Here are top ten consumer needs of doctors/ hospitals/etc. <BR/><BR/>Please don't make or allow a mistake/screw-up that kills me or makes me worse. (i.e., give me infection, error, missed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, wrong treatment, follow-up slipped through cracks, surgical error)<BR/><BR/>Please don't leave a condition unattended or underattended because of some profit-making motive i.e., cost to payer or to hospital.<BR/><BR/>Please don't “leave me in the dark” about my specifics. (MY condition, my specific diagnosis, my specific treatment/med, my next steps, my specific hospital/surgery center, my follow up, etc.) I may want to learn more on my own. <BR/><BR/>Please don't give me a diagnosis &/or treatment, etc. when there was something better, more effective out there. <BR/><BR/>Please see me/give me an appointment at day/time I need. And, Please don't make me wait too long in your office/waiting room/test results.<BR/><BR/>Please don't make me pay more than I should. Bills are confusing, hassle, take long time to resolve.<BR/><BR/>Please help me to take steps to prevent/ reverse a preventable condition that I may be prone to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
