General Medicine diagnoses and treats adult illness such as fever, infection, diabetes, blood pressure and thyroid problems, and is the department most patients meet first. The physicians here diagnose and treat adult illness that is not obviously surgical, and decide when a specialist, an admission or a scan is needed. Because the laboratory, X-ray, ultrasound and pharmacy are all on site and open around the clock, a patient can usually be examined, tested and started on treatment in a single visit.

Seasonal fever, dengue, typhoid, uncontrolled blood pressure and diabetes-related complications make up much of the department's day-to-day work in the Pragathi Nagar and Nizampet area.

Questions patients ask

Do I need an appointment to see a general physician?

Walk-in consultations are usually possible during OPD hours, but calling +91 7288 080 222 ahead means you get a slot and avoid the wait. Emergencies do not need an appointment at any hour.

Can my blood tests be done here on the same day?

Yes. The laboratory runs in-house 24/7 for haematology, biochemistry and pathology, so most routine reports come back the same visit and the physician can act on them immediately.

When is a fever serious enough to come in?

Come in for fever lasting more than three days, fever with breathlessness, chest pain, persistent vomiting, severe headache, bleeding gums, a rash or drowsiness, or any fever in someone elderly, pregnant or with diabetes or heart disease. In the dengue season, a falling platelet count needs monitoring rather than waiting.

Do you treat both diabetes and blood pressure together?

Yes, and they are usually managed together because they affect the same organs. The physician works with the diabetology team where insulin adjustment or complication screening is needed.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Bring your previous prescriptions, any reports from the last year, and a list of all medicines you currently take including anything bought over the counter. If you monitor your sugar or blood pressure at home, bring the readings.
