Home Β» Specialty Care Β» Internal Medicine. Internists have a broad understanding of how the human body works, or fails to work.
Other specialists see medical issues in a narrower, yet focused, approach, sometimes missing the larger picture which falls outside their scope of practice. General internists are equipped to handle a broad and comprehensive spectrum of illnesses that affect adults.
They are recognized as experts in diagnosis, in treatment of chronic illness, and in health promotion and disease preventionβthey are not limited to one type of medical problem or organ system. General internists are equipped to deal with most problems a patient bringsβno matter how common or rare, or how simple or complex.
They are specially trained to solve puzzling diagnostic problems and can handle severe chronic illnesses and situations where several different illnesses may strike at the same time.
Usually, in case of severe multiple-illnesses, the patient is treated in hospital by multi-specialty group. After being released, the internist coordinates the follow-up care. FirstMed is an international-standard healthcare company providing English-language outpatient care in Europe.
