Hey, there was a post on here a few months back where people talked about different techniques they used to elicit the informaiton or findings they wanted from their patients. I have been searching for that discussion and can't find it. Anyone know what it was called? And if everyone doesn't mind I would love to hear more of those techniques. Little ways you ask questions, or look for finding that are often times missed would be awesome.
Thanks😀

The one thing that I have read on here somewhere that I am now using in my practice is....Right before I leave the room, I ask the patient "Is there anything that you think I should know that I haven't asked you?" Most of the time that leads to a few more interesting things.....
