On Caring For 'Difficult' Patients -- Miksanek 27 (5): 1422 -- Health Affairs



On Caring For 'Difficult' Patients -- Miksanek 27 (5): 1422 -- Health Affairs

"To continue being blunt, it’s all about how doctors and patients relate to one another. And the problem with a difficult patient isn’t just the patient. It’s also the doctor. Difficult patients and their frustrated physicians fail each other. We flop together. We lose hope. And there is no more worthless doctor than one who has lost all hope. Same holds true for a patient."
