He is very bright and also very compassionate. Remember too, that providers have peace in trusting patients as well. It is always comforting to know/trust that certain patients will provide accurate histories and follow through with treatment or whatever may be the agreement. Notice I do not use the word compliance. I dislike that term tremendously. It projects a sense of "parental control" over a patient. I have peace when a patient and I work together as a team. When they respect my medical opinion, and I their desires for their own health....things go far better in the office. As you mention in your new book, kicking butt, fighting, resisting are all terms and approaches that truly have no place in the "TEAM" concept of healthcare. And I obviously believe in the "team concept" as a PA-C. Have a good day...tell BR I said good morning.<BR/><BR/>BriceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
