What role should a 21st century physician play?
Editor's Note: Steve Simmons, ACP Member, posted this blog entry originally at Better Health.
Some patients in the 21st century approach "modern" healthcare with the same expectations I bring into a deli for lunch: "I'd like the sinus infection with antibiotics and a note for work, please." I confess, when seeing such a patient I have occasionally acted on the impulse to ask if they would like fries with their order. Yet, these patients do have something to teach us about how to be a 21st century physician.
Eighteen years ago, while a fourth-year medical student, I registered for an elective class on the future of computer science in medicine. This was my first time to see the Internet and I was awed by the vision my instructors had for the future. They had no idea.
