lturner+Followhow i navigate patient beliefs as a docMed school lesson: Don't dismiss patients' alternative health beliefs! If it's harmless (like a rock under the bed) and brings comfort, why not? Placebos can be powerful. For potentially harmful therapies though, I engage in respectful conversations, explain concerns, and offer evidence-based alternatives. At the end of the day, it's about building trust while keeping patients safe. Document everything! #MedicalEthics #PatientCare #DoctorPatientRelationship115Share

More video calls and AI tools mean docs are spending less time with patients and more time on admin, like closing e-queries and renewing prescriptions. Some worry this shift could turn family physicians into case managers instead of trusted caregivers. Are we trading real connection for convenience? The debate is heating up as tech takes over more of our healthcare! #Telemedicine #Healthcare #FamilyMedicine #DigitalHealth #DoctorPatientRelationship #Health10Share
