The link to the article is above. This article is about the recent trend that patients are afraid to speak in front of their doctors. A recent study was conducted, which revealed that most patients are afraid to talk freely with their doctor because they feel that the doctor is dominating. However, the study was done on a very limited sample size and so should be discounted until a larger study has been done, which is happening in the near future.
I like and don't like this article. I like this article because as my passion is medicine and becoming doctor, I always find articles and information about doctor-patient contact interesting. I also liked it because it brought up a point that I had never really thought of before. I didn't like the article because of the comments which were found at the bottom of the article by people who had read it. It was basically just a feeding ground for losers who thought that their doctors had something to hide from them. Honestly, I hate it when people complain about what their doctor said because they think that it is wrong and unfair. Most patients didn't have to go through 12 years of post-high school education, and not everything on the internet can be believed. Overall, however, I really liked the way that the article was written because it was very effective in hiding any bias that the author may have of the issue. I also did enjoy reading the article, minus the comments.
