Patients, families, caregivers - people of all styles, colors, and ages! In preparation for a coming workshop at the Society of General Internal Medicine, I am interested in how you understand DOCTORS' guidelines.
Doctors' guidelines are documents produced by committees, with some relation to the scientific evidence, meant to provide useful advice for practice. For the past decade (or more) we have known that these guidelines rarely include patient preferences.
These guidelines are frequently mentioned in the lay press. Do you know about these guidelines? Do you ever look at them or think about how you might be included? Or whether doctors follow them?
