Hey,
I know doctors are obviously normal people who forget just like anyone else.. My question is how do you doctors remember say some small random muscle, or tissue you had to learn back in med school, or some reaction of the body, or something of that sort...
Basically, how do you remember to not do a certain thing when a patient presents with something something.. Do you go back to the doctor desk, and look up what symptoms meet various illnesses, or what?
Also, say your a family doctor, and someone presents with some unordinary symptoms your not use to dealing with.. While the patient is in the room waiting do you look up possible diagnosis for those symptoms? Where do you look it up at? On the computer? Where?
I hope this is in the right place.. I think a few years ago there was a place to ask current doc questions like this..
Thanks
