While the people /patients in india always says that to consult to a doctor for any problem is our right .but they donot try to know that they also have responsibilities.
If a patient is himself negligent and if something happens to the patient the responsibilities for complications is always put on the doctors.but nobody tries to find out whether the patient was negligent towards his health.
The patients in india take liberty to consult many doctors and they just go on taking re-consultations for a particular problem but the time they make the decision it is very late for the attending doctore to control his complications
The patients hide their history and does not tell right situation which is difficult for the doctor to do diagnosis.
If diagnosis is not correct the doctors cant make the treatment plans.
So people should also know their resposibilities for taking good and fair medical advise
These are some i am giving below for the knowledge of all the people so that they are able to get good and fair medical advice in our country as is done in other developed countries....Doctors and patients both have rights, but patients also have several responsibilities
As a patient, it is good to know the responsibility a person has to receive the highest-quality medical care as well as to make sure he properly manages his health. Duties and responsibilities of the patient
Patient's responsibilities include:
keep appointments punctually-
take the medicines as prescribed by the doctor
getting in touch early and often with the doctor if anything is going wrong , if one feels that medicine is creating some more trouble than curing him or feels the the medicines received are not working properly
paying promptly for one's medical services ..
Patients should try to take an active interest in their medical care; read and research as much as possible the condition they face. This will help the patient compile a list of questions to ask his or her doctor about problems, medications, treatment and what to expect driving the doctor mad repeating the same question
asking about a friend's problems during a consultation
making emergencies out of minor issues
