- How can the patient be kept primary? Is the patient less important than the research or the trial?
- Is trust in doctors declining?
- Are doctors being perceived as device-toting gadgeteers? Is there a systematic dehumanising of medicine?
- Does this aloof attitude help research? Or help trials?
- Do doctors exist to please patients? If so, how far do they stray from the truth?
- Anyway, what is the truth? Do doctors acknowledge the incompleteness of scientific knowledge and empirical practice of the science to their patients without garnishing?
- If you cannot trust your own doctor, who will you trust? (BMJ).
- Is the concept of "my patients"and "my doctor" melting down like a snowflakes in the mid-day sun?

Trust is of utmost importance...unless the patient trusts the doctor he is approaching and unless the doctor gives the confidence the patient requires the prescribed medicines are not going to cure that easily.
Medicines and treatment are at one end whereas understanding the psychology of patient and his requirements are at the other end of the complete cure for any ailment.....trust becomes the connecting bridge between these two ends.

Thank you for a mesmerizing viewpoint.
Is the bridge of trust becoming more or less common? Is it random or selective or universal? Can building such bridges be taught or imbibed by osmosis?
