Prolonged Health Problems

The customary procedure in the German health system is not designed for the special situation of patients with prolonged and chronic illnesses. There are considerable deficits regarding information and communication among those working in the system (Krankenhaus-Report ´99; Schattauer-Verlag 2000). Medical treatments are often not well coordinated, thus the result of the treatment is frequently not satisfactory (according to the German Medical Journal (Deutsches Ärzteblatt, August 2, 2001). Furthermore, medical treatments do not take the patient’s everyday life circumstances into account, thus often remaining ineffective.

There are many questions left unanswered for the patient. At first, there is the question as to which medical diagnostic investigation and treatment are the best. Next, the question of how the illness and its consequences can be integrated into the reality of everyday life. Do normal routines (family, meals, leisure, etc.) need to be changed? Is it possible to continue working in the same profession? How can side effects of a treatment be kept to a minimum? How can I regain my energy level?

PatientCONSULT is able to help you by offering careful and competent consultation.
