As healthcare professionals, it's important to remember that almost all patients come to us with their own self-diagnosis. While some may be accurate, others may not be. It's our responsibility to carefully listen to our patients and try to uncover their true concerns, as they may be afraid of a diagnosis that doesn't actually exist. It's all about working together as a team to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible.
Mary O’Connor is an orthopedic surgeon.
