What a good consultation looks like from the other side posts 61–63

Clinical › Prescriber conversations prior authorisation telehealth type 2 diabetes beginner friendly

This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

Collapsed as off-topic by two members at trust level 3 or above

Post #59 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

One more thing on good consultation that took me far too long to see: the two figures people quote are not measuring the same quantity. Once you notice that, the apparent contradiction disappears.

Coming back to post #60, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Written summaries after an appointment are available in many systems and are worth asking for, because recollection of a consultation is unreliable.

c.dahlberg, post #17: Quietly grateful for the plain phrasing. Not every thread gets that. Go to post

Summarising the good consultation thread so far, since it is long and the answer is buried: the first reply has the method, the fourth has the correction to it, and the rest is people agreeing at length.
