Patient care

Post by Wino you know »

Isn't it sad that litigation risks force so many doctors to practice
defensively; the many testing-safeguards requiring an assembly-line approach for patient care? For example, here's what happened to Buford:

Buford walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what
he had. Buford said, "Shingles". So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.

Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aid came out and asked Buford what he
had. Buford said, "Shingles". So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Buford to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Buford what he had. Buford
said, "Shingles".

So the nurse gave Buford a blood test, a blood pressure test, an
electrocardiogram, and told Buford to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and asked Buford what he had. Buford
said, "Shingles".

The doctor asked, "Where"?

Buford said, "Outside on the truck. Where do you want them"??
