This state of affairs is also critically recognized by patients in Britain. It is alarming to note that fewer than half (44%) of patients are ‘very confident’ that their doctor knows what is wrong with them or tells them the truth. Many patients do not feel certain their doctor is discreet or a careful listener, while only 38% of patients surveyed in a recent poll feel certain their general practitioner knows what is wrong with them (The Sunday Times, 10 December 1989, at A4)
