National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch

???‍? ??? 不能說辛苦，醫院裡的醫護跟病人更辛苦 只能說我們能力不夠、時間精力不夠…… 如果你感到憂鬱，表示你活在過去 如果你感到焦慮，表示你活在未來 如果你感到平靜，表示你活在當下 每當我感到憤怒，我知道我是想到了過去 我會跟自己說：活在當下就好了 平靜很簡單，專注眼前的事情 胡思亂想、空想、妄想都不會出現 我學會的時候才知道幸福這麼簡單。 記得的事情越來越少了，煩惱也忘記了 在意的東西越來越少了，就越來越快樂了 照片是有一個小颱風天 彩虹只出現了10分鐘 從一半到全部顯現，突然下雨又消失了 很少能看見七個顏色都出現 也很少在市區可以看到整個彩虹 其他的路人低頭看著手上的藥袋沒有發現彩虹 我跟其他人說：看有彩虹 照片裡面最棒的事情是新竹分院祝您健康 建築上是「靜心樓」 希望看到這張照片的人都能開開心心平安健康?

Fairly excellent

i don't know....

Don't hate me... And I don't hate you. But. You don't give me right date... How long I need waiting! .

My review is more related to the Family doctor's division. Last year I made 2 visits with more than 2 hours (per visit) await in line for a 2-3 minute visit/talk to family doctors. The long await and short visits (mostly due to a crowd of elders) weren't my major concerns. However, I think that's important to take into account before visiting a family doctor there. It seems to me there's a shortage of family doctor professionals. Last year my IBS symptoms got worse especially after eating some foods in the morning and plus I got some upper stomach discomfort. So I decided to consult a professional at this hospital and the registration desk kindly directed me to a family doctor. At my very first visit, after I talked about my symptoms to a doctor, she prescribed me some pills from my discomfort and I was told to do my feces and urine. I asked about the blood test which is the very first basic test doctors in my country (Russia) require patients to do. However, the doctor said there was no need to do one, in other words, she won't be sending me for a blood test. But if I wanted I could do it myself without her reference. Honestly I was stunned a bit so I thought it's perhaps Russia (as often) differs from the rest of the world regarding such procedures. But I was wrong. I'd surveyed some of my mates around the world such as my good friend, a professional nurse in the USA, some mates in Russia (in case if there have been any changes in such procedures during the last 10 years), mates in Germany and Canada. All of them based on their personal experience of visiting family doctors (some of them for similar symptoms like mine) confirmed that they WERE ASKED to make a BLOOD TEST FIRST. I thought then it's a Taiwanese medical procedure that vastly differs from the other countries above. But I was wrong again. Later on, I learned from one of my Taiwanese friends who had visited Ton Yen General Hospital that she was also asked to make a blood test at her very first visit. So anyway, it was just the beginning. At my first visit, I also asked the doctor if the discomfort in my upper stomach is somehow related to my intestine (IBS) problems and I got the answer "It may be related". At my second visit, the other doctor (regarding the same question) told me "No". I don't know if that's due to lack of expertise or that's due to the differences of their interpretation of my question but "It may be related" and "No" answers are kind of complete opposites. The later doctor, however, didn't send me for a blood test, either when I asked. At least, they agreed on that :) So anyway, my nightmare hasn't even started yet. At my second visit, the doctor told me that they found blood in my fences (she wasn't 100% sure, though and that fact freaked me even more) so they needed to do an endoscopy of my upper stomach as the prescribed pills didn't seem to work for me. That was the second time when I mentioned a blood test as I thought: "How come a patient is sent for a more complicated procedure before doing any blood test?" It just didn't fall in the realm of medical treatment procedures which I read about recently. Moreover, it wasn't just me; that logic didn't fall in the realm of knowledge and expertise of my good friend who's a professional nurse in the US. So anyways, I was sent for an upper stomach endoscopy to check if I have any inflammation (based on the doctor's words). I had lots of anxiety a night before as that was my first time to do an endoscopy. The nurses at the endoscopy did a great job to make me feel more calm and comfortable. So, in the end, the endoscopy doctor said there was no any abnormalities. I wasn't referred to anywhere further. It was pretty much mutual; after experiencing contradictory information, some endoscopy shock and long waiting visits, I did not want to go back there anymore. I made some habitual changes regarding my meal times, found appropriate probiotics and put more effort to manage my stress. All of the above were NEVER advised by any of the doctors I visited at this hospital, not even probiotics.

The doctors are fine. But the pharmacy is a joke! I have diabetes and the doctor only prescribed 4 millimeter needles which is apparently is the norm because everybody's the same right? I told the pharmacist no way my needles are 8 millimeters long and that's what I need. And she said they don't have them. You are a university hospital. A massive University hospital and you don't have different length needles? My medicine was in my hand within two minutes of walking away from the cashier but then the lady took my medicine and it's been 20 minutes I'm standing here waiting already.

I went to this hospital about a month ago to have the Foreign teachers medical exam. The process went very seamless, smoothly and fast. A little too fast that I wasn’t able to ask any questions which I think is very important in a medical setting. English is not highly spoken at this hospital so I’d recommend bringing a local with you. I was a bit disappointed with my blood test results because it didn’t analyze anything, it only stated pass or fail for certain diseases. I would’ve liked to have a full list of my blood test results, such as, iron, B12, vitamin D levels and etc.

The staff was very friendly and did their best to meet my needs and care for me during my visit. However the room was pretty outdated and the bed mattress was very uncomfortable. The worst part was the loud vent fan in the room. If the filter wasn't plugged it would flow better air and not be so loud.
