Good Doctor

‘What do these stories tell us about the state of relations between patients and doctors? Do patients have unrealistic expectations, as is often claimed? Is the unhappiness endemic, or just a predictable response from parties whose relationship has broken down?’

This is a thought-provoking book by one of the New Zealanders most qualified to write it. – Graeme Barrow, Wairarapa Times

A visit to the doctor will never be the same again for anyone who reads The Good Doctor. – John Ewan, Nelson Mail

What makes a good doctor? Are there bad doctors out there - and if so how do we protect patients from them? Can we inject more information, more trust and more assured competence into the medical system to solve these problems? Drawing on his years of dealing with patient concerns, Ron Paterson tackles these important questions.
