I don't think it has much diagnostic value, but I thought it was worth saving nonetheless

To streamline patient visits, it appears that an increasing number of neurologists will be moving toward this standardized form:

I may need to copy and anon. fax that from a quickprint center, to my neuro! That's cute~

That is cute

Hey, Steve. That's a great idea!!

I've always said that you have to go to the doctor with bulleted, short lists. They are trying to fit so many patients in -- especially if you go to a hospital environment, that you tend to forget why you're there unless you write it down and focus both your and your doctor's attention on the list.

It makes for real productive office visits. I used to have the Director of the Women's Health Centre as my doctor and we both wrote things down. She was busy beyond all comprehension. Now that she's gone on to bigger and better things in her career, I've found that the one new doctor that I've seen (and will continue to see) is the one that had the same style of writing everything down.

Hugs. Thanks for sharing.

That's plagerism from the offices of two of the neurologists I saw. It makes my feet hurt even more.

There's more than an element of truth here. We all have to demand a functional medical system instead of billions spent on pork such as bridges-to-nowhere in Alaska . Email your congress people, senators, and president.

That's what we filled out at our last appointment!

LOL

I saw my neuro two weeks ago for my 6 mo. check up. It last all of 10 minutes. I asked for a copy of the clinical notes which came today. It was 3 pages long. I laughed all the way through it and decided I wasn't really there. And the person who played the part of my neuro in this comedy was very funny and apparently NICE! All I can say is that obviously my neuro knew I had asked for a copy this time. My, my she is human after all!

THAT was exactly the kind of thing I'd felt about the forms & treatment from the 1st neuro I'd had...then 'fired'.
I got lucky later on and parts 2-4 no longer apply...Hey! 75% positive is better than 90% of all patients!
Till later - j

When I saw this thread, I thought it was for real.

I'm reading the form slowly and going. Yeah, yeah, they want your diner's club card and your credit card.
but when I got down to the list of diseases, and I got to where you wrote:
Periphaeral Neuropathy. sorry I can't help you with this.

THEN I KNEW IT WAS A JOKE!!!

I actually read the previous diseases and said to myself "oh this doctor is completely honest and tells people when he can't help them!!!


Oh God, please shoot me in the foot, I am soooooo dumb today!!!!

God already shot me in both feet.
