Soria has a slightly higher population over the age of 64 than Castile and Leon. The province has nearly 90,000 residents and the need for medical assistance is undeniable. As a result of the pandemic and the lack of generational replacement of health professionals, La Torre Hospital and its family medicine consultations were born.
This is a profession that provides ongoing, comprehensive health care and attention to individuals, families and communities. In it, the physician uses his or her knowledge, experience, sensitivity, intuition, and conscience to explore the patient’s concerns, discomfort, pain, suffering, or injury to provide a diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment.
Such consultation includes history, physical examination, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Additionally, your weight, height, blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs are checked to help you understand if your body is balanced and your systems are working properly. If necessary, your family doctor will conduct necessary consultations with other medical specialties to arrive at the correct diagnosis and treatment.
On the other hand, this professional is responsible for controlling, monitoring, advising and promoting the health of the patient. He is also responsible for handling pathology, preparing reports, prescriptions, requesting tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, diagnostic tests or referrals for other consultations, etc.
The service is available to users every morning and two afternoons every week. Consultation hours are from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm to 5:00 pm. to 9:00 pm every other day.
In short, this person is dedicated to taking care of the health of all Soriano people who come to HTL.
