Health Tips
Medical knowledge facilitates health care
By Jane W. Cohen, Ph.D., R.D.
A.P. 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. Doctors
tend to listen more attentively

Dr. J. 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

Faculty members will be able to ask quesi
