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.”
