August 05, 2022The meeting was about a possible aneurism. The problem was that the doctor's opinion differed strongly from that of the nurse practitioner and the radiologist. But no attempt was made to explain the difference. The nurse said: I have looked at the mri and the fact that the two spots on left and right are in identical locations and very small means they must be fundibula, because an aneurism is never on the same spot left and right. The doctor came in after the nurse left and said: I just talked to the radiology doctor and you definitely have one aneurism perhaps two. The radiologists report appeared in mychart the next day, and says: there are two infundibula. There is no mention of an aneurism. This reflects an almost identical situation 6 months ago, when assistant thought no aneurism, the radiologist thought it was faintly possible that it could be an aneurism, and the doctor then said: you definitely have an aneurism. How can I have confidence in the doctor if he makes no attempt to explain or even admit to the difference of his opinion from the other doctors?
August 05, 2022I trust him. He's compassionate and highly skilled, as well as a great communicator.
