Re: The Voice of the Patient: Time To Bring Out the Muzzle?
This is an absolutely disgusting article and I don't know how this was able to be printed. Totally unethical!
Medical professionals need to use evidenced based practice- be objective, based on research. However, patients live the experience and are subjective!! If this was written about some other areas of health it would be discrimination and possibly a human rights issue! Some of the wording is highly offensive, unnecessary and nasty!
