Originally published in 1964, this book describes the hospital
service as it is seen by patients. It is based mainly on interviews
with a random sample of patients and discusses the relationships
between patients and between them and hospital doctors, nurses, and
general practitioners. The best available medical care should not
only be given, but the patient and his relatives should feel that
this has been given. Explanations need to be seen not as a lavish
appendage, but as an integral part of medical care. Recognition and
acceptance of this responsibility could stimulate interest in
patients' social lives, so that hospital staff become more aware of
the difficulties patients may encounter when they leave hospital.
This in turn could lead to greater integration between the hospital
and welfare services and between the hospital and the general
practitioners. Still relevant today this study can now be read in
its historical context.
