In this episode of *Talking Rehab*, I dive into an intriguing topic about how physicians handle complex cases and the impact of referrals. After years of managing challenging musculoskeletal conditions, I explore whether referring physicians, like myself, can unintentionally create bias in surgical recommendations. This episode is a bit speculative, but I encourage you to tune in and join the conversation!
Here’s a quick breakdown of the key moments:
- **[00:00]** – Introduction to rehabilitation and my background as a sports and spine physician.
- **[00:36]** – Discussing complex cases and patient feedback, especially how I navigate non-straightforward cases.
- **[02:01]** – The importance of note-taking and long-term follow-up on patients’ progress.
- **[03:19]** – A real case of knee pain that led me to question surgical referrals and decision-making.
- **[05:12]** – Why some surgeons might avoid surgery for complex patients and whether my referral plays a role in that.
- **[07:03]** – Speculating on the impact of surgeon bias and the disconnect between patient notes and patient experiences.
- **[09:00]** – An open call to discuss the role of referral sources in medical decisions and the need for more collaboration in complicated cases.
If you're a physician, physical therapist, or a patient with thoughts on this, I’d love to hear from you! Let’s explore how referrals shape patient outcomes and whether complexity is something to shy away from or embrace.
