There are more than 6,000 hospitals across the country. Most of them are “regular hospitals” set up to diagnose and treat most of the major medical conditions. Nearly 20% of the country’s hospitals are “specialized” hospitals that specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of special disorders. It is possible that a regular general hospital may not offer the latest and most advanced treatments or have the staff of highly trained specialists. If you have an unusual disorder, it is better to look for a hospital dedicated to treating people with similar conditions.

Emergency room
If you had an accident and suffered moderate to severe injuries, you probably went to the emergency room. If you were brought by ambulance, the hospital you went to was probably based on your condition and proximity to the nearest emergency room that can handle your type of injury. Not all emergency rooms are the same. It depends on the type of hospital and the level of certification of the emergency. In any case, a doctor in an emergency room would have seen it.
Emergency Doctors
These doctors are highly qualified trauma specialists who handle patients who need immediate medical attention. These doctors are usually in emergency rooms in busy hospitals and can quickly assess patients who are in immediate need. Its function is to stabilize the patient so that the right specialist can be hired to administer the patient’s treatment. Once stabilized, they are likely to be referred to a follow-up and treatment specialist. The specialists described below are often used in accidents with moderate to severe back and neck injuries.
Orthopedic Surgeons
These highly trained doctors diagnose, treat, and perform operations in people with bone and joint disorders, which include spinal cord nerve conditions and hip injuries. Not only do they have extensive experience in the treatment of spinal and neck injuries, but they are often asked to perform spinal cord surgery, such as removing a disc. Orthopedic surgeons have one of the longest training periods. Usually, the orthopedic doctor attends four years of medical school and then another four to six years of residency training. After residency, the surgeon will seek to obtain board certification in their specialty. Board certification demonstrates the highest level of training in the field.
Neurologists
These doctors are experts in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, including the brain. These doctors do not perform surgery. However, neurologists are often used to help determine if a patient is a surgical candidate. They are known to use a wide range of diagnostic tests, such as nerve conduction tests, and are often asked to perform cognitive assessments.
