LEVEL 2 -- REMEDIAL CARE (C)

Patients who choose this level of care desire treatment only when something breaks or becomes uncomfortable. Generally, patients at this level prefer short term cursory type examinations--screening for obvious advanced problems. They usually want to correct immediate problems with as little effort and cost as possible. Folks at this level are not yet ready for either thorough or preventive treatment. They live by the adage, "Let's do as little today as possible and let tomorrow take care of itself."
