A member asked:

Can you tell me in the every day life of a rheumatologist, how would one treat patients, use technology for treatment etc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: The question is much too broad to answer in the space provided. I spend my day diagnosing and treating rheumatic disorders. A good history and physical exam are the best diagnostic tools.
