Risk Versus Danger

A good post on trade-offs in patient education and care.

The ever-increasingly empowering of patients has caused this type of question to become a regular occurance. On occasionI find myself longing for the "good old days" when patients accepted without question what the doctor recommended. Fighting with media sensationalism and internet mis-information takes a good chunk of my time. Questions were heightened with the recall of the popular drugs Vioxx and Bextra. The perception is widespread that prescription medications are dangerous while untested and unregulated "supplements" are accepted as safe.
