Doctors practise.... |

I think the main factor involved is the patient not knowing that there's something much better available. My dad was prescribed a PPI when the Gaviscon hadn't worked after 2-3 days; though I would hope that under those circumstances the GP would have changed it even had Dad not been armed with the new info.

I think the main factor involved is the patient not knowing that there's something much better available. Often true, and sometimes the doctor also. Mine at least freely admits that I know much more about each of my medical conditions than he does. That's a good basis on which to go to him armed with suitable clinical studies and NICE guidelines. My dad was prescribed a PPI when the Gaviscon hadn't worked after 2-3 days; though I would hope that under those circumstances the GP would have changed it even had Dad not been armed with the new info. I wish I shared your confidence. One problem to face is that a lot of people even now, don't believe that it is their place to question or challenge the doctor. For many, it costs them their lives, quite literally. |
