patients requesting changes against better judgement of clinician
Posted By: Jennifer Halliday on January 24, 2012
Hi there. Have you ever had those patients who believe they know better? I am speaking specifically about those who require a UCBL style foot orthosis, but think it should take up no space to fit into their footwear that is already too small for them. I am wondering if anyone has a "contract" that they would have their patients sign stating they were made aware of the ramifications of changes, but still were wanting the insert cut down. I just want to have all bases covered. I have this conversation with every person who I design these for, but it seems most women are agreeable during the assessment, but then bring high heels and other such inappropriate footwear to the fitting. If anyone has a form, I'd love to see it. Take care, Jen -- Jen Halliday BSc CO(c) Advanced Mobility Orthopaedics Ltd. 14 Glenwood St. Sydney, NS B1P7G4 t902-270-4687 f902-270-3478 |
