Issues for Doctors: A Solution

     
  • One problem

  • Ten minutes


  • Doctors serious about keeping consultations to under ten minutes –
    aim for 5 to 7 minute consultations.
  • Don't feel guilty about short consultations: these are expected of you.



  • YOU MUST CONTROL AGENDAS
    Do important things first:
    If you are looking after yourself, you are looking after the patient.
    What could kill or really hurt this patient :
    look at these first and only -- no matter what you think the diagnosis may be.
    It's easy to get it wrong.

  • Doctor - Can you count to one?:
    It's not the patients fault, if they can’t count to one:
    You(the Doctor) have a lot more education:
    • Tell them the rules and
    • don’t feel sorry about it.
    •  

All you can do – is all you can do – and that’s all you can do.
