医院挂号
在中国去医院看病都是需要挂号的，挂号有普通号和专家号两种。在国外，生病时，人们通常会去看当地的医生。美国很多医生都开私人诊所，也就是说他们有自己的办公室、职员和护士来开展医疗服务。很多人在很长的一段时间定期到一位医生那里去进行体检、接种疫苗，再看些病，这样他们就会与一位医生建立起很密切的病人和医生的关系了。

在急诊室
在美国，动用一次救护车就是数千元的费用，虽说保险公司会全包，但是如果大家都滥用这些服务，就会导致保险费用上涨，最后损失的还是个人。我国大部分城市和县都已开通了医疗专用120急救电话，120急救电话24小时有专人接听，接到电话可立即派出救护车和急救人员，是最方便快捷的方法。有些没有开通120的地区，医院也向社会公布了专用急救电话号码，病人可以选择要去的医院拨打。值得一提的是，北京市的急救电话除了120外，还有999，120是北京市急救中心的急救电话，而999是北京市红十字会紧急救援中心的急救电话。

传统中医
中医指中国传统医学，中医一般指中国以汉族劳动人民创造的传统医学为主的医学，所以也称汉医。中国其他传统医学，如藏医、蒙医、苗医等等则被称为民族医学。中医学以阴阳五行作为理论基础，将人体看成是气、形、神的统一体，通过望、闻、问、切，四诊合参的方法，探求病因、病性、病位、分析病机及人体内五脏六腑、经络关节、气血津液的变化、判断邪正消长，进而得出病名，归纳出证型，以辨证论治原则，制定“汗、吐、下、和、温、清、补、消”等治法，使用中药、针灸、推拿、按摩、拔罐、气功、食疗等多种治疗手段，使人体达到阴阳调和而康复。

打针吃药
打针通常打在静脉里面，注射方式为跟找到的血管呈45度角进入，并稍微将血管轻轻提起，稍微反抽（需要有回血）。通常剂量较低，但是作用时速快。在国外看病一般都需要预约。如果是得了急病，可以直接送诊所或医院，只是一般头疼发烧到医院看病，不经过事先预约，你甚至连医生的面都见不着。看医生的病人经过预约后，到规定的时间再来，因为医生没有理由置其他病人于不顾，先来给你诊断，除非你的病很严重，需要立即医治。

手术治疗
对于中西方来说，手术是外科的主要治疗方式。为了手术能顺利进行，防止术后并发症，达到预期疗效，必须做好术前准备工作。除思想准备之外，还应测定出、凝血时间，检查心、肺、肝、肾功能，测定血型和配血。让患者进行适应手术和术后变化的锻炼。术前1日理发、沐浴、换衣，剃除手术区毛发，检查体温、月经来潮等情况。术前12小时禁食，术前4小时禁水，以防麻醉后呕吐，引起误吸或窒息。有营养不良、高血压、糖尿病或心、肺、肝、肾功能不良者，应根据不同情况进行治疗，达到耐受手术标准后，方能进行手术。

日常护理
中西方文化差异在护理教育上主要表现为授受教育与自治教育的差别。在中国，授受教育以书本知识为主要内容，以课堂教学为主要阵地，以教师活动为中心，这种护理教育强调理论知识的系统性和继承性、护理操作技术的规范性和一致性，培养的护理人才有基础知识厚实、技术操作规范的特点，是一种“继承模仿型”人才。自治式教育是西方国家学校教育的主导思想，表现在护理教育中强调临床实践教学，以学生活动为中心，强调灵活多变的教学方法，培养的护理人才有自我学习能力强、创新意识强等特点，是一种“独立创造型”人才。
