Internal Medicine

Internal medicine I grew up in the town of Vallabh Vidyanagar (India), and I always had the ambition to become a "doctor". My family encourages me to follow my dreams when I was young. When I was a child my grandmother was suffering from heart failure secondary to mitral valve stenosis. I remember seeing the doctor checking her with a "stethoscope", and I was curious about what they are listening to. I always wanted to put my headphones on my ear. When I was a high school student, my sister continued going to the medical department and was discussing anatomical issues with my friend at home.

Historically, internal medicine and home medicine have developed from different backgrounds. Internal medicine was developed from the second half of the 19th century to apply scientific knowledge to medical treatment. This "scientific" medical method was unique at the time and gradually applied to various diseases that usually attack adults. Pediatrics development and development at the beginning of the 20th century is becoming an independent occupation specializing in care for children, internal medicine continues to focus on adult patients.

The term internal medicine in English comes from the German Innere Medizin of the 19th century. In addition to clinical clinical evaluation of patients, internal medicine has also investigated the underlying pathological causes of symptoms and syndrome through clinical examination. In contrast, previous generation doctors such as 17th century physician Thomas Sydenham and "Hippocrate", which was known as the father of British medicine, was developed by clinical diagnostic methods. Disease science (disease investigation). Management by careful clinical investigation on the natural history of disease and its treatment. To take into account the internal mechanisms and causes of the symptoms, Sydenham avoided necropsy and examination of the internal workings of the body. Laboratory studies are becoming increasingly important and doctors including German doctors and bacteriologist Robert Koch contributed in the 19th century.

Internal medicine specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases. According to some sources, emphasis on internal structure is implied. In North America, health professionals are often referred to as "doctors". In other areas, especially the British Commonwealth countries, these experts are often referred to as doctors. These terms do not include physicians or physicians (in a narrow sense, general outside North America), usually obstetric gynecology, pathology, psychiatry, especially surgery and subordinate experts.
