Two-way respect is crucial for successful treatment

First Person | Shi Haoying

Patients' distrust of doctors can sometimes hinder a physician's ability to help them. The level of trust displayed by patients and their willingness to cooperate with a doctor often has an influence on the outcome of their treatment.

Doctors always want to help patients to improve their health through various means, but nobody can guarantee a 100-percent recovery. Sometimes a doctor has a radical approach in mind to treat a case, but if the patient doesn't show much trust, the doctor may not even mention the possible option because they don't want to cause trouble for themselves.
