VERTIGO AS AN ENT DISEASE: GENERAL PHYSICIAN AND THE COMMON MAN’S PERCEPTION
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 35
Abstract
To study consciousness amongst General Physicians and common people, on their perception of Vertigo related to ENT disease. METHODS: Study was conducted in two different places of Eastern India from 2006 to 2015. The patients with complaints of vertigo attending Otorhinolaryngologists at the first instance or by GP referral were studied. General Physicians also underwent a survey through a questionnaire. RESULTS: From the last 9 years of data, we find a definite increment in the number of vertigo patients at our OPD along with an increase in consciousness amongst the general physicians, though majority of doctors still don't think Vertigo to be predominantly an ENT disease.
