[Consequences of the press coverage for the doctor/patient-relationship]
1II. Med. Abt. Rotkreuz-Krankenhaus, München.
Abstract:
The influence of press coverage is very important for the doctor-patient relationship. On the one hand nowadays the media provides the possibility to get informed by the media in advance. On the other hand it sometimes leads to grotesque over reactions on certain medical innovations. Often a simple solution is offered too fast. For example the side-effects of drugs are demonstrated in an absolutely exaggerated way. In this article examples for both, the positive and the negative effects of press coverage on medical issues, are presented.
