Having been to remote areas of Thailand, Vietnam, India, Egypt and China myself (as a traveller, however, not a health professional) let me assure you that it may be an easy sell in Canada but not necessarily so in other regions.
> asking a Patient with a history of pain if they > are in pain has to be different from one that just started. Surely, but it makes a lot of sense to ask the patient if the pain has worsened/bettered/shifted in location or type. Or if other symptoms have become apparent since the first assessment. > Patient expectations are reasonable, usually. They expect some action > soon, and it should be proper and timely. The difference between "soon" and "timely" often makes all the difference in perception of adequate immediate care between provider and patient.
