70. Case Reflection - Breaking Up with a Patient

Four Eyes is sharing an all-new Case Reflection episode where Dr. Bilkhu and Dr. Kar discuss a patient encounter that led to firing the patient from the practice. This is an important conversation that new graduates and young ODs can learn from, especially when working as an associate doctor within a corporate or private practice setting.

The conversation dives into what could lead the doctor and staff to become uncomfortable with a patient, how a decision to break up with the patient comes to be, and what steps should be taken to ensure the procedure is handled appropriately and professionally.

It’s rare to have these conversations openly with other Optometrists, so be sure to listen to the entire episode and take notes!
