Medical history
The anamnesis is the gathering of important information for the treatment of a patient. The word comes from the Greek “anamnêsis” and means memory. The information obtained during the consultation is of the utmost importance in order to be able to individually assess the benefits and risks of treatment. Trust is a basic prerequisite for a correct anamnesis, as it is essential to ask for personal information, such as pregnancy.
A careful medical history should not omit important information that could, for example, affect the risk of thrombosis (e.g. cigarette smoking or hormonal contraceptives). In order not to forget anything and to give you time to remember all the details, the anamnesis in the CenterPlast is supplemented with a questionnaire.
