https://padlet.com/ohaganw/ep3z0v219g0d M.C. is a 58 y.o. Male with hypertension. He has tried three separate blood pressure medications and has seen little success. A friend suggested he visit a naturopathic doctor, but he has never been to one before and doesn’t know what they do. He’s also sceptical of them. Many people still do not know what naturopathic doctors do. As a profession what should we do and how can we change this? What should he do? What if there was only one naturopathic doctor in town? What actions can doctors take to be more physically accessible? Is it our responsibility to work around the physical obstacles of a community? As a naturopathic doctor, what can you do/recommend? en-us 2017-09-24 23:29:40 UTC 2017-09-28 18:13:08 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ohaganw/ep3z0v219g0d/wish/192184731 Do you spend money on cable? going out to eat? grabbing the occasional beverage?
