Physicians dont always provide enough information on new prescriptions

A study published in the September 25, 2006 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine has found that when physicians prescribe new medications to their patients, they don't always provide enough information about the drugs.

The investigators rated physicians on how well they communicated the following five informational elements (% in parentheses are the observed frequencies of communication):

Name of the drug (74%)

Reason for taking it (87%)

Duration of use (34%)

Adverse effects (35%)

Number of tablets/sprays (55%) and frequency or timing of administration (58%)

On average, physicians communicated 3.1 of 5 elements that were deemed to be critical to patient understanding.

While the study has certain limitations, there is important information here for you to use. You can copy down these five elements and bring them with you when visiting your physician. Make sure that all five elements have been covered and that you fully understand each one.

In our western culture, we have used to emphasize greatly on dinner as the most important meal of the day and this particular meal is the heaviest of all meals. This practice has been on going for so long but unfortunately it is not the right way of having meals. In fact, breakfast should be the most important meal of the day while dinner should not be heavy. The reason for this is that breakfast is the starting meal of the day and it provides us with all the necessary energy to keep us going throughout the day while dinner being the last meal of the day, should not be too heavy or loaded since we do not need that much energy while sleeping at night.

Going to the bathroom can be an excellent time to learn to feel some of deeper anatomy. Doing a number two, these muscles are all used while we are pushing.
