Welcome
Healthcare in the United States has changed. There have been scientific and medical advances and a great expansion of our knowledge base. There have been advances in diagnostic testing and treatment options. These are wonderful tools. However, the existence of these tools doesn't result in better care, or a better outcome, unless they are correctly used.
The best possible care is only achieved when doctors listen to their patients, ask the right questions, listen again for their responses, and know what to do with the information.
Unfortunately, the timely availability of the doctor and his/her attentiveness to patient needs have been compromised by some of the so-called advances in health care delivery. A dialogue between patient and physician does not easily occur if the patient cannot reach the doctor with questions and concerns. Nor can this dialogue occur if the physician is distracted with volume care.
