Not my what my doctor said! When I asked her if she had considered screening all patients for childhood trauma, she said, "oh, we know who to ask." I was stunned. We had just completed the paperwork for my medical leave from work one day/week for chronic PTSD. She was completely ignoring the fact that a) she had never asked me anything about my background and b) I had told her the PTSD is due to childhood trauma.
She has never asked for any additional information. I would think she would want to know if I was sexually abused, for example, since that could have major consequences for medical exams. I haven't pressed any information on her, since she is clearly not ready to hear it.
I would like to see a day when all doctors' practices screen all patients at intake, and ask questions about traumatic experiences during annual exams.
