Aspects to note during the consultation regarding the physician's explanation
A thorough consultation typically includes the physician's assessment of individual conditions and two-way communication, rather than just introducing the treatment. Note whether the physician explains the treatment principles, potential risks and adverse reactions, recovery care, and alternative options, and allows room for questions. Whether to proceed with the treatment should be decided after full understanding. This website does not provide personal medical advice.
