Text from the image linked to above:
One problem per consultation please:
- Too many problems distract the doctor
- Doctor may be more likely to rush
- Ten minutes is not long at all
- Other patients will be kept waiting
- Serious illness might get missed
- Doctor needs time to write up notes
- Doctor needs to focus to detect serious disease early
- A limited resource should be used with care
