With advancements in the medical sciences, one of the challenges has been that many a times the patients are not sure which doctor they should consult for their health problem. This often leads to visits to many doctors before finding the right one. This becomes even more important if you happen to suffers from a rare disorder.
Most doctors practising in the community are either family physicians or specialists. The family physicians or primary care doctors generally treat routine ailments such as stomach upsets, cold, flu or minor wounds and also conduct regular check-ups. The specialists are specific to an organ or system of the body like a cardiologist for heart problems or a neurologist for brain related ailments.
Even among the specialities there can be a medical or surgical doctor for the same problem and consulting the right one can save time. One example could be consulting a nephrologist for an acute episode of pain due to a kidney stone, when you should be seeing a Urologist. Currently there are over 60 medical specialities with over 100 medical specialists in the medical field with there being many sub-specialities within a speciality.
