Dr. Wible’s article makes several good points about how patient behavior either helps or hinders a physician’s efficiency and ability to meet their needs. I might have titled it, “How to help your doctor help you.” But I heartily agree with her advice, so I want to share it with you here.
In summary, her 7 steps are
1. Get organized.
2. Prioritize.
3. Start early.
4. Be human.
5. Be direct.
6. Plan ahead.
7. Say thank you.
Details are in the article, a quick read. Thank you Dr. Wible.
