I try to be a lot more patient. I try to be a lot more understanding, especially when it comes to consent for care, consent for surgery. There are a lot of folks where you're like, oh my gosh, why wouldn't you do this? Or why wouldn't you take this medication that I gave you? Why are you not compliant? And as opposed to just kind of laying at their feet for them, assuming that they just don't want to do it or they're forgetful, you have to really understand what's the basis behind that decision.
What we do know though is chronic sinusitis is a terrible detriment on the quality of life, and in fact some studies have shown that chronic sinusitis has a bigger detriment in the quality of life than people who suffer from lower back pain
Dr. Chiu tries to be more patient and understanding when patients appear non-compliant, exploring whether there is distrust, a barrier to obtaining medication, or insufficient explanation.
Public health networks established for COVID vaccination studies use techniques (participatory research, community engagement) applicable to otolaryngology topics like HPV vaccine uptake.
Data from 2012 (decade-old) show that African American Black patients consent less to head and neck cancer surgery and have poorer outcomes even when case-controlled for tumor stage.
When a patient gives 'that look' suggesting they may not follow through, Dr. Chiu now explores the underlying reason rather than assuming forgetfulness or lack of motivation.
