Resolved Question

Alt med and diagnostics?

So do alt med practitioners ingest characteristic tests? Are they modify experienced of how to verify story and do precise fleshly exam? For example, a 56/F enduring comes in for complaints of swelling in the legs, tires easily, and opinion as if she's drowning when she's misrepresentaation down. How would an alt med practician go most effort to the lowermost of this patient's condition? This is the quantity of the alt med adherents to establish that they impact the full mortal and not the symptoms as we grievous MDs do.

With that presentation, I would venture CHF. I would rank a rank story and then do a physical, with portion tending to vitals, auscultating lungs and auscultating heart. I'd also manoeuvre and achievement the perimeter of apiece ankle and of the handicap ~5" above the ankle.

I would meet CBC and metabolous panel... and perhaps Nt-proBNP.

Depending on rigor of sx and findings on PE, I haw intend to MD directly for EKG. I haw move to analyse the murder effort results first... but either way, I'm referring for cardiovascular concerns, which are prizewinning co-managed (MD/ND.)

On commendation of the dx with neutral testing, I then go most assessing the CAUSE of the problem... HTN? Hx of rheumatic fever/mitral regulator prolapse? Is this originating with lung pathology much as COPD/emphysema? Hx of MI? Scarring on the pericardium? Kidney disease? etc.

Furthermore, what module be the "trickle down" effect, physiologically speaking? What crapper I do preventatively?

How is this identification impacting the enduring emotionally/socially/psychologically? How do I control THOSE symptoms? And how are those areas impacting the pathophysiology?

I digress.

Fact is, NDs ingest the aforementioned medicine MDs use. We're full drilled in clinical skills and action a more rank fleshly than most MDs (because we hit the "luxury" of a aggregation more time.)

It's the communication that would differ.

FYI Gary, when a enduring presents with a identification I ease hit to support it (as would whatever another physician.) It's slaphappy to rely 100% on someone else's conclusions. Report Abuse
