Patients' Approach to Specialists

A friend recently emailed to me this New York Times article. The final section on How Patients Can Help is right up my alley and I wanted to blog here about it!

The article refers to a few key concepts, some of which I've blogged about before: having lists of questions when seeing specialists, turning up to appointments with at least two people and being (very) familiar with one's condition. The article does warn about "oversearch", but I think that's less of a problem if one keeps in mind that one's own case may always differ from others.

I hope my readers enjoy the article.

Cheers,
Mike
