Forgotten Art of Communication: Has Doctor-Patient Communication taken a Back Seat in Modern Day Medical Practice?
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
A good communication skill for a doctor is central to the profession of medicine. The well established fact is that hospital staff –patient communication starts immediately on arrival of patient to hospital till his discharge or on completion of the consultation in the doctor’s chamber or an investigation or procedure for which he has reported to the hospital. Modern medicine relies more on scientific biochemical and imaging techniques and diagnosis and the communication between the patient and the doctor, as used to exist earlier, has probably taken a back seat in contemporary medical practice.
