Hi Renukaprasad A R, Among the many available treatment modalities for chronic venous diseases, the patient's condition, associated risk factors, and cost factors play a major role in concluding the treatment plan, which is never the same for all. Despite the patient's interest as the core of any medical treatment, there are times when a doctor's financial interest leads to unnecessary prescription of expensive treatment resulting in unethical practices around it. We have an expert phlebologist, Dr. Erika Mendoza, joining us TODAY at 6:00 PM IST for a MasterSeries session on "Choosing Wisely in Phlebology: Hearing from the Expert", organized in collaboration with the Venous Association of India, where she will discuss: - The need of treating veins - When and how against the financial interests of the doctor
- Current scenario of varicose veins treatment globally
- Clinical classification according to CEAP
- How is decision-making influenced by factors other than the patient's needs?
- Discuss real-world examples
- Availability of procedures, reimbursement, and knowledge
