They often give clinical recommendations and prescriptions, usually after a quick skim of the medical history and a rushed five minute conversation with the patient. It would be nice to know how many of these typical in-office recommendations wind up being actually backed by the current state of the research, whether a citation is given in the visit or not.

You learn the reason why and then you just follow whatever the latest update to the algorithm is. Doctors are then graded by administrators as to how well they follow that flow chart. Have you done this or that screening, is BP well controlled, etc. Medicare sets many of the standards, you look up the USPTF guidelines for some more idea of what your doctor should be doing. So yeah. Kinda like factory work. “Pt male 70 wakes up urinate - does he have signs of infection > yes/ no> proceed to no > next step do this test > prescribe this med > re evaluate in 2-4 weeks. “
