Think back to the last time you were at your doctor’s office. Did you feel rushed during your visit? How many complaints were you allowed to talk about? How many minutes did the doctor spend with you? Was your doctor even listening? Did he end up prescribing a pill or referring you to somebody else? Did you feel empowered or motivated after the visit?
Unfortunately this is what the delivery of primary healthcare has come to. Our healthcare system is becoming stressed, our doctors are overburdened and the quality of our healthcare is suffering because of it.
