In the admissions department of the Medical Club clinic, a large family is bustling about, everyone is very worried about its main member – grandfather, who was brought from afar. Grandfather underwent several operations in different clinics, and now the family is waiting for the verdict of Dr. Andrey Ruban, the head of the ophthalmological department of the clinic, in whom everyone has the last hope. However, there are many other concerned patients here, anxiously waiting for an appointment. Everyone knows that the doctor will definitely see each patient complaining of vision problems personally. How does he manage to find time and attention for each patient, and why do ophthalmic patients often consider the Medical Club clinic to be their last resort? About this and much more – especially for readers Estet-portal.com told – Do you ever have a situation where, at the first glance at the patient who has entered, you can quite clearly assume what vision problem brought the person to the clinic?
– The art of healing, requiring observation from the doctor & nbsp; and deep knowledge regarding various pathologies, goes back thousands of years. One of the eminent professors of the Kyiv University of St. Vladimir E. Mandelstam wrote in his monograph in 1889 that an experienced doctor, even before starting to communicate with a patient, should be able to look at his appearance, how he walks, how he orients himself in space , according to the position of his head, make a preliminary diagnosis. Believe me, even today, despite the fact that modern clinics have a wide range of expensive diagnostic equipment, the role of medical observation in the art of making the correct diagnosis cannot be overestimated.
In addition, the patient's face can also be used to determine how tuned he is to the – he is aggressive or, conversely, friendly. It is very important to set up the patient positively already at the first consultation. If the patient is not set up for contact, if there is no communication with the doctor, then no matter what we do, no matter how successfully we solve the most complex surgical problems, the patient will be dissatisfied with the result. This is probably one of the most serious medical problems. It happens that the patient's vision is restored to 100%, but he leaves dissatisfied. And it happens that the patient does not get maximum vision at all, but is completely satisfied and & nbsp; thank you.
Modern surgeons – they are 50/50 specialists: one half is the skills of a master craftsman who performs delicate unique surgical manipulations, and the other half is the ability to be a psychologist, who must, first of all, understand the patient's mood, understand his problems and expectations, which may not always be associated with eye disease. And try to help him as much as possible.
– Does it happen that the patient has serious vision problems, but his positive attitude improves the result of the treatment?
– Undoubtedly. Patient motivation – this is a very important factor that we take into account and which we focus on when deciding whether to conduct an operation or not. Of course, if the patient is positive about the operation, believes in its positive outcome, then the chances of getting the desired result are higher. And vice versa, if the patient initially sees only problems, tunes in only to complications, then, as practice shows, unfortunately, it will be so.
– What is the average age of patients who visit the Medical Club Ophthalmology Department?
– Perhaps these are people 45-60 years old, even a little younger. This suggests that many of our patients – people of working age, and the relevance of our Center, the tasks solved here is very high. After all, the same diabetes mellitus, as one of the main causes of a decrease in central vision in patients in developed countries, leads us to quite young people at the peak of their careers. If we are talking about injuries, then these are generally young people. If we mention retinal detachment, it is also a working category of the population that places high demands on the quality of its vision. Therefore, working with such a target audience, we understand that we must restore vision with the maximum completeness, use the most modern minimally invasive surgical technologies,
– Does it happen that a patient comes to your clinic for an initial appointment and at the same time is not able to clearly articulate what problem with his vision worries him?– You know, all my medical practice I deal with patients with retinal problems. This is one of the most difficult categories in ophthalmology, where, most often, surgery remains the only way for them not to go blind. And when before the operation the patient sees only the movement of the hand near the face, and after – can read, see relatives and friends, is able to live an active life, then at such moments you feel pride and joy for the profession.

Therefore, when a patient comes to a consultation complaining of "floating" flies before the eyes, discomfort, fatigue in the eyes, then the first thing you think about – thank God he doesn't know what really serious eye problems are.
there are no "non-serious" problems, but there are "not serious" doctors.
<Each patient who manages to be helped - this is our small common victory, a powerful energy charge that gives strength!
