The 25 Rules of Considerate Conduct for Healers

摘要

Patients want their health care providers to be polite and civil as well as competent. In the first part of this guest commentary, published in the March 2016 issue, I offered tips on how to practice etiquette-based medicine, as advanced by Michael W, Kahn, MD, and excerpted from my book, Advice to the Healer: On the Art of Caring? Here in the second part of the this commentary, I expand on this concept with a look at 25 rules of civil conduct,4 authored by P. M. Forni, PhD, and how these rules may be incorporated into our clinical practice.
