<<Do you remember what Pris' definitions of "diagnosing" and "prescribing"
were/are?>>
No--I didn't take many notes since she had lots in the conference booklet.
But under "Ethical Issues Common to LC Practice" was:
The Temptation to "Diagnose" or Prescribe. (Common example: mother or infant
presents with thrush.)
I remember thinking at the time that she was describing exactly what I do.
I cast my vote for the task force. I'd have more time to tiptoe around
wording if I wasn't so busy, but I suspect my personality wouldn't let me
then, either.
