Doctor–patient relationship

The doctor–patient relationship is a special kind of relationship that happens when a doctor helps take care of a patient. In this relationship, the doctor is like a teacher. They help explain things to the patient and make sure they understand. They also give advice and prescribe treatments to help their patient feel better. The patient is like a student. They listen to the doctor’s advice, learn as much as they can, and follow the doctor’s instructions. It is a special relationship because the patient is trusting the doctor with their health and the doctor is committed to helping them feel better.
