Instead, when Taiwanese patients go to a second and third doctor, they do not inform the doctor of who saw them earlier. Thus there is no consultation among the doctors, to say nothing of sharing results of examinations that have already been performed. Consequently, each doctor repeats the entire process, performing redundant examinations, and prescribing the same medication again-not only wasting health care resources, but also delaying effective treatment.
因為，我們的病人在看第二、第三位醫師時，前面的醫師都未被告知，無從會商，更遑論分享已經做過的檢查，以致於每一位醫生都是從頭開始，作重複的檢查，開重複的藥，不僅浪費醫療資源，也延誤治病的時機。
