physician that he needs vitamin B12 shots every two weeks for a
period of six weeks. In addition, he is to check his glucose by sticking his
finger daily before or after breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The physician then
says that she wants to see him for a return visit in six weeks. After the
physician leaves, you ask the patient if he understands the instructions, and
he says yes. You ask him to repeat the instructions, and he tells you, he must
have B12 shots three times per day, and check his blood glucose once
per day before or after a meal. He must return for a visit in six weeks.
