Building Patient/Doctor Trust

By Frank H. Boehm

Building Patient/Doctor Trust is a compilation of Dr. Frank Boehm's expert and personal opinions surrounding health care, both medical and political. Medical care appears no longer to be determined by a close patient/doctor relationship where decisions can be made based solely on patients' needs. In today's roller-coaster world of managed-care medicine, Dr. Boehm believes there is much more to medical care than simply providing medical care. The "more" is establishing a trusting relationship between you and your doctor. Your doctor needs to listen and understand what's going on in your personal life and how it may be affecting your health and well-being. But you also have a responsibility to understand and know your doctor. Dr. Boehm presents new thinking on a wide variety of issues and controversies related to health care today. These opinions are intended to create meaningful dialogue between patients and doctors in an effort to build trust.
