title: [What does the patient expect from the physician?].
abstract: The modern patient expects his physician to be a qualified and competent expert. Beyond this, the chronically sick also wants him to be a personal advisor and an understanding companion. The paper deals with these two aspects of medical treatment, both from the point of view of the physician and from that of the patient.
