You can help other patients by sending The Patients Human Rights and Doctors and Nurses Obligations to your email addresses and to someone who is going to a doctor and tell them to pass this important information to their email addresses.
Remember the doctor is not " giving" you medical treatment you are buying it or the government or your insurance is buying it. The doctor is your employee: The doctor is working for you.
Compassionate healthcare is nice to think about but what you really need is competent healthcare.
The Patients Human Rights and Doctors and Nurses Obligations are to protect you, the patients. from incompetent medical personal and adverse drug events, Did your doctor ever tell you about your patients rights? Do you know that you have patients rights? Here is what your rights are, print them for future references.
The Patients Human Rights and Doctors and Nurses Obligations rights were written by a patient with information from patients interviews. The medical establishments versions of patients rights, in my opinion, do not represent patients because patients were not involved in its development..
