Annals Graphic Medicine - Dr. Mom: Haven't Seen the Doc Yet

Dr. Farris's comic shows how a patient viewed (or did not view) her.

Use to:

  • Consider whether patients have failed to recognize or acknowledge their physicians. Why does this happen? Does it happen more frequently to women physicians?
  • How should we respond when it occurs? Should we be offended?
  • Although this situation is comically portrayed here, might it pose a problem for patient care? What about for physician well-being? What can be done to remedy the situation?

Annals of Internal Medicine is the premier internal medicine academic journal published by the Â鶹ֱ²¥app (ACP). It is one of the most widely cited and influential specialty medical journals in the world.
