Hi there,
I have tried to get on this course for months, but they only seemed interested in getting me to take part in the current evaluation study, I said no thankyou just the course "please" and they have reneged on promises to call me .
I like the idea but my experience with docs is that the vast majority feel very threatened by informed patients. Maybe there should be a " modesty for docs " course.
I now see a doc who calls our meetings " client directed consultations" but it is only because he has a very mature personality that he can tolerate this.
Do not expect too much from these courses, the psychology must work both ways and the medical profession will have to move somewhat in my view to accomodate "expert patients"Glenn
