About Internal Medicine

Internal medicine is a specialised field dedicated to diagnosing and treating illnesses in adults, similar to how paediatricians focus on children and geriatricians on the elderly. Internists typically care for patients aged 16 to 75, though their expertise often extends beyond these age ranges when required.

What sets internists apart?

Expertise in managing complex, multisystem conditions affecting multiple organs.
Specialisation in addressing undifferentiated symptoms, such as fatigue, weight loss, chest pain, or confusion.
Ability to handle serious acute illnesses and multiple chronic conditions (comorbidities) in a single patient.

When should you consult an internist?

You should consider consulting an internist if you are experiencing unclear or unexplained symptoms, have seen a single-organ specialist without receiving definitive answers, or are managing multiple chronic conditions that require coordinated care. Internists are skilled in evaluating complex health issues and providing comprehensive treatment plans to address all aspects of your health.

Comprehensive Care for Complex Conditions

Internists are experts in piecing together the bigger picture when it comes to health. Whether you are experiencing symptoms without a clear cause or managing multiple conditions simultaneously, our focus is on providing comprehensive care. We aim to address your concerns holistically, considering the interconnectedness of various health issues and how they affect your overall well-being.

From identifying the root cause of your symptoms to guiding you through treatment, we are dedicated to supporting you every step of the way. Our commitment is to help you achieve clarity and confidence in your health journey.

comparing Internal Medicine with General Practitioners & medical subspecialties

General practitioners (GPs), internists, and medical subspecialists each have distinct roles in healthcare, which can be likened to levels of diving:

GPs: Like snorkelers, GPs handle general health issues such as colds, indigestion, and basic diabetes care, treating a broad range of patients. They provide general screenings and refer patients to specialists when issues become complex.

Internists: Similar to scuba divers, internists delve deeper into adult health complexities. They conduct thorough assessments to identify the root cause of symptoms, such as chest pain, which could stem from the heart, lungs, or other organs and often treat these conditions directly.

Medical Subspecialists: Comparable to technical divers with advanced tools, subspecialists focus on specific conditions identified by internists. For example, a cardiologist may perform an angiogram or stenting for coronary blockages diagnosed by the internist.

Internists bridge the gap between general care and subspecialties, providing comprehensive evaluations and guiding patients toward the right treatments.

in-depth assessments By Internists

Internists are trained to perform thorough assessments to uncover the underlying causes of symptoms, even when they appear ambiguous. For example, symptoms like chest pain may have origins in multiple organ systems—the heart, lungs, stomach, or even the spine—and each requires a different treatment approach.

By employing detailed diagnostic evaluations, internists ensure no detail is overlooked. Their expertise lies in creating a “differential diagnosis”, a structured list of potential causes for a symptom or condition that guides the best course of action. This in-depth approach ensures that patients receive precise treatment plans tailored to their individual needs.

Change For the Better

Our philosophy

The name of our clinic, Kaizen Medical, reflects our philosophy and dedication to continuous improvement. The Japanese 改善 (Kaizen) translates as “change for the better.” As used in business philosophy, Kaizen puts a focus on the processes that, little by little, improve outcomes for the entity adopting this approach. The concept of Kaizen encompasses a wide range of ideas. It involves making the work environment more efficient and effective by creating a team atmosphere, improving everyday procedures, ensuring employee engagement, and making a job more fulfilling, less tiring, and safer. So on the surface, this seems to be about us. As a patient, you may now wonder how this philosophy can benefit you.
