DOCTOR-PATIENT TEAM-UP IS HIGH ART IN ATTAINING HEALTH
The problem of a doctor-patient team-up is predominant in medical ethics. Many new aspects of it have emerged. Their solution requires a comprehensive discussion, appreciation and, perhaps, legislative regulation. A doctor has become responsible for the health of all. He is obliged to all, holds a personal interest and answers for all. An onrushing, demanding, threatening patient has formed, but not a patient, seeking medical care. In attaining the highest value on earth - health, - at a minimum, a respected doctor who has confidence in his professional activities, works in workmanlike manner, and a patient who is interested in his health and interacts with a doctor, are required.
