Beutel Health Center Be sure to talk to your physi cian. You are partners in your medical care. Last week, we encouraged you to list questions you have and discuss your med ical history with your physician. Today, we will highlight your diagnosis, treatment and pre ventive care. The doctor’s knowledge of your particular case comes from you. Your doctor may not be able to give you a complete diagnosis during your first visit. Except for broken bones and open wounds, the chances for a quick and clear diagnosis are few. The symptoms you have may be too vague, similar to many differ ent conditions, or not evident in laboratory tests. Physicians may prefer to wait for distinct symptoms rather than risk an incorrect diagnosis. Once a medical diagnosis is assigned to a patient, it is difficult to change it. In addition, selecting the wrong kind of treatment may be more damaging than not treating the condition at all. Give a complete description of all your symptoms (fever, headache, cough, fatigue, loca tion of aches or pains, and any other observations you have made) and when they began. Identify what causes you pain or discomfort and when and where you feel it. How intense is the pain? Does it interfere with everyday activities? Is it con stant or intermittent? Tell the doctor about recent changes, such as weight fluctua tions, stresses suffered, or sleeping, eating and exercise habits. Include any changes you have noticed in both your body and mind, such as dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, bleeding or vomiting. How have you treated it so far? What makes the symp tom less of a problem? Learn to “listen” to your body and to describe what is going on in it. Follow your doctor’s advice. If you do not intend to carry out your treatment plan, it is a waste of your time — as well as the doctor’s time. If you know you will have trou ble following the treatment plan, discuss your concern with your doctor before you leave the office. Know the name of any medication and what it does. Know how and when to take it and for how long. Know what to do if you miss a dose. Know if you should keep taking the medicine until the pre scription is used up or just until you feel better. Check if you should avoid any foods, beverages, medicines or activities such as driving, smok ing, exercising or sun exposure. Ask about possible side effects and what to do if they occur. Be sure to understand the physician’s instructions and to follow them. Ask questions about anything unclear and repeat the answers to the doctor in your own words to make sure there is no confusion.

Malon Southerland, vice presi dent for student affairs, appointed the task force because international students are vulnerable to high medical costs. “It has become a major concern that international students have medical coverage,” he said, “because if a student who doesn’t have insurance has an acci dent, that student’s family will endure major medical bills.” Students wanting to attend a univer sity in the United States must prove they will be able to support themselves finan cially before they can obtain a visa. If granted a visa, the student is not eli gible to receive any federal financial assis tance, including Medicaid or Medicare. Federally funded student loans are also off-limits to international students. Dr. Lucille Isdale, director of Student Health Services, said international stu dents who already have medical insur ance that meets the minimum require ments may obtain a waiver. Suzanne Droleskey, director of International Student Services, said she supports the decision. “There are tremendous reasons for what has happened,” Droleskey said. “I have seen too many (international) stu dents in hospital beds who have been devastated by a financial burden.” Although tuition is more costly for international students, many say the insurance requirement will not be a financial problem. Javier Cheung, an international stu dent from Panama and senior industrial engineering major, said he does not think the new requirements will keep students from choosing A&M. “I’ve always had medical insurance, since I’ve been here,” Cheung said. “I know of some students who took it as a shock, but they’re not dropping the school because of it.” Droleskey said there is no penalty for not having insurance this fall, but international students must prove they have insurance by Oct. 15. Students failing to provide proof of insurance will be blocked from registra tion in the Spring.

Oberhelman said the general sense amongb ty members is that if there is going to be a tenure review policy, then the present recommec tion is a “good document.” Faculty members will be able to ask quesi and voice opinions concerning the policy at university-wide forums.
