Use with care
These are public signals, not GoChinaMed client success claims. Use them as pathway examples, not medical promises.
Serious specialist question
Cancer, heart, complex diagnosis
Start with records, current diagnosis, imaging, pathology, medication, and the decision you need a doctor to review.
Planned outpatient care
Dental, checkup, elective care
Start with treatment scope, timing, budget, city, language needs, and how follow-up will be handled after the visit.
Recovery route
Rehab, TCM, acupuncture
Start with functional goals, current limitation, prior treatment, safety notes, length of stay, and realistic recovery support.
Not sure yet
Use the general care route
Start broad when the care type is unclear, then narrow by specialty, city, documents, and support scope.
How to use cases
Treat cases as route signals, not promises.
A similar case can suggest what to prepare first, but your actual route depends on records, timing, city, provider rules, and clinical review.
Start with case intake
02Turn it into your case brief
Use case intake to organize your own records, city, timing, budget, and support needs.
Review only if useful
03Move to paid review only if useful
Use paid review only after intake has enough detail to clarify the route and next questions.
Care type routes
Start from the type of care you may need.
Care type is often the first useful filter. Pick the closest route, then move into intake if your case needs structure.

Read examples by route question.
The useful part is not the story itself. It is the first route question, what records to prepare, and whether the case should stay light or move into structured review.
