What do you guys think about Doctor-Patient Relationships? Good or Bad?

Are you saying "Doctor-Patient" relationship as in DATING? Because thats probably not what the medical student means. Doctor-Patient relationship refers to the interaction of physicians and patients on a professional basis.\n\nPhysicians aren't supposed to date their patients, since that violates the "doctor-patient" relationship.

WHEN I WAS 16 I WENT TO THE DOCTOR FOR MIGRAINES.  HE WAS A GYNECOLOGIST AND INSISTED THAT BIRTH CONTROL PILLS WOULD HELP.  WHEN I WENT IN FOR THE VISIT, HE MADE ME STRIP DOWN AND PUT ON A GOWN AND GET ON THE TABLE IN THE STIRRUPS.  AND AS HE BEGAN THE EXAM, HE EXCUSED HIMSELF FOR AN EMERGENCY OUTSIDE THE ROOM.  HE LEFT ME IN THAT POSITION FOR 10 MINUTES WHILE HE ARGUED OUTSIDE OF MY DOOR WITH HIS WIFE.  WHEN HE CAME BACK IN, I WAS COMPLETELY DRESSED AND HE GOT ON TO ME FOR DRESSING--THE EXAM WASN'T OVER.  I INFORMED HIM THAT IT WAS INDEED OVER AND THEN I PROCEEDED TO CUSS HIM OUT.  AND WHEN I GOT TO THE PAYMENT WINDOW, I TOLD THE GIRL THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY'D BE GETTING ANY PAYMENT FOR THOSE SERVICES WAS IF SHE GOT THE MONEY OUT OF HIS WIFE'S ACCOUNT!!!\n\nI'VE NEVER BEEN SO PISSED OFF IN MY LIFE!!!

I am chronically ill.  Lately I found that my doctor has been mal-treating me for the last four years.  I am a peaceful person, but this has had me furious.  I have thought how much fun it would be to break him in half.  So, in this case it is good that I've not gotten out much.

You gatta love to do it.  Also, I found that it helps me to have a "patient to nurse" relationship.  You don't want to get too close, but you don't want to be too distant either.  Sometimes the patients feel more comfortable with you then the doc becuase you are around much.  In turn, they will be more likely to let you know when something is wrong.  The body sometimes needs help to heal with docs and meds, but the mind must be open and stress free and that part of my job!

Eek. Doctors have to work all the time. They even have to work on christmas. They work in hospitals or in small little offices. They should never develope a relationship with their patients. There are many kinds of doctors. ER Doctors work specificially in the Emergency Room, doctors who give birth, doctors who give shots, etc. They must wash their hand for 2 minutes after helping someone. They must be very clean. They can't turn a patient down. If your teacher wants you to be specific then you should say which kind of doctor you prefer to be. A doctor who gets involved in lots of blood or a doctor who puts bandaides on a little boy who fell of his skateboard.

There is an area in the middle (bottom 25% of good, top 25% of bad or so) which might be referred to as "Naughty" -- and "Naughty" can be very very nice to be in a relationship with.\n\nIf they get more good than that, then they tend to become boring -- and who wants to be stuck in a relationship with a boring person?  So in that way, too much good is bad.  Not bad if they're on the PTA or in line at the grocery store, just bad if you're waking up next to such a person for seven years running.\n\nOn the other hand, if they get more bad than that, then they tend to turn into the drama queens of their own soap-operatic lives.  And this is okay if you need someone cussing out their associates in a refreshingly direct way at the bus stop or giving you wrong change for your lunch and complaining about it just to demonstrate that your co-workers really aren't all *that* bad, but it can be bad if you're waking up next to such a person for seven years running.\n\nNow you've hopefully noticed that there are two types of bad here.  There's the "ooh, it's 'bad' so I'm going to gasp and blush and avert my eyes and bury my head in the sand" kind of bad and there's the "well what makes you think it was my fault you've picked up 17 sexually transmitted diseases" kind of bad.  Error on whichever side of bad you find to be less distressing.

