You stress the value of non-verbal communication for the practitioner, but would you look at the "face-to-face" versus "once removed" (telephone or online) issue from the patient's point of view? If you can imagine yourself as a patient (who couldn't answer his own questions as you can) how would you prefer to ask sensitive questions? Why? What do you think other patients prefer?Babblers--anyone else care to comment? Me--I'd rather handle it ALL over the phone--and yeah, I'd pay my pdoc for telephone consultation at the same rate as in-person. But that preference may well be as "ab"normal as the rest of me. Wonder if babblers and pharm students differ or agree on this point? Just wonderin'...
