The author, with forty years of experience in practicing medicine, presents a guidebook on how a patient can effectively communicate with their doctor in order to seek a solution to their health issues, as well as what the appropriate behavior of the doctor towards the patient should be today.

The patient's rights, patients' assessments of doctors' behavior, the questions and concerns that the patient has, and the author's positions and opinions are complemented by twenty-three real stories of doctor-patient communication that speak for themselves… and guide both the doctor and the patient towards the correct behavior and effective communication with each other.
