Okuqukethwe
Ukuya kudokotela kukwenza ushaywe uvalo. Seqa umbundu wehhovisi, siyalahleka, sikhohlwe uhhafu walokho ebesihlele ukukusho. Ngenxa yalokho, sibuyela ekhaya sinokuxilongwa okungabazekayo noma ukudideka okuphelele. Kodwa akwenzeki kithi ukubuza imibuzo futhi siphikisane nochwepheshe. Konke kumayelana ne-white coat syndrome.
Usuku lokuvakashela udokotela selufikile. Ungena ehhovisi udokotela uyabuza ukuthi ukhala ngani. Ubhala ngokudidayo zonke izimpawu ongazikhumbula. Uchwepheshe uyakuhlola, mhlawumbe abuze imibuzo embalwa, bese ebiza ukuxilongwa noma anikeze ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe. Uphuma ehhovisi, udidekile: “Ngabe uqinisile?” Kodwa uyaziqinisekisa: “Usengudokotela!”
Akulungile! Odokotela nabo abaphelele. Unelungelo lokuzwakalisa ukunganeliseki uma udokotela ejahile noma engazithatheli phezulu izikhalo zakho. Khona-ke, kungani ngokuvamile singangabazi iziphetho zodokotela futhi singaphikisi, ngisho noma besiphatha ngokungahloniphi okusobala?
Konke kumayelana nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi “i-white coat syndrome.” Sivame ukuthatha ngokushesha umuntu wezingubo ezinjalo ngokungathí sina, ubonakala kithi enolwazi futhi enekhono. Ngokunganakile siyayilalela,” kusho umhlengikazi uSarah Goldberg, umbhali wencwadi ethi The Patient's Guide: How to Navigate the World of Modern Medicine.
Ngo-1961, uprofesa waseYunivesithi yaseYale uStanley Milgram wenza ucwaningo. Izifundo bezisebenza ngababili. Kuvele ukuthi uma omunye wabo egqoke ijazi elimhlophe, owesibili waqala ukumlalela nokumphatha njengomphathi.
"UMilgram wabonisa ngokucacile ukuthi angakanani amandla esikulungele ukunikeza indoda egqoke ijazi elimhlophe nokuthi ngokuvamile sisabela kanjani ngokuzenzakalelayo ekubonakalisweni kwamandla. Wabonisa ukuthi lokhu kuwumkhuba wendawo yonke,” kubhala uSarah Goldberg encwadini yakhe.
UGoldberg, osebenze njengomhlengikazi iminyaka eminingi, usebone kaningi ukuthi i-"white coat syndrome" izibonakalisa kanjani. “La mandla kwesinye isikhathi asetshenziswa kabi futhi alimaza iziguli. Odokotela nabo bangabantu nje, akufanele ubabeke esicathulweni,” usho kanje. Nawa amanye amathiphu avela ku-Sarah Goldberg angakusiza ukuthi umelane nemiphumela yalesi sifo.
Hlanganisa ithimba elihlala njalo lodokotela
Uma uhlala ubonana nodokotela abafanayo (isb., udokotela wamazinyo, udokotela wezifo zabesifazane, udokotela wamehlo, nodokotela wamazinyo) obathembayo futhi ozizwa ukhululekile kubo, kuzoba lula ukwethembeka kubo ngezinkinga zakho. Laba ngcweti bazokwazi kakade "okujwayelekile" kwakho, futhi lokhu kuzobasiza kakhulu ekwenzeni ukuxilongwa okufanele.
Ungathembeli kodokotela kuphela
Ngokuvamile siyakhohlwa ukuthi akubona odokotela kuphela abasebenza emkhakheni wezokunakekelwa kwempilo, kodwa futhi nabanye ochwepheshe: osokhemisi nosokhemisi, abahlengikazi nabahlengikazi, i-physiotherapists nabanye abaningi. "Sigxile kakhulu ekusizeni odokotela kangangokuthi siyakhohlwa ngabanye ochwepheshe, kwezinye izimo, bangasisiza ngokushesha nangempumelelo," kusho uGoldberg.
Lungiselela ukuvakashelwa udokotela wakho
UGoldberg weluleka ngokulungiselela «isitatimende sokuvula» kusenesikhathi. Yenza uhlu lwakho konke obufuna ukukutshela udokotela. Yiziphi izimpawu ongathanda ukukhuluma ngazo? Ziqine kangakanani? Ingabe kuba kubi kakhulu ngezikhathi ezithile zosuku noma ngemva kokudla ukudla okuthile? Bhala phansi yonke into.
Uncoma futhi ukulungiselela uhlu lwemibuzo. "Uma ungabuzi imibuzo, udokotela kungenzeka aphuthelwe okuthile," kusho uGoldberg. Angazi ukuthi ungaqala kuphi? Vele ucele udokotela wakho ukuthi akuchazele zonke izincomo ngokuningiliziwe. “Uma uxilongwa, noma utshelwe ukuthi ubuhlungu obuzwayo bujwayelekile, noma uthi uzolinda ubone ukuthi isimo sakho sishintsha kanjani, ungakuvumeli lokho. Uma kukhona ongakuqondi cela incazelo,” usho kanje.
Cela othandekayo ukuthi akuphelezele
Ngokuvamile, lapho singena ehhovisi likadokotela, sinovalo ngoba kungenzeka singabi naso isikhathi sokusho konke ngesikhathi esifushane kangaka. Njengomphumela, sikhohlwa ngempela ukubika imininingwane ethile ebalulekile.
Uma wesaba ukuthi ngeke ukwazi ukuchaza yonke into ngendlela efanele, ngisho nangokwenza uhlelo ephepheni, uGoldberg weluleka ngokuthi ucele othile oseduze ukuthi akuphelezele. Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ukuba khona nje komngane noma isihlobo kungakusiza ukwehlisa umoya. Ngaphezu kwalokho, othandekayo angakukhumbuza imininingwane ethile ebalulekile uma ukhohlwa ukutshela udokotela ngabo.
