Why do doctors perform many tests rather than one on a patient?
Well, they check breathing, circulation, blood pressure etc. right? This is so that if you have any issues that you may not consider or think about they can detect them before it becomes an issue. Say that you breath fine, don't smoke do drugs any of that but sometime you start coughing or when you exercise you may wheeze and have troubles breathing. A doctor can check if you have issues breathing by getting you to take tests and some doctors will get you to do minimal exercises and test breathing rates before and after, if the difference is alarming, it is likely that the patient has asthma. Then the doctor can prescribe an inhaler, and this will help the patient. If they had not been checked out with tests, and the doctor just said you look fine, go home, that would just be useless. They do all the checks and insure that a patient is in good health all over rather than just "looking" fine on the outside, there may be a major problem on the inside.
What does the DO after a doctors name mean?
It means that he or she is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. The "DO" degree is conferred upon successful completion of a medical education at any of the Osteopathic Medical Schools in the United States. The "MD" degree is conferred upon successful completion of a medical education at any of the Allopathic Medical Schools. If you are a patient you need not worry about which initials follow a doctor's last name. MDs and DOs work side by side in every state and corner of the country. There is no substantive difference between the two.
Great question.
I ask myself this question all the time.
I am a chronic pain patient and it is true that those who abuse meds have made it much, much harder for those of us with real pain that require real treatment.
Unfortunately, law enforcement doesn't distinguish between good and bad patients and doctors. They are after one thing - reducing the amount of drugs that make it to the street. If they can do that by outlawing the kind of meds that help genuine pain patients, it's just too bad for us I guess.
Since they have failed to take down the law breaking distributors and the dealers they have to go after whatever source of drugs are left. Too bad for us that this happens to be limiting doctor's in what they can prescribe, limiting pharmacies in what they can sell and limiting patients in what they can take. I've seen the statistics and those in law enforcement actually believe that the great majority of chronic pain patients abuse their medications. Many do not believe that patients can actually take their meds as prescribed and not abuse them or sell them. It's really sad. Right when society and the medical community reached the place where treating chronic pain with strong medications was acceptable there is a boatload of press about folks dying from overdose and abuse and law enforcement decides it's OK to go after all patients and docs. Even the public accepts this because of all this "terrible abuse."
And we suffer, literally. Is there a good, rational reason why we must be affected negatively? No.
He's evil, but completely non-threatening, because he's what you call a 'Comedy relief villain'
A:
I admit, that would make me mad. On the other hand, if he's doing that, he's looking to catch you in something that he can punish or fire you for. So maybe instead of getting mad, you need to correct whatever he thinks needs correcting.
If you don't know, go ask him. Hopefully he's still willing to work with you.
A:
Revealing medical information without proper informed consent is a HIPAA violation and it is against the law. If the doctor answered the question, he or she should be brought up on charges. If someone asked the doctor, he or she should be told that that is an illegal thing to ask.
