What makes the people trusting witch doctors rather than visiting hospitals for treatment
Answers
Answer:
To pursue the patient's good, the patient must trust the physician (or clinician, or organization) with private information and with his/her body.Trust in the healer is essential to healing itself.16 Trust, at least to some minimal extent, is undoubtedly a prerequisite to seeking care at all.
Trust is, of course, essential to both physician and patient. Without trust, how could a physician expect patients to reveal the full extent of their medically relevant history, expose themselves to the physical exam, or act on recommendations for tests or treatments?Trust promotes efficient use of both the patient's and the physician's time. Without trust, the process of informed consent for the most minor of interventions, even a prescribed antibiotic, would become as time consuming as that needed for major surgery. Presumed consent is a critical manifestation of trust that makes possible much of routine doctor visits.
