[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doc here- first of all, yes, if you don’t click with her and don’t trust that she does her job well then absolutely shop around. It’s your health and your life!

Second of all, when I document, there is an option for a template for almost every kind of encounter. If a kid has strep throat I click the template , add some details, delete some others, and lock the encounter. Otherwise I’d be documenting for 6 hours every evening after I left work. So yeah I’m sure a lot of those charts say I educated the family on a million types of infection control when I didn’t (although technically, legally, I did, by handing them the discharge paper that includes a million infection control suggestions). Does that make me a bad doctor? That’s up to you. I’m just trying to see patients and practice solid medicine, I’m not trying to write a novel for every standard patient encounter just so insurance companies will grudgingly agree to pay for your visit. But some people wouldn’t like that the chart is clearly sort of standardized, and that’s fine, my feelings aren’t hurt.  [/quote]

Yes, I was going to say this. Based on my experiences, I think that certain symptoms/conditions are attached to others, so if a doctor selects an STD, for example, it will auto select "sexually active". Or if you are taking spironolactone for hair loss, it may autoselect that you have high blood pressure because that is spironolactone's actual purpose. [/quote]
