General Medicine is the foundation of all other super-specialty departments. It deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and non-surgical treatments of various diseases. A general physician conducts a physical examination of the patient and then recommends necessary tests and diagnostic procedures. These tests, the general physical examination, and symptoms are then correlated to arrive at a final diagnosis. Depending on the final diagnosis, the general physician gives the patient the necessary treatment (usually medication) or refers them to a specialty department for further treatment.
