The Consultation Mindset

In the medical profession, a Consultant is a senior, experienced doctor who is available to give advice to less experienced doctors. However, from my forty years experience in dealing with the medical profession, it seems that all doctors have fallen into this “consult” mindset and they all adopt this approach even when dealing with patients. I have never met a doctor who will take overall responsiblity for finding the underlying cause of a patient’s health problem.
