Yes well we teach the next gen those days are gone. I tell patients all the time “I work for you”. It is my job “ my privilege” to meet them where they are. That includes coming up with a treatment plan based on all factors...allergies, cultural and religious beliefs, economic means, education level, sexual orientation whatever the case may be. I tell my students the fact that we were afforded the opportunity to be able to be educated on things doesn’t make us better or worse it just gives us knowledge and we have to find a way to incorporate that knowledge into the individual in front of us.
I still get patients that basically say ...here I am treat me!! And I try to bring them around to the idea that “here WE are let’s find out how to get to where you want to be...physically mentally and spiritually. “Treating one without the others will surely fail in the end”.
sorry... lets get back to guinea hens
