Springboard message Dr. Bachman

The medical literature this week went south with nothing really outstanding….  so I chose this click image (above).
The graph talks about retention of information If you chat with a patient and just talk, if you show pictures, or if you combine both.  If you look at the figure it will make a big difference in how you present to your patients as well as with your colleagues… Visual and Verbal together are the way to go… Pull out a piece of paper and draw for patients!   .I have included this web link http://www.osha.gov/doc/outreachtraining/htmlfiles/traintec.html
