How embarrassing ? to the patients- is to take an infertility history?
I get difficulties communicating with my patients especially when I ask sensitive questions such as postcoital pain or bleeding and frequency of intercourse etc? Or when I discuss personal issues with my patients regarding marital relationship or sextual habits. It becomes too difficult when the patient is young shy female or when I take a history from both the husband and the wife togather.
Okay, somebody suggested a history form to be given to the patient to choose either yes or no regarding every point in the history, but I think such closed ended questions method will kills skills a training student should aquired and will decrease the performance of future physicians!!!!!!!!?
Problem is when some patients stop giving history or start giving you a misleading history.. suppose in your final exam!!!
thank you...
