In reply to Pdocs doing physical exams?????????, posted by Cecilia on June 16, 2001, at 4:31:11
If your doctor were to prescribe something like Effexor (which raises blood pressure), I'm sure he would check your BP from time to time. Same thing if you went on MAOI's. Have you any physical problems which might contribute to a lack of effectiveness or danger with certain drugs?
> Cam mentioned this in the thread on on-line psychiatry-just curious has anyone ever had a pdoc do this- mine certainly has never checked my BP or done any type of physical exam-frankly I suspect that any pdocs more than a few years out of medical school wouldn`t have a clue how to do any hands on care.
