Uterus1: What is the primary concern patients mention?
Dr. Rodney Halvorsen: I think all of us want to be healthy and live productive lives. So when patients come to me for their annual examination, they want to be screened for certain diseases that they are aware of in their family. It can be anything from heart disease to osteoporosis as well as breast or ovarian cancer. They want to be reassured they are healthy and don’t have any of these diseases. When the patient has an illness, she wants reassurance that her problem can be fixed. Fortunately, the art of medicine lets doctors develop a unique set of skills to work with patients. We spend years studying, but the other part is the ability to give emotional support to our patients.
