Quoted: Medical ethicist Daniel Sokol finds the doctor-patient relationship in India is profoundly different to in the West.
A first-hand, Western doctor's exposure to patients' rights in India (or lack there of). I do wonder how doctors deal with patients lacking any medical knowledge--I mean, do you save the man's life even if it means going against their decision b/c it is not an informed, educated decision, or do you let him die b/c that's what he wants. I would really like to shadow doctors in India. I don't really agree with the title of this article as the patients aren't really sufferring.
