title: [Terminating patient-physician relationships in primary care: is it the patient's sole privilege?].
abstract: Fair patient - physician relationships are essential in primary care. Rare events may violate this delicate and crucial balance to create a reality in which not only the patient can execute the right of "choosing". The physician as well, might (after a properly constructed procedure of attempting all modes of client communication approach, and a complementary organization-initiated investigation) segregate from a problematic patient by offering an alternative and qualitative primary care solution. The article deals with scenarios that define such unique and grave situations, in order to postulate possible pathways to combat the issue reasonably.
