Any room to talk about the lessening personality of the doctor-patient relationship? With every step forward in technology, a doctor relies less on what a patient is saying and more on what his/her instruments are saying. A person becomes not a patient but merely another body to be worked on. Highly opinionated the way I word it, but thats why I'm posting it here. --24.18.62.22 (talk) 19:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Dash format

[edit]

I believe that the phrase should use an endash. The article's title uses an emdash while the opening sentence uses a hyphen. Axl ¤ [Talk] 08:36, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: recent move reverted. If the editor who moved it wants to object, he/she should lodge a proper move request. Rennell435 (talk) 10:14, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor—patient relationship → Doctor-patient relationship – This page was moved from Doctor-patient relationship to Doctor—patient relationship, without discussion, against all accepted standards of punctuation (en dash [–] would be right, not em dash[—]), and apparently in ignorance of the ArbCom injunction currently in force that prohibits exchanges of hyphen and en dash in moves (though this is doubly wrong, because of the em dash). The move was executed in this edit. I ask that the original title be restored immediately. (I would request, once the ArbCom injunction is lifted, that the article be moved to Doctor–patient relationship, in accord with WP:MOS and common practice.)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

"Perspectives" section

[edit]

I moved most of the Perspectives section to here, because the content needs a cleanup before reinsertion. First, it needs to be fitted into other sections, or into new, more specific sections, because "Perspectives of..." makes it basically a trivia section. I moved some information that I understood as an issue of continuity of care to its proper section under Issues, but the rest still needs to be organized in a more encyclopaedic way. Mikael Häggström (talk) 11:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perspectives

[edit]

The physician-patient relationship can be analyzed from the perspective of ethical concerns, in terms of how well the goals of non-maleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice are achieved. Many other values and ethical issues can be added to these. In different societies, periods, and cultures, different values may be assigned different priorities. For example, in the last 30 years medical care in the Western World has increasingly emphasized patient autonomy in decision making.

The relationship and process can also be analyzed in terms of social power relationships (e.g., by Michel Foucault), or economic transactions. Physicians have been accorded gradually higher status and respect over the last century, and they have been entrusted with control of access to prescription medicines as a public health measure. This represents a concentration of power and carries both advantages and disadvantages to particular kinds of patients with particular kinds of conditions. A further twist has occurred in the last 25 years as costs of medical care have risen, and a third party (an insurance company or government agency) now often insists upon a share of decision-making power for a variety of reasons, reducing freedom of choice for healthcare providers and patients in many ways.

In some settings, e.g. the hospital ward, the patient-physician relationship is much more complex, and many other people are involved when somebody is ill: relatives, neighbors, rescue specialists, nurses, technical personnel, social workers and others.

Other Perspectives

[edit]

In non-Western societies, particularly traditional Eastern societies and American Indian societies, the physician/patient relationship may be couched in different terms. The illness may be seen as a violation of the spiritual realm and the cure will be seen likewise as having to take place in the spiritual realm. Violation of some spiritual rule can result in illness; persons distant to the patient may have caused illness by manoeuvres in the spiritual realm, by cursing or causing another practitioner / shaman / healer to place the curse. Powerful faith in these factors can result in serious illness or cure. Spirits can be part of a culture's usual pantheon, ancestor spirits or arbitrary new spirit forces arising independently or as derived from an existing object in the real world: such as an animist spirit coming from a totem animal, mountain or other thing. As in the scientific West, the practitioner is assumed to have special knowledge or power, and is paid by the patient in some form.

Consider Revision

[edit]

Consider looking at the spelling errors that are currently present within this article. There are instances of misspellings that could easily make this article appear more reliable. Also consider looking at the word choice in most of the sections as there may be a better way to describe or "get to the point" quicker with less unnecessary words.

Move the patient behavior section under aspects of relationship

[edit]

IT seems as if "patient behavior" should be bumped up as a subheading under aspects or relationship. Could not figure out how to make this change without causing issue with cited sources. MarkOG (talk) 18:41, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed modifications: new sections, changes to existing sections

[edit]

I intend to add 2 new subsections for Medical mistrust and Physician communication style under "Aspects of relationship" - I also plan to add sources to the flagged Physician superiority section and make some revisions to sections including the Introduction and Physician bias. I plan to add more Wikipedia links within the article as well.
