Think about this. It is important. And a bit boring.
I've been at both ends of the stethoscope. Over-reliance on record leads to unhelpful assumptions. Not reading them leads to missing important stuff. Expecting patient to remember date & name of operation + pathology findings is unrealistic. I'm sure you do read notes. Surprised how many don't.
I'm looking for good recent article, by a human, in reputable journal about how docs (hospital or GP) approach patients in last year of life dying from causes other than cancer or dementia. Ideas? Names to look out for?
I know how to use medline, but most of what I find is on cancer.
There is an argument that it always has been. Deterence only works as a strategy if the very few people with real power are bothered if civilisations are destroyed
