What's the prognosis?
My attending told the patient they had to live with it, but the patient wants a cure. Didn't seem happy the attending said that. How do you word it to patients that have been dealing with it for some time?
Ok! I’m interested in PMR. Do you have guidance on a good resource for a student to read to get started?
That is hilarious!
I'm an IM PGY2... and not sure when I should consult PM&R. Sometimes we get pain on board but they are always Gas/Pain... For patients with physical deconditioning (which we deal with everyday), we always get PT/OT on board. When is it appropriate to get physiatry on board?
80% better in 3 months 90% at 1 year no matter what you do. From a stats perspective although you suffering may vary.
I counsel patients that nothing I do improves your underlying pathology. My goal is to help you function and not be miserable while your body(hopefully) repairs itself.
