About this title

Synopsis

This unique text explores the patient-physician relationship, focusing on those relationships and societal problems that can have an impact on it. Writing for first- and second-year medical students, Drs. Mengel and Holleman describe the process of developing into a physician and how that affects the individual; the many cultural issues that can impact on the patient; and the current economic forces affecting the quality of health care. Students will benefit from the cogent clinical examples and cases that illustrate important points and the suggested supplementary readings.

Review

'Fascinating and well researched...This book successfully keeps the focus on the patient-physician relationship by inserting case presentations at regular intervals. The chapters are designed with cases and questions for small-group discussion at the end of each chapter.'
JABFP, Jan-Feb, 1998
'If you are looking for an exciting introductory textbook that speaks to the heart of the patient-physician relationship, this is your best bet...Since its focus is on the fundamentals of clinical practice, the text serves also as a current reference...It is bound to be a pivotal source of professional interest and use.'
Family Medicine, April 1998
