THE IMPORTANCE OF PATIENT HISTORY, EXAMS, AND DIAGNOSTICS

If you don't know what's going on, how can you treat? Dr. Prather tells some amazing patient stories that show the crucial role of patient history, a thorough exam, and in-depth diagnostics. In this episode, you'll learn:--Why Dr. Prather believes taking shortcuts on proper procedures could be disastrous for the patient and why he refuses to compromise.--The importance of patients being willing to take the time to make sure they are getting the care that they need.--Why the doctors that rush you in and out of the office are more likely to be concerned with making money instead of patient care.--That 90% of the diagnosis comes from the patient's history. (And how that history also designs out the basis of the patient's care.)--Why Dr. Prather takes his patient histories in a living room environment instead of a sterile exam room setting. (And how Dr. Prather compares his job to being a detective.)--The role family medical history plays in proper patient care.--What Dr. Prather teaches to Medical Doctors and Nurse Practitioners about patient examinations.--Why proper imaging should not be neglected in order for the patient to receive the right treatment--particularly with Chiropractic care.--The reason why Dr. Prather's X-rays have been said to be in the Top 1%.--Plus, hear Ben's inspiring story about losing 60 pounds (so far!) in just two-and-a-half months (after weighing over 400 pounds) on the Prather Practice Healthy Habits program.www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
