I downloaded it from http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/reprint/327/7417/745.pdf.
It is great, thank you. Puts things into
perspective. Vedrana From: Visit
BMJ 2003;327:745-748 (27 September),
doi:10.1136/bmj.327.7417.745 “Strategies to help patients understand
risks”. J Paling. I have found his Palings Perspective Scale and P P
Palette very useful in explaining the degree of risk to women re screening
tests and possible outcomes of various actions. MM Off the top of my head and without
philosophical musings, I read thousands of words in dozens of references (just
try googling “health risk management”) and this was the only thing
I saw about doing no harm to the “patient”. Most of it was
all about being blamed for harm that might be done and how to minimize being
taken to the cleaners. It was not contained in the body of the quoted article
by paul bellarmy whose article is interesting. I forget which one it was in,
but could probably find it again if needed. Thanks for the compliment. MM What
strikes you as particularly interesting about that Mary? I'm very interested in
your perspective as you are one of the wisest women I know. warmly,
