Meeting the human. What can I get out of it?
Journal Title: OncoReview - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Recently patients representatives are more often invited to oncological congresses. They would like to draw attention of the medical society to other than medical problems of people with cancer. Doctors should remember how important the human factor is in medical treatment. It helps to understand the needs and expectations of our patients. Such approach makes also our work more satisfactory.
