¶ … doctor and patient relationship behavior in a new light. The research documented in this article attempted to describe the effect of bedside case presentations vs. conference room style presentations. The impact of the medial care was interpreted through the patients perceptions of their medical care.
The research contained in this article was premised upon the idea that a significant difference may be noticed through different doctor presentations. The dichotomy presented here was bedside presentations may be more effective than the more rigid and academic style of the conference room presentation. They wrote "Despite the potential advantages of bedside presentations for students and physicians, there has been a trend to move clinical teaching away from the bedside and into the conference room. Concern about patients' discomfort with bedside presentations appears to be one reason for this change. Studies of such presentations have focused on patients' impressions and measurements of patients' anxiety. Bedside and conference-room presentations have not been directly compared."
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this research were to perform a randomized, controlled trial to compare bedside presentations with conference room presentations with their impact on patients perceptions of satisfaction.
Study Methods
To better understand this problem...
Groups of doctors performed both bedside and conference room style presentations and patient satisfaction was measured and statistically analyzed.
Key Findings
This study created many more research questions in its attempt to determine the differences in bedside and conference style presentations. Of approximately the 200 patients involved in the study, much data inferred several key ideas. The author's concluded that "our study suggests that when patients who have had bedside presentations are compared with patients who have had conference-room presentations, the former report more time spent with their physicians, similar perceptions of the technical and interpersonal qualities of their care, and similarly high degrees of satisfaction." This research however is incomplete because as the patient's groups are broken down further distinctions become more obfuscated.

Key Finding
The researchers of this article found that there is much ignorance about the health benefits of exclusive breast feeding in Kenya. Many of the perceived ill health symptoms appeared to be associated with a lack of exclusive breast feeding practices. The authors suggested that more needed to be done in terms of educating young mothers and caregivers in this environment to practice exclusive breast feeding methods on their infants. Too much reliance is given to "their own backyard garden, and popular and folk medicines."

To wit, power is a huge influence in any social interaction, and in a study reported by the University of California Press (West, 2008, p. 87), men often interrupt women during conversations because men are generally viewed as the power in any male-female interaction. "Physicians interrupt patients disproportionately" in doctor-patient interactions, West writes, "except when the doctor is a 'lady'; then, "patients interrupt as much or more than physicians,
Doctors and Ethics Is there currently a lack of sustainable ethical behavior in the physicians' profession? Do doctors care enough and are their ethical behaviors adequate for the trust that people must put in them? What should doctors be doing that would make their practice more ethical and would help them to provide more real care to their patients? These questions and others will be reviewed and critiqued in this paper. "Harm
These studies demonstrate that there are several factors associated with patient noncompliance, regardless of the disease being treated. Medication side effects represent only one of these issues. Nurse practitioners could help to resolve many of these issues by being proactive and asking questions about side effects in patients at risk for becoming noncompliant. They may also be able to predict noncompliance in patients that are prescribed medications with known side
