Physician-patient relationship

The physician-patient relationship is a partnership built on trust, respect, and open communication. It involves the doctor providing professional care, sharing information about health conditions and treatment options, and respecting the patient's preferences and values. This relationship encourages patients to share honest information about their health and concerns, enabling effective diagnosis and treatment. A strong relationship fosters mutual understanding, supports patient autonomy, and promotes better health outcomes. Ultimately, it’s about working together to maintain or improve health in a compassionate and ethical manner.
