MD questions listed HARRISBURG - State Health Secretary Dr, Leonard Bachman has released a new consumer booklet, “What To Ask Your Doctor," listing 15 questions for patients to ask their physicians. “Hopefully this booklet will do much to improve the patient - physician relationship here in Penn sylvania,” Bachman said. “One of the biggest problems facing health consumers today is the growing alienation of our medical delivery system from the people it is sup posed to serve. In blunt language, the medical profession has grown away from people.” “What To Ask Your Doctor” was written by Attorney Carole W. Soskis, a health rights advocate for the Department of Health’s Southeastern Region. Bachman said the questions, when “answered as truthfully and concisely as the physician is able, will, provide the patient with the information he or she needs to give an informed consent to treatment.” IBIGTRUCK : iijil |||||| r I HAULING pf==i 11111 l I WITH YOUR PICKUP I ANDTHE... ytIMHBBAGO Agri-Trailer/ -40 s * KAUFFMAN'S AGRI-TRAILER SALES BOX 655, RDI DES PLAINES, 0. - The resolutions committee of the American Farm Bureau Federation has called for Constitutional amendments to require that the federal budget be balanced and that federal taxes be limited to a "realistic percentage" of the gross national product.
