Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Smith's Patient-Centered Interviewing: An Evidence-Based Method, 3e AB - The position of clinician is one of privilege. Patients entrust clinicians with the most intimate details of their lives, and society rewards them with prestige, job stability, and a decent standard of living. With this privilege comes responsibility. Patients expect support, understanding, explanation, relief from their symptoms and/or cure of their ailments, and society expects clinicians to act in the best interest of their patients, subordinating their own self-interest.1 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/11/07 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=56843001 ER -
