[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I'll have patients who mention a disease I have never heard of. Usually I ask them to explain it to me. It helps if nurses mention the disease on the triage form so I can quickly look it up prior to entering the patient room. It's really impossible to keep up with every single disease or the latest research (unless it's in my field). Occasionally, I just plain old don't care about a particular complaint. Some patients think that every symptom they have is life threatening and want an answer for everything. Unfortunate, I have to much too do and many sick patients to see. I don't care about minor things and most people can see a PCP for it. [/quote]
