The Overlooked Importance Of Patient Education

In this segment, Dr. Cheri Quincy of the Amitabha Medical Clinic and Healing Center focuses on the problem that lack of medical education presents within the patient-doctor relationship.

Without fundamental medical knowledge, an uninformed patient is less able to participate in his or her own treatment—a limitation that promotes inequality and fearfulness in the doctor's office. Knowing more about your health and how your own body works, on the other hand, can help your physician to give you better advice.
