Doctor -Patient Relationship: An Empirical Analysis in Hospital

Abstract

Patients are hardly communicated for their pattern of treatment, unless and until one shows
anxiety to know about it. Informed choice for the treatment is conspicuous by its absence, as
patients are hardly informed and in turn patients also think that it is the doctor who is the most
competent person to look after the treatment. Treatment process cannot be viewed without the
patient involvement in the process of interaction. Patient should occupy the centre stage. The
serious issues of treatment should not by pass the patient but it should be a matter of available
choices.
