Making Informed Healthcare Decisions

Question 8 • GA-GSE Health Education

Isabella’s current cardiologist is moving to a different state, so Isabella found a new cardiologist. Which is an indicator that the new cardiologist is a poor choice?

Answer
A
The cardiologist is a specialist in the field.
B
The cardiologist takes most forms of insurance.
C
The cardiologist has been in practice for 10 years.
D
The cardiologist is not recommended by her current cardiologist.

Explanation

A recommendation from Isabella’s current cardiologist can help her find a qualified new doctor, since the current cardiologist knows her medical needs and may know trusted colleagues. Being a specialist, accepting most insurance, and having 10 years of experience are generally positive indicators. So the cardiologist not being recommended by her current cardiologist is the poor-choice indicator.
