Study Notes
Doctor-Patient Relationships
- Historical evolution of patient and professional relationships in the UK/West:
- 18th century: Bedside medicine (person-oriented, reliant on patient reporting of experience, personal rapport, and relationships)
- 19th century: Hospital and laboratory medicine (pathology reduced reliance on patient experience, growth of hospital as a focus for care, distance between patient and doctor)
- 1970s: Patient centred care (biopsychosocial perspective, relationship as a therapeutic alliance)
Models of Doctor-Patient Relationships
-
- Paternalism: high doctor control, low patient control, biomedical disease model, closed questions, doctor chooses treatment
-
- Doctor as agent: high doctor control, low patient control, decision making stays with the doctor, informed by knowledge of patients' preferences and life world
-
- Consumer: low doctor control, high patient control, information flow from doctor to patient, patient makes informed decisions
-
- Partnership: high doctor and high patient control, recognising patient experience, sharing control and decision making, addressing biopsychosocial needs
Patient and Doctor Relationships in their Social Context
- General practice: minor courtesies and macro structures (e.g. policy, resources, culture) shape conduct in a consultation
- Ceremonial orders: tacit or implicit rules that structure and regulate interaction in a consultation, linked to macro structures
- Different rules of interaction depending on the context:
- Private formats (typical in fee-paying healthcare, USA): polite conduct, doctor's reliance on patient for salary, patients allowed to criticise other doctors
- Bureaucratic format (typical of the NHS, UK): doctor controls the encounter more, no effort to explain or demonstrate expertise, patients not entitled to question a doctor's skill or 'shop around'
Empowerment and Choice in Healthcare
- 'Choice' as a celebrated ideal (Western norms of autonomy, individualism) but 'choice' is not how care happens: patients are active, but in interaction with providers, decisions made over time through social networks and interactions
- Logic of care: care as emergent, dynamic, attentive, involving experimentation
- Opioid Substitution Therapy: health care as discipline, seeking 'moral' discipline in people dependent on heroin, daily attendance and not using other drugs as a way to control and shape behaviour
