Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to explore one of the key factors for the deficiencies in the modern health care system: the supposed unprofessional behavior of doctors. This could take several forms ranging from clinical detachment at its mildest to criminal negligence at it severest. By studying the reasons for the lack of professionalism, one could devise ways to rectify the situation and make health care truly patient centered.
