title: [The physician-patient relationship in the hospital].
abstract: The clinical doctor-patient relationship shows special conditions which are more difficult than those in surgeries of general practitioners. The following contribution presents the results of a qualitative study on the ethic consciousness of people working in the field of public health. It furthermore analyses the doctor-patient relationship in hospitals concentrating on the aspect on the tensions caused by paternalism confronting autonomy and vice versa above all the problem of patients being confronted with more than one person belonging to the staff of a hospital.
