J Health Care Poor Underserved. 2021;32(4):2249-2257. doi: 10.1353/hpu.2021.0197.

Abstract

After 10 years researching physician wrongdoing (i.e., sexual violations, improper prescribing, and unnecessary procedures), we developed a resource guide to help patients receive appropriate care and respond to inappropriate care. We gathered evaluative patient feedback, engaged physicians, and disseminated the guide. It is available at beforeyourvisit.org.
