ABSTRACT
Extensive research has shown that no matter how knowledgeable the physician might be, if he/she is not able to open good communication channels with the patient, he/she may be of no help to the latter. Despite this known fact and the fact that a patient-physician consultation is the most widely performed 'procedure ' in a physician's professional lifetime, effective communication with the patient has been found to be sadly lacking. This review article seeks to discuss 'the what, 'the why' and 'the how' of doctor-patient communication.
RESUMEN
Las investigaciones han demostrado abundantemente que no importa cuán profundos sean los conocimientos del médico, si no puede abrir un buen canal de comunicación con el paciente, no podrá ser de ayuda alguna a este último. A pesar de este hecho conocido y el hecho que una consulta paciente-médico es el 'procedimiento' más ampliamente realizado a través de la vida profesional de un médico, se ha hallado que lamentablemente falta una comunicación efectiva con el paciente. Este artículo examina discutir "el qué", "el por qué" y "el cómo" de comunicación doctor-paciente.
