House Visit By The CardiologistAbstract
A modality of practice that I was exposed to after returning to Pakistan was the house calls i was expected to make I did comply with my patient‘s calls to made such “urgently needed” house visits for a while. Visits had achieved. It became immediately clear that most of the patients were neither serious nor bed ridden and they were all well to do.
While it may be all right for a family physician to make house calls, there seems in my mind no justification for a specialist to make house calls. If a patient is sick enough to require a house visit, he is sick enough to be hospitalized or treated in a proper emergency room. It is time that this abuse of specialist’s time and waste of patient’s money is stopped.Downloads
