    • Highlights the need to understand the patient experience beyond the biomedical model.

    Observation:

    • Empirical study involving 13 GPs and 35 patients (24 female, 11 male).
    • Data collected through 175 semistructured, taped interviews pre- and post-consultation.
    • Developed a patient-perception-model of health to analyze illness experiences.

    Findings:

    • Significant divergence identified between patient and doctor conceptual worlds regarding health and illness.
    • Participants often unaware of the extent or reasons for their differing perceptions.
    • Biomedical aspects of disease have dominated medical research, neglecting humanistic dimensions.
