What does an internist do in Poland?
An internist is a doctor of internal medicine and usually the first specialist an adult patient sees for new symptoms, a chronic condition, or help interpreting test results.
The doctor assesses your health as a whole, plans the necessary diagnostics, starts treatment and refers you to the appropriate specialist when needed.
