Is It Important For BP To Regularize To Treat Back Injury?
my relative fell down & got his back bone damaged, the present hospital has only treatment for ortho but they say he has cough & his BP is high so they are unable to give proper treatment, as they say that for any treatment other than bone they have to call doctors from outside & even for scanning the patient has to be taken out, can this case be treated at your hospital

Hi,
In big corporate or government hospitals there are all departments of different faculties.
In one faculty if work or examination of other faculty requires then they refer to that particular faculty for examination and investigations.
In your case orthopedic surgeon requires some investigations or opinion from medical faculty they refer to medical department.
If in that particular hospital there is no medical specialist available, they refer out side for medical check up.
After medical report orthopedic surgeon go further for treatment.
Ok and take care.
