Medicine? |
-
Internal
medicine is
the branch of
medicine dealing
with the
diagnosis and
non-surgical
treatment of
diseases,
especially of
internal organ
systems.
-
Doctors of
internal
medicine focus
on adult
medicine and
have had special
study and
training
focusing on the
prevention and
treatment of
adult diseases.
-
Internists are
sometimes
referred to as
the "doctor's
doctor," because
they are often
called upon to
act as
consultants to
other physicians
to help solve
puzzling
diagnostic
problems.

Dr. Balta are
