Hi all,
This is to inform you that during consultation, you may need to
provide me honestly, with your age and gender (not a must if your
question is for educational purposes, but applied to people who
wish to have their condition understood and clarified), and at
times, even race.
You need to understand that this is for risk stratification of
certain diseases that may be more common towards certain age
groups, gender and race.
If you feel too sensitive over providing me with such information,
you can PM me and I will keep it confidential.
Example:
The middle aged female patients are more prone to acquiring
rheumatoid arthritis.
Guys in their 20s who acquire certain HLA genes are more prone to
succumbing to Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Indians, based on their common food and the way they cook it are
more prone (according to statistics) to succumbing to heart
diseases.
Information provided are at your own disposal and your own
responsibility.
Your cooperation is much appreciated. Thank you!
