Doctors To Take Patient Approach
Doctors in the UK have been urged to be nicer to their patients to increase their chances of recovery. They have been told that improving their bedside manner will not only give the sick and vulnerable a greater sense of dignity and respect, it could even save their lives. According to advice in the British Medical Journal, doctors need to adopt an 'A,B,C and D of dignity' when treating the sick. The letters stand for attitude, behaviour, compassion and dialogue.

I always knew that a lil bit of LOVE can go a very long way.
Keshi.
That applies to "how to stay healthy" as well, I think.
It's really sad when you have to admonish a healer to treat patients with kindness and respect.
Hi Keshi,
Yes it does go a long way.

I have a very good friend who worked many years in the UK health system and she shares your view.
