General Medicine
General medicine, also known as internal medicine, is a branch of medicine that covers all types of diseases that affect your internal organs. General medicine doctors, also referred to as physicians, diagnose and treat various types of diseases.
If you have any pain or symptoms that do not point to a specific illness, you should consult general medicine doctors. The doctor will examine you and based on your particular symptoms, will either suggest treatment or refer you to a specialist for a detailed diagnosis.
