What is the philosophy behind PHIMED?
As a pioneer in the non-public medical service industry, PHIMED is concerned with the beauty and health of women.
Our vision is to combine a warm service attitude with rich international medical experience, so as to create a better health management experience for women. High-end health management services should not only do the right thing – cure the disease – but also see and support the whole of the patient.
People invest in banks or houses or stocks, but they are starting to realize – especially females – that it is just as important to invest in themselves, focus on themselves, physically and mentally, and we are here to help them to do that – to help them understand what was really going on with them.
We believe people deserve this kind of treatment, and we wanted to do it small, private, dignified – and make people feel comfortable.
As dermatological specialists, what are the most common skin issues you see?
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, the front line in terms of exposure to the environment, and our first line of defense. And when it comes to skin problems, there are more than 3,000 kinds.
And there are different ways to treat all of them. For example, I could give you a three minute consultation and give you the prescription for a short term fix... and you will continue to be depressed, because with medicine it may calm down, but two days later, it comes back.
So, we're about a lot more than that at PHIMED. We spend a lot of time explaining the issue to patients so they understand the issue, how to treat it, and why they need to treat it that way.
So how much would you say you offer treatment, and how much is advising people on lifestyle so they can avoid treatment?
I would say half and half. You want patients to come and see you as frequently as they need to – but if you're seeing me twice a week, basically I'm a failure, right?
So, I tend to spend more time on giving patients an idea of why they're having a certain issue; beside the treatment and fixing it this time, is there anything we can do to make sure it doesn't happen again?
I spend much of my time explaining to the patient what is going on, helping them to understand the issue and the cause of the issue. And talking through how they are going to face, embrace and fix the issue, both physically and mentally.
You will also focus on mental health...
This is our next step, and a very important and very interesting part of the process.
We see people 40 to 50 years old go to do a routine health check, and the report will come back that they are healthy. Yet, they tell us they constantly feel tired, they don't feel energetic, they have issues sleeping, constantly have an ache, they are gaining weight.
However, unlike the West, there is still a stigma about visiting a psychiatrist or psychologist – 80-90% of people would be ashamed of telling people they talk to a therapist, feeling that it's not only embarrassing, but humiliating the family.
We want to break that stigma. Because everything is connected – the physical and the mental – and people need to spend more time on mental health, find out what the real issue is.
Once again, it is part of the well-rounded PHIMED service.
