So, Doc . . . whats my cholesterol? Frustrations of discussing the physical exam
Product Description
What I find particularly disconcerting about the physical exam is that no matter what I do or say, patients only want to know their cholesterol count. Take, for example, Fred, a 52-year-old, 350-lb patient who was returning for the results of his exam. I have to say that for the last 10 years, ever since I developed a computer-based wellness approach, giving patients their physical examination results has been especially pleasurable for me. In graphic form, patients see a compilation of data for each year they’ve participated in my HealthTrends program, including all the contributing factors to any disease for which they have a greater-than-average 10-year mortality risk. For example, high-risk diabetic patients see their blood glucose level, weight, and caloric intake flash before their eyes in a montage of graphs. For a computer nut like myself, this program is the sliced bread. Unfortunately, Fred is one of my patients who doesn’t share my enthusiasm.
