10 questions that the GP often hears: ‘Now that I’m here, can I still show you something small?’ | Healthy

1. While I’m here: can I show you something small?
Rutger Verhoeff: ,,Patients regularly make a 10-minute appointment for something innocent, when they actually come for something else. With the door handle already in their hand, they then ask: ‘Doctor, could I show you something small?’ Then it turns out that he or she is much more concerned about erection problems or a growing wart. This is not ‘something small’: many people think that you can solve erection problems with a pill, but there may be physical or mental factors behind it. More research is needed for that and I can’t solve that in a minute.”
