From: A qualitative study of influences on older women’s practitioner choices for back pain care
Participant | Example |
---|---|
#47 | I'm trying to negotiate, or try and meet some new people [practitioners] up here in [town], so I don’t have to travel so far. |
#15 | I’m [currently] trying to find somewhere [any practitioner] nearby… |
#3 | I thought, “well what am I going to do?” So I looked up, and I found this person, and this was really off-the-cuff, who was close by at [suburb] where we lived at the time… |
#27 | But normally, it is word of mouth, or the yellow pages, or the Internet, its hit and miss. |
I might look up, depending how quickly I want to get there, look up the Yellow Pages, what I usually do. Sometimes I’ll ring a couple of them and just ask a few questions. | |
#18 | So I thought “well, nothing ventured nothing gained,” so I gave a ring, gave a call, and it turns out that he just lives down the road from me here, and that's where he practices from. So I just think “well, give it a try.” |
#28 | Just picked him out of the book, the phonebook I think. |
