You and Your Doctor - A Guide to a Healing Relationship, with Physicians' Insights (Paperback, New)

Changes in the healthcare field have threatened the once sacred relationship between patient and physician. While much has been written on the subject of the doctor-patient relationship for physicians and other healthcare providers, information tailored for patients remains lacking. This welcome volume offers practical information to help patients make the most of their interaction with their doctors. Among the topics discussed are finding the right physicians, gaining direct telephone access to a doctor, ensuring good communication between health care providers, protecting personal health information, seeking a second opinion, and using walk-in clinics. In-depth interviews with primary care physicians and medical specialists provide a unique perspective on issues of importance to patients, from pediatrics to geriatrics. The personal relationship between doctor and patient remains the foundation of healing and good practice, and this guide offers valuable advice for protecting and maximizing this crucial relationship.
