A patient coming to the doctor gives him/her permission and authority to care for them in accordance with appropriate test, diagnosis, and analysis. The clinical procedures performed are usually beneficial and seldom cause any problem. In rare case, underlying physical defects, deformities or pathologies may render the patient susceptible for injury. The doctor, of course, will not provide specific healthcare, if he/she is aware that such care may be contraindicated. It is the responsibility of the patient to make it known or to learn through health care procedures from whatever he/she is suffering from: latent pathological defects, illnesses, or deformities, which would otherwise not come to the attention of the physician. This office does not perform breast, pelvic, prostate, rectal, or full skin evaluations. These examinations should be performed by your family physician, GYN, and dermatologist to exclude cancers, abnormal skin lesions that should undergo biopsy/removal or other treatments. This clinic does not provide care for any condition (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol) other than those addressed in your physical medicine care plan. We also do not prescribe or refill ANY controlled substances. All prescriptions should be refilled by your original prescriber and any new prescriptions should be issued by your primary care provider.
The patient assumes all responsibility/liability if the patient does not report on health forms any past medical history, illnesses, medicines, or allergies.
I agree to settle any claim or dispute I may against or with any of these persons or entities, whether related to the prescribed care or otherwise, will be resolved by binding arbitration under the current malpractice terms which can be obtained by written request.
As healthcare providers we are concerned about your overall wellness. On future visits we will discuss issues wit you that may impact your overall health.
All of the answers I have given are correct to the best of my knowledge, and I agree to have an examination performed at Physical Healthcare of Jacksonville at this time.
