Mehiläinen Töölö · Helsinki
A new symptom with other illnesses
I assess one new problem while taking your medication and existing illnesses into account. You do not need to know what is causing the symptom.
Care route
Where should I seek care?
We focus on the new symptom and take existing illnesses and medication into account.
Book an appointment
- A new symptom or acute illness that needs examination.
- Bring your current medication list and describe what has changed.
Seek urgent assessment
- New confusion, deterioration with fever or sudden difficulty coping at home.
- A fall followed by a significant decline in mobility, function or pain control.
Call 116117 if you are unsure where to go or cannot get timely care. Do not wait for an appointment if your condition worsens.
Call 112
For severe breathing difficulty, unconsciousness, new stroke symptoms or another life-threatening situation.
Prepare
What to bring
- Your current medication list and any recent changes.
- When the symptom started and how it affects daily activities.
- Recent test results relevant to this symptom, if they are not visible in Mehiläinen.
During the visit
One problem, with the relevant background
My experience of caring for older people and people with several illnesses helps me recognise medication risks and changes in function. We use that background to plan the examination and treatment of the current problem.
Choosing a service
If you need a wider planned review
A comprehensive medication review or assessment of several long-term problems needs a separately planned service. Ask Mehiläinen to help arrange a suitable clinician and appointment. The 40-minute procedure appointment is intended for a possible minor procedure.
