Without Trust Even the Best Medications May Fail

Trust is a major driving force for all human relationships. It is a forward-looking covenant between the doctor and the patient where the patient believes that the doctor acts in the patient’s best interest. It is also defined as an optimistic acceptance of vulnerability by the patient in the belief that the doctor will act with moral character and competence. Trust is essential for a successful doctor–patient relationship.
