I read a great study showing if doc's will just ask people
"Are you or have you ever been depressed?" the sucsess of finding
signifant depression goes up. Bedside manor helps. If a cold doc is wipping down a check list,
no one says "Yes" or "I, don't know". I would like to see primary docs
ask more questions of every patient, at least once while that person is in their care or every 5 years or so.
