Does this actually work on any of you guys?
I have a weird hobby where I torment myself by reading anti-doctor posts on Reddit. The whole song and dance about patients demanding that their doctor write in their chart that they’re denying them something comes up in almost every thread.
It happens once or twice in actual practice for me. I tell these patients that I would have documented that anyway, which is true. I have a habit of writing down the more hare-brained demands so that I can remind my future self that I’ve already denied them.
But the way this thing comes up in those anti-doctor discussion implies that 1) it’s something they think doctors are forced to do (I’m not, I document according to what I deem relevant) and 2) that it scares doctors to do it (I actually just find it vaguely entertaining)
Out of curiosity: does anyone here work in a system where patients can demand this or where this could actually cause you problems of any kind? Please tell me. I want more reasons to stay where I am.
