Tip:
You and your office staff should spend lots of time in patient and family or
caregiver education. It really pays dividends. Stress daily weights. Spell
out symptoms that should prompt a call to you. Write out the medication list.
Have the patient or the caregiver that does the cooking see a dietician. Detail
everything! Health professionals often do a great job in diagnosis and
prescribing medication but fail miserably in educating the patient and caregiver.
