Hi guys, My name is Darek Krasnicki
and in this video I'd like to tell you how a 42 year old tourist, totally
lost in translation,
whilst enduring a bad cold which she had been fighting for 2 weeks,
was facing the unbearable situation of having to take a long flight home
without having received any medical assistance and how she was eventually able to quickly
get rid of the congestion and coughing before her flight.
I'm a Polish doctor who travels all around the world
And I know from my first-hand experiences how travelling internationally
can expose your health to risks in often unfamiliar environments.
Of course health risks associated with travel, can be minimized by suitable precautions taken
in advance, but more often than not, an illness will appear
with little or no warning.
It's very likely that you will meet a foreign doctor who cannot
speak English well enough to treat English speaking patients
Of course not knowing English doesn't have to result in serious blunders.
But I can't stress strongly enough that you must be confident
that the doctor who treats you has the communication skills to do the job.
At the beginning of my video I gave you a typical example of a patient of mine who
suffered for a long time simply because she couldn't find an English Speaking
doctor quickly.
When she found me, she had a deep cough that made it difficult for her to sleep
as well as a large build-up of fluids in her sinuses.
In addition she was feeling quite run down by this infection.
After medical examination It seemed to me that she needed an antibiotic
at that point.
Having only taken a few pills she recovered very quickly,
so flying home was not a nuisance for her.
When you come in to my office, generally, you will be the only patient there
and you will have my full, undivided attention.
I will only recommend treatment for you that I would have for myself
and I'll go through all of the therapeutic options with you.
My patients are seen one-at-a-time, and on time.
So, if you are in Wroclaw and the worst comes to the worst
just send me an email lekarz@krasnicki.com.pl and you will be able to get in touch with
me.
Very often my surgery, at 215 Zernicka street in Wroclaw,
is the first point of contact with the Polish Medical Community,
especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition
that requires on going care.
Not only can I diagnose and treat my English speaking patients in a professional and timely
manner, when necessary I can also refer specific cases to English speaking, health care specialists
whose surgeries are also located in Wroclaw.
