“Being a doctor, I worry that the patient may be uncomfortable about sharing something. It could be sexual dysfunction, an eating disorder, depression, domestic violence - these are serious topics many people don't want to talk about. I'll try to follow up with questions like: How are things at home? How's work? But we don't always have time to probe. Don't be afraid to bring up the important things going on in your life, even if they don't feel 'medical.' Your doctor would rather know than not know.” PeopleTryingImportantHomeWorryViolenceSeriousEatingPatientUncomfortableDomestic ViolenceEating Disorder Author:Danielle Ofri
