But all the same, there are those roles that are common for all Mt Sterling doctors. These include the following.

Consultation. When patients visit a medical center or a hospital, they are referred to a doctor who listens to them as they explain their situations and illness.

Consultation may also involve general check-ups.

Involve diagnosing of particular diseases. After listening to the symptoms as explained by the patients, they use their professional knowledge to identify the illness the person could be suffering from. If it proves difficult, since different diseases portray the same kind of signs, a medic need to carry out scientific tests to come up with a clear identity of a disease.

Treatment then follows. The physician has a duty to decide which drugs to administer to the sick depending on the results acquired earlier. Depending on the nature of the sickness treatment can vary. There those who need special treatment and if the acting doctor has not specialized in the field, then it is their duty to refer the patient to the relevant specialist.
