With some of the patients, this is very true. I am referring to the last
part of your mail. I have known so many patients, who seldom give their
complete picture. They have a fixed mind and prefer to get treated of their
one complaint first. On inquiring, they say that there is nothing wrong
with them in any other locality. If they feel better with the prescription,
they come for the second time and give a lot of symptoms saying doctor,
your prescription was good and now I want you to treat me for this and this
and this. It is only after the physician has proved his worth
:)!!! I hope the physician is not at fault
!!! Take care.Sincerely,
Zaidee

Hi Soroush,
I do think that this ("they know their MM and philosophy better) is it. And
I would say it's easier to know the philosophy than to know the MM, so I
think that is the greatest difference between the "good" and the "great" --
they know their tools!!!
But as far as not prescriting until you are sure about your remedy choice,
that I could quibble with. In some cases that's what's necessary -- let the
picture fully develop; don't rush to prescribe until you have as full a case
as you either need, or can get.
On the other hand, there are cases where you do your best to get "the whole
case", and you do not know what do to with it. In that case, sometimes you
need to have "a learning experience". I think this can be a delicate
question.
Best,
Shannon
