Do you have a family doctor?   While the concept of family physicians is common in the West, it is still quite new to the people in Hong Kong. Does family doctor refer to the doctor that I have been going to since I was small? Is it better foe me to find specialists when I am sick? A family doctor is a community-oriented physician who provides continuous and all-rounded medical services to his patients. They are not just doctors that cure us; they are friends of our family. In this book, different medical issues such as heart diseases, diabetes, cancers, gynaecological disease, chronic diseases, emotion-driven diseases, child care, drug issues…are being covered one by one. In each case, a family doctor will share his/her experience and insights into treating the disease, showing us how a family doctor take care our holistic well-being.
