We need to find drs we have confidence in and research them carefully. As a nurse I can tell you a bs diagnosis is entered into your record and can follow you for life. With computers and records now available it is easier to access past information.
I was watching Dr. Phil the other day and he had a woman on there that was diagnosed with 72 problems for which she was taking multiple medications. So this also brings up polypharmecia (multiple medications) especially in the elderly and pts who go to multiple drs and receive multiple Rx. If these meds are not identified to all caring for this pt the chance of the pt receiving a medication that interacts is increased or not appropriate for this pt.
Oh well, I suppose this post belongs in the rant thread
