“If you listen long enough, the patient will tell you what the problem is.” This basic medical rule is how I try approach the new patient with a concern regarding the urinary or male reproductive systems. Giving a person the time to explain symptoms and feelings can often break down a seemingly complex problem into straightforward treatments.
