Patients Increasingly Distrustful of Doctors

31 July 2008 13 views No Comment

Recent research and anecdotal reports suggest that patients increasingly distrust their doctors. According to a study conducted by Johns Hopkins researchers, approximately a quarter of patients feel that doctors may expose them to unnecessary risk. The growing doubt around physician care, some contend, is part of a larger, systemic problem that removes doctors from the world patients live in.  Tara Parker-Pope, The New York Times  07/29/2008
