Description

Primary care practitioners save lives not only through health screenings but by conducting a careful history exam and really listening to a patient.

DEAR DR. ROACH: How do I get primary care doctors to understand that I do not do any health screenings and that their badgering only infuriates me more. My feeling is that if you’re not going to treat me, why test me? I only need the doctor for prescriptions and referrals to a specialist if I choose to see one. I am a nurse and do not need their lectures. As a patient, I have the right to autonomy and when I choose to use it. -- Anon.
