1Physicians in surgical specialties were also more likely to perceive themselves as often or sometimes having enough time when compared with physicians in medical specialties (OR 2.5; 95% CI 1.3 – 4.6) 2Physicians who preferred shared decision-making were non-significantly more likely to perceive they often or sometimes spent enough time with patients in visits compared to physicians who preferred consumerism (OR 1.78; 95% CI 0.96 – 3.28). | ||
