“Have we done everything we can for this patient?”
Dr. Edgar Miller (Nepal, 1959)
ABOUT ME
I am a practicing physician with an interest in nutritional, biochemical and environmental aspects of chronic illness in adults and children.
Early in my 50 years of caring for people seeking answer for chronic illnesses I found a way of listening that begins with a symptom checklist as part of a long questionnaire with a chronological record of illnesses and life events. Before meeting my patients, I have studied and sorted the checklist by frequency and severity. Our first conversation starts with a mutual grasp of the story with and then consider the options. This approach differs from the way I was trained in two ways. First, it respects the patient as a source of details and second, it considers details that are irrelevant to making a diagnosis but which may be game-changers in making a plan.
