The Doctor Patient Relationship Is The Principle Of Mutual...

The doctor-patient relationship is of a fiduciary nature, which is rooted in the basic principles of mutual respect and trust between the two parties involved. As a future physician, it is of utmost importance that all interactions with a patient are conducted in such a manner that his or her best interests are taken into consideration and sense of dignity is maintained, at all times. Though these professional tenets may appear obvious, they are sometimes not demonstrated in practice when one is faced with unfamiliar or challenging clinical situations, where patients are complex, their needs are diverse, and ease of communication is not always guaranteed. At more than 54.4 million people, the population of those currently living with a disability in the United States is substantial; therefore, doctors are nearly guaranteed to see these patients in the clinic over the course of their medical career. The term â€Å"disability† refers to a range of developmental and/or acquired conditions that can limit one’s physical and/or psychological functioning.

Dr. Everett just could not believe that doctors would advertise and sell laser eye surgery based on low price as if it were a stereo or a used car. The fact that they were advertising based on price was bad enough, but the price they were promoting–$900 for both eyes–was ridiculous.
