Complementary Medicine:
Case 2 Discussion
In this case, there are few clearly effective treatments for the medical condition. Hence, complementary approaches may be a reasonable recommendation, assuming they are not harmful. While you may know little about homeopathy yourself, you may encourage your patient to consult with local experts or the library to find out more about what homeopathy can offer. It may be appropriate to seek alternative therapies, but they should be researched or recommended. Encourage your patient to stay in contact with you and explore opportunities.
