Patients come for counseling and psychotherapy in order for them to get help, not to be embarassed or get humiliated just because you've given out information about them to others. They need to be assured that whatever info they'll give to you'll keep it between the two of you. Assuring them of confidentiality could help you gain your patient's trust. If your patient trusts you, he/she could then give accurate info about him/her or about his/her problem.

when you do something for someone, a customer in this case, usually at a price, that is a service rendered.

I think that your best option is to present both options to your patient. Present the medicines to them and tell them that there are side effects and how likely the effects are to occur and to what extent etc... then present the homopathic remedies that you know without a doubt are safe. If you are not 100% sure then it is not safe to present those options. Then have open dialoge with your patient and let them decide which option is best while still reserving the right to change their mind and try the other treatment if their chosen treatment isn't working to their satisfaction.

Please make sure you genuinely care for people if you choose nursing.\nIts wonderful having a caring nurse when you are needing care...They are much admired, much valued and much appreciated by the sick...\nWe take good health so much for granted...and we also take these service professions for granted too...\nIts not an easy job...but its very rewarding..if you care for people and enjoy looking after them...and I speak from a patients point of view...

well, as someone that works closely with others in a small office, i would say my greatest factor is whether I will get my coworkers sick!  A personal pet peeve is when someone comes in with a fever, sore throat, bad cough, and then everyone in the office ends up missing time at work.\n\nAlso, since I work closely with clients, I would say if I am so sick that I can not "be there" for my clients, if i can not provide the service that they are there for, then my happy butt needs to go home.

As a dental student, I recently had a conversation with a friend about such a dilemma (albeit for a dentist, who's essentially a "mouth" doctor).\n\nI believe that a doctor cannot have a romantic relationship with a patient if the "courtship" has occurred in a professional situation (ie: bedside, in a consulting room), nor can he/she use any information supplied in confidence (such as addresses or phone numbers) to contact the patient for the purposes of such a relationship. However, were the doctor to "court" this patient outside a professional situation (such as at the local pub, or at a music concert) then there is nothing ethically wrong about this, and the doctor would then be allowed to use any information supplied in this situation for the purposes of contacting the patient. If the patient says, "I gave you my phone number in the surgery this morning," the doctor should still insist on getting the number again - this will cover them in the case of an allegation of unprofessional conduct.\n\nEven after this, both parties must be aware that in a professional situation, the professional doctor-patient relationship must be maintained, and the doctor must not use his/her position to gain any advantage or disadvantage to the patient that he/she is not normally entitled to. The burden of responsibility falls on the doctor, who has a "duty of care" over the patient.\n\nTwo situations:\n\nA doctor finishes work at the hospital, goes to the local pub for a drink where he bumps into a patient. They talk for a while about various things but he politely declines to discuss her case. They then go back to her house where they have intercourse. \n\nAnother doctor is in his consulting room tending to a patient when she invites him out to for a drink. He agrees to meet her at the pub that evening. They discuss various things, and the doctor agrees to provide a more expensive therapy for the same cost because he likes her. After this, they go back to her house where they have intercourse.\n\nWhich one of these doctors has acted unprofessionally? It's the second one, and even though both doctors did the same things, they did so in DIFFERENT situations, the first one being more appropriate than the second. Should the second patient report her doctor to a practising board, the doctor will find himself with the unpleasant experience of having to defend his actions, whereas the first doctor can simply tell the board he met the patient in a casual, social setting for which the board has no jurisdiction.\n\nSo the ethics really comes down to doing the right thing at the right time.

Offer first time client discounts, discounts or free massages for clients who refer new customers to you, hand out cards to existing clients that have a coupon (just write $10 off on back) to give out to friends, etc.\nAdvertising can be important, but it is usually expensive for the independent mt and although you build your name, can be slow to bring clients in the door.\nIn my view, it's most important to utilize the clients you already have by the above AND giving your best to every client, every time.  Go out of your way to research problems they have, get continuing education specifically for the problems you see most in your practice, provide home care and referrals as you see indicated, spend the time to get to know your clients and meet their needs.  Going the extra mile wins client loyalty and makes them feel special.  Clients who get this kind of care are your best advertisment!

Doctors are to listen to their patients because many symptoms are not evident. A chat with the patient to find out what he is feeling is more accurate than drawing blood and doing all kind of tests. \nSo it seems like you have a bunch of doctors who are not listening to you or paying attention to you. I will agree you should change the hospital where you are to another. If the hospital staff behave like that, that shows the lack of professionalism in that facility. I will agree that you file charges for compensation to repay for your suffering. If they had been attentive, you would not have to undergo unnecessary pains. Seek legal recourse not only against the doctors but also the hospital. There may be others who may not survive similiar ordeals.

A nurse is a care taker of the patient. The nurse should take care of the patient without any prejudice, that whether he is rich or poor. She should also be willing to work anywhere in the world in any condition.
