FORUM « "Lobbyists targeting state attorneys general" | Around the web, September 12 » September 11, 2007Defensive medicine: they have to be carefully taught These days it starts at the med-student stage (via KevinMD): This "art of defensive medicine" infiltrates the classroom too. We are taught how to ask questions of our patients and treat them in such a way that minimizes our risk of a lawsuit. We are trained what kind of patients to be wary of. Basically, we are taught that we can't trust our future patients, which is confusing to first-year medical students. How can we expect our patients to trust us if we can't trust them?Posted by Walter Olson at 12:21 AM | TrackBack (0) |