Obviously, it is the material response that patients first seek from us, hoping a pill or procedure can restore them to good health. But it is also clear that natural science cannot be the only form of help we bring the sick—even when our interventions cure them, and especially when the body’s incurable ailments afflict the soul. It would be the very opposite of wisdom to believe that doctors alone can heal the souls of their patients. Yet to conceive of the patient as materiality alone is a kind of degradation, even if that is what the patient wants.

I would have to say that it makes a man seem lazy and that he doesn't care about himself as much as he should.  As someone that plans to go into medicine I would hope that my man considers his health before being interested in someone that clearly has a passion for it.

Yes, I think it depends on the Doctor I used to work in a Radiology Department and I meet allot of different kinds of Doctors some were so good and loved to make sure everything in his/her work was done right. I even know some doctors talk to themselves out loud (a girl can pick up a few things from those ones) and others well they sit in a darkroom reading Radiology films all day for 12hrs a day at times and those ones make some good money too. You just have to look at every kind of doctor and find out whit kind you want to be more so look at yourself look at the person you are I have some friends that are doctors and they are very loving but when it comes to the people they treat they are mean to everyone(but the patient) cause they feel that what the person they are trying to get help for is worth the fight. I cant tell you much more or this would end up like a book. I got to know some wonderful people in the medical Field that love there work no matter how sad, stressed, or tired the work makes them. They do it cause they love to help others and hope there difference in this world is felt.

i agree to what your saying but not all decisions based on emotions are bad because if we didn't have emotions towards are decisions then no one would choose to become doctors and save lives and no one would chose to make or help fundraising for people in need but like i said i agree with everything you said about emotions but there are positive sides to them too.

This isn't what you want to hear, but wound care doctors are not known for their gentle touch. From what I've heard from friends, visits to see one of those guys is always painful.

You're right, no one should be diminished like that, especially by a doctor in an authority role who's obligation is to treat medical problems without espousing their moral ignorance.\n\nThat said, I wonder if some of your anger isn't being funneled at the doctor than at you g/f picking up what may be due to unprotected sex with someone else.  That possibility has to be floating around in your head somewhere, even if you aren't quite aware.  Hope that's not the case but it could be.  Anyway, let the doc thing go.  It's wasted emotion.

I think u make a really good point! All kinds of Doctors are in bed with the drug industry! \n\nI am not sure how that makes psychiatry evil but i think they should lower their rates so the people that really need their help can afford it if they are making BIG BUCKS from the drug industry! It is a shame that they would take kick backs to prescribe a drug u might not need! \n\nDr Phil is a mean spirited entertainer. I know he us supposed to be a psychologist but i seen him call a mother stupid because her son was overeating! I think he is obnoxious!

Yeah, tell your mom. He is a pervert. Yes to a certain degree he is supposed to talk to you about sex, but not in that way. He said he likes describing these different types of sexual acts. Something is wrong with him. When there is a patient and the doctor is of the opposite sex there is supposed to be another doctor/nurse the same sex as the patient. For example: You are a female he is a male there was supposed to be another female in there like a nurse. If it makes you feel comfortable some docs. let you bring along a friend or female along. But I would definitely change my doctor from a male to a female. He just seems like a freak. I just don't know what type of men actually like taking that job, it just seems very freaky to me. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. BUT DEFINITELY TELL YOUR MOM. AND DON'T GO BACK TO HIM.

If you're not happy with your current doctor, you could talk to him/her about the problems.\nEither way, it's your health in their hands, so find someone you're happy with.\nI almost switched doctors when my previous doctor's case-load was taken over by a new doctor- but I stuck it out with her and she's turned out to be a great doctor.\nYou gotta speak up though.

Hi Ebony!\nI've heard about the Joyner, Donald R MD. He's a good family man but has a bad habit at the race track. He welshed on a loan so, some goons had to be sent out to collect a payment. When the good doctor couldn't cough it up, they had to tie his fingers together in a most unpleasant way.\nEbony, my girlfriend was unfortunate to be in the waiting room thumbing through the Ladies Home Journal when she had to witness the unfortunate events. I don't know if Joyner, Donald R MD is still practicing medicine or not.\n-Justin
