The Most Unhealthy Relationship of All. A Guide To Better Doctor-Patient Communication

This book is a guide on how to improve doctor-patient dialogue through mutual understanding of each other's points of view. The whole healthcare system should be changed to encourage communication. In the real world, any doctor or patient can now learn to communicate with almost anyone. Medical jargon courses and communication workshops are not compulsory. This book presents the issue of what actually happens in the dynamics of the doctor's patient. As with any relationship, the fault does not lie with one person or the other: it is a product of how doctors and patients work or do not work together. This reading is a journey into the heads of everyone involved in the communication mess that is modern medicine.
