgeries or invasive procedures lists each risk, even if the probability is very low, has actually happened. Signing means you acknowledge and understand these potential risks, agree to treatment, and the doctor will do their best to prevent and respond.
