Hi

 

Yes I agree. I used to do home visits earlier in my practice, and found I

could usually guarantee that the

patient would back out of treatment when they were showing signs of

improvement, whilst they showed little motivation towards improving their

lif style..

Several instances also made me question whether the role as invalid was too

important to the family dynamic. This soon became more apparent with urgent

home visits for patients who normally come to my practice,as for instance

after hospital discharge. Their motivation and attitude was totally

different. Now I refer enquiries requesting home visits to other

practitioners, but will do a home visits for long term patients.

 

Regards
