Physicians Advocating for Patients
Mon, 01/09/2012 - 9:43am
Here's a link I received from a medical doctor in the US who is concerned about patients getting the treatments they need. In the piece, which is at KevinMD, it cites a previous Red Herring series at their cite; I recommend taking a look at that as well. At this link, a woman psychiatrist uses a case she was involved with related to a patient with a physiological issue related to swallowing who was hospitalized for the procedure, and what can happen in the hospital. The doctor who contacted me with this link, and this piece, agree with me/Lumigrate: "for those patients who cannot advocate for themselves, we must advocate for them."
Here's the link, I hope you find it interesting and educational: ~~ Mardy
