Patients may present with fever, fatigue, breathlessness, pain, digestive symptoms or poorly controlled conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, heart, lung, kidney or neurological disease. The physician builds a complete clinical picture through history, examination and targeted laboratory, imaging or endoscopic investigations. Care can involve medicines, lifestyle and prevention plans, inpatient treatment, monitoring or referral to another specialty for procedures and shared management. The department aims to resolve acute problems, bring chronic conditions under control and provide one coordinated plan for overall health.
