Patients who have fantasies
Another issue is the high class female patient who has fantasies that they need medical attention and that they are sick. My interaction ius always interesting as they seem to be a lot more up front and direct with the doctor. The examination of these patients is always interesting as well because you do not want to miss anything.
Especially with this sort of patient you should be dressed appropriately as they will also tell you if you are not dressed correctly. Often your hands are tied as regards what you can do but eventually you are able to examine and deal with the situation in a proper manner. Such examination needs to be detailed each time – with nothing missed.
These sorts of patients need to be seen often so that it keeps me up to the mark, then when you have a successful consult it is a good feeling
These patients have a lot of problems and need to be reviewed at least every 2-3 months. Then anxiety levels will not rise.
