A member asked:
A person asked a pcp if they see lot of people with chronic pancreatitis. he said yes but most don't recognize it. what does he mean by that answer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not common: Chronic pancreatitis is not very common. He probably means that he has seen enough of them, and is familiar enough with this condition, that he feels comfortable diagnosing and treating it.
