When shadowing Dr. Kevin Charlotten, a family medicine doctor in New York, I was able to see how he looked at the whole picture for all of his patients. For one patient he tied the reports given by different specialists together to treat his patient, a father of four. This patient had a complex medical history, and Dr. Charlotten reviewed his numerous medical reports. At the same time, he found that this patient had the same examinations done twice in the same year by two different specialists. The specialists ran unnecessary tests which contradicted each other, and they never thought to look at his history to see the many redundancies. Dr. Charlotten helped me see the whole person approach to patient care.
