Optometric Management new O.D.   /     Issue 11 - The Fear of the Unknown

Description

It can be very awkward to have to communicate to a patient that you aren't sure about something. Many patients view doctors as superhuman, incapable of making mistakes. As much as I wish that were true, practitioners know that this is a big patient misconception. We, in fact, are human and can’t possibly know every pertinent detail on every ocular condition that presents itself in our practices. What do we do in these instances when we simply don’t have a direct answer for our patient because we don’t know?
